Extreme Northern Acclimatization in Biennial Yellow Sweetclover (Melilotus officinalis) at the Arctic Circle [PDF]
Biennial sweetclovers (Melilotus spp.) are among the most winter-hardy of the legumes used as forage crops (Bula and Smith 1954; Gorz and Smith 1973; Hodgson and Bula 1956; Klebesadel 1971b, 1980). Common strains and cultivars of both yellow-flowered

RAISE OF HIGH FROST-RESISTANT AGROPYRON–TRITICUM HYBRIDS
One way of obtaining high-frost-resistant varieties of winter wheat is a wide hybridization with wild relatives, in particular, certain species of wheatgrass. The most promising frost resistance donor is Agropyron glaucum (Desf. ex DC) Roem. & Schult.

Arthropod Faunas of Monocultures and Polycultures in Reseeded Rangelands [PDF]
Sap-feeding and predaceous arthropod faunas of forage bunchgrasses in reseeded rangeland vegetation were examined. Four major species of sap feeders were found; the major predators were spiders.

Transpiration, as one of the components of hydrological cycle, has not been paid enough attention yet, while it is necessary for sound utilization of rangelands, mostly located in the arid and semiarid regions. The comparison of the different kinds of rangelands species in terms of transpiration rates provides range managers the required information to
