ISSN:
0018-5345
Subject:
cultivars; Tecoma; plant breeding; growth habit; plant propagation; Florida
Abstract:
... Miami Sunrise, Miami Sunset and Tangelo are fast-growing T. guarume cultivars that produce flowers periodically throughout the warm months of the year. Miami Sunrise grows no taller than 1.5 m. The leaves are 11-13 cm long and have mostly 9 leaflets per leaf. The flowers open orange and fade to yellow with orange-yellow striations, passing through a bi-colour stage. This cultivar produced few frui ...

Abstract:
... Scarletprince is an attractive, very firm peach ripening in Redglobe season. Julyprince is an attractive, large, very firm peach ripening slightly after Redglobe. These yellow-fleshed, normal-acidity cultivars provide alternatives to southeastern growers for the Redglobe-Majestic ripening season. Both have performed well in South Carolina and Georgia, and are suggested for trial wherever Redglobe ...

Abstract:
... Adequate characterization of potential evapotranspiration (PET) plays a critical role in hydrologic budgets, rainfall–runoff models, infiltration calculations, and drought prediction models (to name a few applications). The availability of reliable and continuous meteorological data remains a challenge; therefore, it is common to use modeled (simulated) meteorological data. This research used the ...

Abstract:
... The hardbottom, patch, and bank reefs of Biscayne National Park (BNP) are among the most northern reef communities in the Florida Keys reef tract. The close proximity of BNP reefs to highly developed areas (i.e., the greater Miami metropolitan area) make them both heavily used and susceptible to a multitude of anthropogenic stresses. This study analyzes a unique 1977–1981 data set on stony-coral a ...

Subject:
groundwater flow; karsts; aquifers; wellhead protection; stochastic processes; subsurface flow; statistical models; hydrologic models; Florida
Abstract:
... Development of any numerical ground-water model is dependent on hydrogeologic data describing the subsurface. These data are obtained from geologic core analyses, stratigraphic analyses, aquifer performance tests, and geophysical studies. But typically in remote areas, these types of data are very sparse and site-specific in terms of the aerial extent of the resource to be modeled. Uncertainties e ...

Abstract:
... Invasive plants can respond to injury from natural enemies by altering the quantity and distribution of biomass among woody materials, foliage, fruits, and seeds. Melaleuca, an Australian tree that has naturalized in south Florida, has been reunited with two natural enemies: a weevil introduced during 1997 and a psyllid introduced during 2002. We hypothesized that herbivory from these and other ad ...
