Abstract:
... The southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is a major pine tree killer in North and Central America. In the southeastern USA, responses by D. frontalis to its aggregation pheromone can be substantially increased by at least three host odours: the monoterpenes alpha‐ and beta‐pinene, and the phenylpropanoid 4‐allylanisole. We executed three ...

Abstract:
... Irrigation is one of the major adaptation strategies to combat the negative impacts of drought on crop yields. However, during droughts, the water resources are limited and determining the exact irrigation amount and its response to crop yields are crucial. Existing crop yield simulation models are data-intensive and a majority of these are point-based. Therefore, this study presents a novel integ ...

... Being detrimental to human health and vegetation growth, ground-level ozone (O₃) is becoming a huge concern as an air pollutant. The processes of formation, diffusion, transformation, and transport of O₃ in the atmosphere are highly affected by meteorological conditions such as solar radiation, temperature, precipitation, and wind. Chemical transport models (CTMs) are widely used in simulating O₃ ...

Pima (Gossypium barbadense L.) cotton is currently grown commercially in the western United States and has exceptional fiber quality, which provides an economic value almost two times greater than Upland (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cotton. Due to limited experience with Pima production in the southeastern United States, our primary objective was to compare the growth, development, agronomic performanc ...

However, most epidemiologic studies have focused on understanding their additive effects, despite that individuals are exposed to multiple air pollutants simultaneously that are likely correlated with each other. Therefore, we applied a novel meth ...

The longleaf pine (LLP) savanna ecosystem once covered ~ 92 million acres of the Southeast USA, but due to anthropogenic activities such as logging and fire suppression, only 3% of its once widespread historic range remains. While many restoration efforts are underway to conserve this biodiverse ecosystem, restoration must be done in the context of climate change. In the last few decades, heatwave ...
