Abstract:
... The frequency at which seed accessions are monitored for viability during storage in genebanks (reciprocal of the monitoring interval) must balance timely detection of loss in viability against monitoring cost (seed depletion and staff resource). Up to three decades of genebank seed germination test results of diverse grasses maintained in the International Livestock Research Institute’s medium-te ...

Abstract:
... Vegetation restoration often promotes the development of biological soil crusts (biocrusts), which have a significant role in the terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycle. However, biocrusts are not always considered when assessing soil N responses to restoration efforts, especially in subtropical regions. We assessed the effect of various restoration strategies on moss-dominated biocrust properties and soi ...

Abstract:
... Drought resistance is a crucial attribute of plants and to properly decipher its mechanisms, a valuable plant model is required. Lolium multiflorum is a forage grass characterized by a low level of abiotic stress resistance, whereas Festuca arundinacea is recognized as a species with drought resistance, including both stress avoidance and tolerance strategies. These two species can be crossed with ...

The total number of machine passes can be 15 or more with normal traffic (NT) systems resulting in potentially large areas of a field suffering from direct damage to the crop and soil. Literature suggests there can be grass dry matter yield reductions of 5 to 74% under NT t ...
