Crop Physiology and Productivity: The Iraqi Experience

Crop Genetics And Physiology

Approaching the photosynthetic limits of crop productivity.

Linguistic experience and productivity:

Morphological productivity (roughly: the readiness with which a word formation process forms new words) has long been one of the central mysteries of morphology. There are many detailed qualitative descriptions of word formation processes that list the restrictions for the possible bases for an affix (like the restriction that -able attaches to verbs in English) or the restrictions on a given c...

Update on Climate Change and Global Crop Productivity The Influence of Climate Change on Global Crop Productivity

Climate trends over the past few decades have been fairly rapid in many agricultural regions around the world, and increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) levels have also been ubiquitous. The virtual certainty that climate and CO2 will continue to trend in the future raises many questions related to food security, one of which is whether the aggregate productivity of globa...

Drivers of grazing livestock efficiency: how physiology, metabolism, experience and adaptability influence productivity

Beef cow efficiency is a century’s old debate on what the criteria, certain phenotypic traits, and definition of an “efficient” cow. However, we do know that energy utilization by the cow herd is proportionally large compared to the rest of the sector, which accounts up to 70 to 75% of dietary energy for maintenance with the residual used for pregnancy, lactation, activity and adaptation to the...
