Food, Fiber, Fuel, and Fun from Rangelands

Erosion Rates from Forests and Rangelands following Fuel Management

Abstract. In both forest and rangelands, fuel reduction operations are now common practices. Mechanical thinning followed by prescribed fire is common in forests, while fire is frequently applied to rangelands. Studies at different scales (50 sq m to 389 ha) measure the erosion from fuel management. This presentation compares runoff and erosion from these studies. Plot size has the greatest inf...

Sequence-based breeding; application to unravel traits of the 6F crops: food, feed, fiber, flowers, fuel and fun

The genomes of the world’s most important crop species differ enormously in size, ploidy levels, repeat composition and germplasm diversity, posing a tremendous challenge to utilize them for breeding and trait improvement. Keygene’s Crop Genome Center addresses this challenge by developing and applying sequence-based methodologies to advance building genome assemblies and elucidating genetic di...

Fossil Fuel and Food Security

ECHN honors cancer survivors with fun, food and inspirational stories.

A nostalgia theme was fully explored by Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN), Manchester, Conn., in its celebration of Cancer Survivors Day, June 6. The observance is sponsored by the national Cancer Survivors Day organization. This year more than 700 facilities across the country observed the occasion.
