Texas Wintergrass and Buffalograss Response to Seasonal Fires and Clipping
There is increased interest in the use of summer-season fires to limit woody plant encroachment into grasslands, but effects of these fires on grasses are poorly understood. We quantified effects of repeated winter fires, repeated summer fires, and clipping (to simulate grazing) on aboveground total yield, live yield, and percentage of live tissue of C3 Texas wintergrass (Nassella leucotricha [...
متن کاملEffects of Summer Fires on Woody, Succulent, and Graminoid Vegetation in Southern Mixed-prairie Ecosystems: a Review
Interest in the use of summer fires to restore southern Great Plains prairie ecosystems infested with woody plants and cactus is increasing, but information regarding effects on target and nontarget plant species is needed before this practice can be recommended. We review effects of summer and winter fires on mortality and growth of honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), prickly pear (Opuntia p...
متن کاملSeed production in sideoats grama populations with differ- ent grazing histories
Frequent and intense defoliation of grasses has been associated with the evolution of “grazing morphotypes” that exhibit a variety of vegetative traits correlated with improved grazing resistance. While recovery from a seed bank is not considered an important grazing resistance mechanism, relatively little is actually known regarding seed (caryopsis) production in grazing morphotypes of caespit...
متن کاملGrowth and development responses to UV-B exclusion in crops
UV-B radiation affects crop plants. Growing interest has been shown in studying the effectsof UV-B radiation exclusion on crops since 1993. This article summarized the generalconsequences of UV-B radiation exclusion on crop plants from the aspacts of plant morphology,growth and development. UV-B exlusion has promoting effects on plant height, internodeand leaf size. UV-B exclusion increases roo...
متن کاملResponses of inulin content and inulin yield of Jerusalem artichoke to seasonal environments
Seasonal variation (e.g. temperature and photoperiod) between growing seasons might affectinulin content and inulin yield of Jerusalem artichoke. However, there is limited information ongenotypic response to seasons for inulin content and inulin yield. The objective of this studywas to investigate the variability in genotypic response to seasons for inulin content and inulinyield of Jerusalem a...
