Canary Island date palms (Phoenix canariensis) have been planted as a landscaping feature plant throughout warm, temperate, and subtropical climates. The physical amenity provisioning of this species (shade effects, microclimate amelioration, water usage, etc.) has so far not systematically assessed. This paper reports on temperature humidity measurements in both suburban rural location SE Aust...

Annual canarygrass (Phalaris canariensis L.) is a specialty crop grown in Canada and the harvested grain primarily used to feed wild domesticated bird species. A field experiment was conducted at 5 locations both 2012 2013 study response of annual development yield combined effects fungicide (propiconazole + trifloxystrobin) nitrogen (N) fertilizer determine minimum number site-years required d...

The final years of the XXth Century and the initial years of the XXIst Century are witnessing a revolution in the construction of large telescopes. This has been possible thanks to the availability of both thin mirror technologies and large computing power. Astronomy is thus benefiting from this. Indeed the turn of the century has been rich with new discoveries, from the detections of extrasola...

Water availability has been considered one of the crucial drivers of species distribution. However, the increasing of temperatures and more frequent water shortages could overcome the ability of long-lived species to cope with rapidly changing conditions. Growth and survival of natural populations adapted to a given site, transferred and tested in other environments as part of provenance trials...
