Deficiencies in the amount of chlorophyll in the cotton plant have been reported in relatively few instances. BALLS (1908) made a cross between an upland cotton with light green leaves and a dark green Egyptian cotton. He states that in the Fz generation, plants with light green leaves and plants with dark green leaves appeared in a 3 : 1 ratio. STROMAN and MAHONEY (1925) recovered two chloroph...

Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Schinus) is an invasive exotic plant widely found in Florida and Hawaii. This species is found from the upland pinelands to the mangrove forests of Florida. Dense Schinus infestations have the capacity to displace native species, reduce species diversity and been shown to reduce faunal use of the community. The purpose of this study was to determine if gas exchan...

[1] Dissolved organic matter (DOM) transport during storms is studied because it is important in the annual watershed export budget for dissolved organic carbon (DOC). We sampled stream water from two watersheds (upland and wetland-dominated) and three subcatchments (bog, forested wetland, and mineral forest) located within the wetland-dominated watershed during a fall and summer storm to inves...

Capture of the first female in Nimba Mountains, Liberia reveals new identity to an Iridana Aurivillius, 1920 species (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Poritiinae), previously identified from male as I. agneshorvathae Collins, Larsen & Sáfián, 2008. The and matching represent undescribed is named languyi sp. nov. newly described known only upland forest zone two mountainous areas Liberia. With 27 fi...

Robust water management systems are crucial for sustainable use, particularly considering rapidly changing, ever-improving supply system technologies. However, the establishment of specific standards in upland fields is challenging, as several types crops cultivated fields. Hence, timing and required amount vary greatly, further rendering drought response challenging. In this study, we evaluate...

Recent studies have shown that, owing to a lack of seed trees, the natural rate of recovery of fire-disturbed bog forests previously dominated by the endemic and endangered conifer Pilgerodendron uviferum (D. Don) Florin is extremely slow. Hence, increasing the number of seed trees in the landscape through restoration planting could remove the principal biotic filter, limiting recovery of these...

– The Upland Sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda) is a migratory shorebird that inhabits grasslands at the breeding and non-breeding grounds. The trophic ecology of the species is poorly known, but it is thought to be insectivorous. In this study, we describe the diet of the Upland Sandpiper and its temporal variation in grasslands of northern Uruguay. From 2008 to 2012, we collected 67 feces at ni...

Drought stress is the main abiotic factor affecting rice production. Rain-fed upland rice which is grown on unbounded fields and totally dependent on rainfall for moisture is more prone to drought stress compared to rice from other ecosystems. However, upland rice has adapted to this limited water condition, thus are more drought tolerant than rice from other ecosystems. We performed the first ...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) was measured in topsoil samples of agricultural soils from 311 locations of Jiutai County, Northeast China. The spatial characteristics of SOC were studied using the Geographic Information Systems and geostatistics. Effects of other soil physical and chemical properties, elevation, slope, soil type and land use type were explored. SOC concentrations followed a lognorma...
