The spatial and temporal distribution of forage quality is among the most central factors affecting herbivore habitat selection. Yet, for high latitude areas, forage quantity has been found to be more important than quality. Studies on large ungulate foraging patterns are faced with methodological challenges in both assessing animal movements at the scale of forage distribution, and in assessin...

Traditional Ofada rice varieties from South-West, Nigeria is preferred for its unique taste, aroma and massive potential export but has low yield. Based on this background, two varieties, FUNAABOR 1 2 were irradiated to create genetic variability as it affects vegetative traits. Seeds the exposed nine levels of 60Co gamma irradiation (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 400 Gy). The seeds nurse...

Albedo is a key component of the atmospheric, climatologic and remote sensing studies by means global warming, energy balance, evapotranspiration, climate models, hydrological cycle etc. For these reasons, accurate determination surface albedo has become more important. In this study, variation measured values winter wheat, barley sunflower cultivars according to phenological stages was investi...

The wild dioecious plant Corema album, endemic to the Atlantic coast of Iberian Peninsula, has potential become a new crop and integrate berry fruit market. Due its potential, aim this study was propose BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt CHemical Industry) scale for species. Based on field observation, principal growth stages were described sequentially established. Photographs st...

desert and marginal lands of playas which are covered with halophyte shrubs, play a great role in supply of forage for livestock as winter rangelands. in this research, plant samples were collected from four palatable halophyte species for zandi sheep of qom desert rangelands including seidlitzia rosmarinus، halocnemum strobilaceum، alhagi camelorum and tamarix passerinoides in two phenological...
