Evaluation of ten genotypes for leaf physiological performance under a simulated heat wave
(2019)
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) sensitivity to high temperatures is an impediment to adoption in regions prone to heat waves, despite quinoa being a highly resilient crop to a wide range of abiotic stresses. Although ...
Above and belowground carbon stocks differ among meadow vegetation communities in the northern Sierra Nevada, California USA
(2019)
AbstractWhile they cover a relatively small geographic area, montane meadows are hotspots of soil carbon (C) and are characterized by diverse vegetation communities. Estimates of C stocks in meadows could be improved by ...
Post-Wildfire Vegetation Response on Diverse Rangelands in Northeast California: Does Livestock Grazing Management Matter?
(2019)
Wildfires are increasing in size and frequency and are affecting federal lands used for livestock grazing across the western United States. A recommended approach to post-wildfire grazing policy is to rest fire-affected ...
Rates and Controls of Greenhouse Gas Fluxes in the Great Basin, USA
(2019)
Soils are important sources and sinks of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), two greenhouse gases with global warming potentials 30 and 300 times greater than carbon dioxide, respectively. However, soil CH4 and N2O ...
Cheatgrass die-off in the Great Basin: A comparison of remote sensing detection methods and identification of environments favorable to die-off
(2019)
Invasion by cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) has greatly damaged the rangeland ecosystems of the Western United States. While mechanical and chemical control of cheatgrass is possible, control is costly and often ineffective ...
The Public Health Implications of Nicotine Containing Products
(2019)
Background: Tobacco has been embedded into the history of the Americas since before European colonization. Throughout American history, the plant has been used for a culmination of reasons, mainly being what is commonly ...
Habitat preferences, intraspecific variation, and restoration of a rare soil specialist in northern Nevada
(2019)
Edaphic specialization in plants is associated with the development of novel adaptations that frequently lead to speciation, causing unique edaphic environments to be associated with rare and endemic plant species worldwide. ...
Watershed-scale controls on riparian vegetation distribution and dynamics: Impacts of geomorphology, climate, and disturbance
(2019)
Riparian ecosystems provide critical services in semi-arid landscapes, but they are vulnerable to degradation. Fluvial landforms, depth to groundwater, and substrate type influence reach-scale riparian vegetation patterns. ...
Discerning Agronomic Best Management Practices for the Bioenergy Crop Camelina: A Focus on Water Requirements, Sowing Date and Method, and Nitrogen Application Rate in the Semiarid Environment of Northern Nevada
(2019)
The increasing global demand for food and energy has stimulated multiple innovations and adaptive strategies to optimize agricultural productivity in semiarid regions of the world. However, water availability for agricultural ...
Responses of Above- and Belowground Forb and Plant Species Diversity to Grazing Exclusion and Fire in the Northern Great Basin Sagebrush Steppe
(2020)
The legacy effects of improper grazing regimes in the pre-1936 Taylor Grazing Act era and historical fire suppression have contributed to an overall decrease in native deep-rooted perennial bunch grasses and forbs, an ...
