Abstract:

Living mulch is an eco-friendly practice of growing fast growing leguminous crops in the interrow spaces of a crop with an objective of weed suppression, thereby reducing the use of herbicides for sustainable agriculture. It reduces the negative impacts of intensive agriculture such as land degradation and is a practical way to boost agroecosystem biodiversity. Other benefits include increase in organic carbon content and available nutrient content, improvement in water holding capacity, reduction in soil erosion and pest and diseases. The selection of live mulch species is an important factor

Abstract:

Maritime forests are coastal ecosystems that stabilize coastlines, recharge aquifers, and provide protection against storm surges. The range of these forests has been decreasing due to threats such as urban expansion, clearing for agriculture, climate change, and an influx of native but competitive loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) from pine plantations. To restore maritime forests, southern live oak (Quercus virginiana Mill.) should be established as the dominant canopy species; however, knowledge of how to grow live oak in a restoration setting is limited. We planted southern live oak seedlings

The sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and the complex of viruses it transmits are major limiting factors to squash production in the southeastern United States.

In addition, mushroom compost has physical and chemical characteristics that make it ideal for blending with landscape mulch to enhance growth of horticultural plants. There is currently an oversupply of used compost in mushroom-growing areas, where it represents a major disposal and regulatory problem. Concurrently, artillery fungi (Sphaerobolus spp.), which commonly live in landscape mulch, have recently become

Spraying was interrupted during the first application because of a 2-3 inch rain. Spraying was interrupted during the second application because of a sprayer break-down. The sprayer was operated at 200 psi and 3.4 mph and used 8 hollow cone nozzles/

Abstract:

Weeds pose a major challenge to crop productivity, significantly impacting maize (<em>Zea mays</em> L.), which is Nepal’s second-most important staple crop. Although attainable yield 5.8 t ha⁻¹, the national average is only 3.15 t ha⁻¹, largely due to issues like weed competition that can lead to yield losses of up to 48%. This study, carried out during the winter season at the National Maize Research Program in Rampur, Chitwan, evaluated nine different weed management treatments, weedy check, weed free, green polythene mulching, clear polythene mulching, cowpea co-culture

Abstract:

Mature subalpine spruce-fir forests in western Alberta are often characterized by extensive feather-moss mat coverage of the forest floor surface. The ecosystem role of these mats has been described as one of a nutrient sink because of their ability to assimilate solutes from throughflow solutions and their role as a catchment area for litterfall and detritus. These bryophyte mats are subject to recurring episodes of wetting and drying during the summer months. We examined the potential for pulse release to throughflow solution of previously sequestered carbon held by Hylocomium splendens (Hed

Abstract:

In seventeenth-century Holland, the role of the live model in the making of art and, importantly, as a vehicle for artistic training had become a topic of contention. No other aspect of artists’ education had received more criticism than the use of real-life models. Artists ran the risk of drawing too much attention to the live model, leaving the model’s features visible in their works. These works would look too much like life itself. This essay argues that seventeenth-century theorists devised an intricate concept of style in order to keep life in an artwork at bay. To train artists was to d

Abstract:

The accumulation of live and dead trees and other vegetation in forests across the western United States is producing larger and more severe wildfires. To decrease wildfire severity and increase forest resilience, foresters regularly remove excess fuel by burning woody material in piles. This common practice could also cause persistent ecosystem changes such as the alteration of soil physical and chemical properties due to extreme soil heating, which can favor invasion by non-native plant species. The abundance and species richness of native plant communities may also remain depressed for many

Vines were managed with frequent trunk renewal so that they were pliable and capable of being laid near the ground. One treatment was (A) a control. Three treatments involved pruning vines in the late fall to two to four canes, which were then (B) laid on the ground wi
