Las Frambuesas De Otoño En Los Túneles Altos, Daniel Rowley, Brent Black, Trevin Cardon Nov 2009

Las Frambuesas De Otoño En Los Túneles Altos, Daniel Rowley, Brent Black, Trevin Cardon

All Current Publications

Se ha demostrado que los túneles altos son una manera eficaz para extender la temporada de crecimiento de la frambuesa en Utah y otras áreas de los Estados Unidos. Dependiendo del clima, los rendimientos de las frambuesas de otoño cultivados al aire libre pueden ser reducidos significativamente por la primera helada del otoño. Los túneles altos son una de las maneras de protección de la helada, y cuando se los usan junto con otras maneras de protección de la helada se puede extender significativamente la temporada de crecimiento. Investigadores en Nueva York han extendido eficazmente la temporada de crecimiento hasta …

A Survey Of Apomixis And Ploidy Levels Among Poa L. (Poaceae) Using Flow Cytometry, Alicia Michelle Kelley, Paul G. Johnson, Blair L. Waldron, Michael D. Peel Jan 2009

A Survey Of Apomixis And Ploidy Levels Among Poa L. (Poaceae) Using Flow Cytometry, Alicia Michelle Kelley, Paul G. Johnson, Blair L. Waldron, Michael D. Peel

CWEL Publications

Poa is a complex genus taxonomically and genetically. As a result, relatively little information exists for this economically important genus with regards to reproductive mode and variability in chromosome number. We examined apomixis frequency and ploidy levels in 83 Poa accessions representing 33 species from the National Plant Germplasm System using flow cytometric techniques. In reproductive mode analysis, we analyzed at least three preparations of 50 seeds each from the accessions. In ploidy level analysis, at least three plants of each accession were analyzed. Sixty percent of the species had at least one apomictic or facultative apomictic accession; 40% were …

Guide For Quantifying Fuels In The Sagebrush Steppe And Juniper Woodlands Of The Great Basin, Andrea Stebleton, Stephen Bunting Jan 2009

Guide For Quantifying Fuels In The Sagebrush Steppe And Juniper Woodlands Of The Great Basin, Andrea Stebleton, Stephen Bunting

Reports

Prescribed fire is increasingly used for fuels management and ecosystem restoration. Managers and fuels specialists of the Great Basin are often required to estimate fuel loadings to predict fire behavior, recommend fuel treatments, or restore an area to its natural fire regime. Because of invasive species and woodland encroachment, there have been extensive changes in the fire regimes of sagebrush steppe over the past 150 years. After two years of pre-treatment sampling across six states of the Great Basin, the Sagebrush Steppe Treatment and Evaluation Project (SageSTEP) measured many variables including vegetation, soils, hydrology, wildlife, and fuels. These data will …


Piñon And Juniper Field Guide: Asking The Right Questions To Select Appropriate Management Actions, Robin J. Tausch, R. F. Miller, B. A. Roundy, J. C. Chambers Jan 2009

Piñon And Juniper Field Guide: Asking The Right Questions To Select Appropriate Management Actions, Robin J. Tausch, R. F. Miller, B. A. Roundy, J. C. Chambers

Reports

Piñon-juniper woodlands are an important vegetation type in the Great Basin. Old-growth and open shrub savanna woodlands have been present over much of the last several hundred years. Strong evidence indicates these woodlands have experienced significant tree infilling and major expansion in their distribution since the late 1800s by encroaching into surrounding landscapes once dominated by shrubs and herbaceous vegetation. Both infilling and expansion affects soil resources, plant community structure and composition, water and nutrient cycles, forage production, wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and fire patterns across the landscape. Another impact is the shift from historic fire regimes to larger and more …


Optimization Of Soilless Media For Alkaline Irrigation Water, Cody Alexander Tramp, Julie K. Chard, Bruce Bugbee Jan 2009

Optimization Of Soilless Media For Alkaline Irrigation Water, Cody Alexander Tramp, Julie K. Chard, Bruce Bugbee

Hydroponics/Soilless Media

High root zone pH reduces nutrient availability and high alkalinity water is strongly buffered around an alkaline pH. Soilless media can be altered to improve nutrient availability. This study was conducted to optimize the composition of soilless media for use with high alkalinity water. Mixes of peat and/or perlite or vermiculite in 50/50 and 33/33/33 volumetric ratios were tested. In some studies, mixes were also amended with up to 2.4 g/L of dolomite limestone to neutralize the initial acidity of the peat. Mixes containing vermiculite settled more, had higher water holding capacity (WHC) and percent plant available water (%PAW), and …

Apache Plume In The Landscape, Heidi Kratsch Jan 2009

Apache Plume In The Landscape, Heidi Kratsch

All Archived Publications

Description: Apache plume is an evergreen shrub that can reach five feet tall and wide in a landscape setting. This plant’s most distinguishing and attractive feature is the feathery, red- turning-pink seedhead that emerges after the white rose-like, five-petaled flower fades. In the same family as Mexican cliffrose, both species produce similar deeply lobed small leaves; Apache plume’s leaves are lighter green and more finely textured. The bark becomes red and exfoliating with age. Apache plume is a dioecious species, requiring both male and female plants to produce viable seed.
