The content of 1,626 turfgrass papers published in the quadrennial International Turfgrass Society Research Journal (ITSRJ), 17 multi-issue annual journals, and ad hoc volumes Acta Horticulturae over 12 yr (2008 to 2019) was divided into three categories: cool-season turfgrasses, warm-season other topics (both cool- turfgrasses and/or more general topics) compared together with most recent Impa...

Wheat is increasingly used as a dual-purpose crop (for forage and grain production) worldwide. Plants encounter low temperatures in winter, which commonly results in sugar accumulation. High sugar levels might have a positive impact on forage digestibility, but may also lead to an increased risk of bloat. We hypothesized that cultivars with a lower capacity to accumulate sugars when grown under...

We present a study of the relationship between the surface brightness of the radio continuum emission and the FIR emission within M 31, based on radio maps at four wavelengths (73 cm, 20 cm, 11 cm and 6 cm) and the HIRES-FIR maps at 60 μm and 100 μm. For a common resolution of 5′ we decomposed the radio emission into a thermal and a nonthermal radio continuum map at λ20 cm, and the FIR emission...

Predicted future changes in air temperature and atmospheric CO(2) concentration ([CO(2)]), coupled with altered precipitation, are expected to substantially affect tree growth. Effects on growth may vary considerably across a species range, as temperatures vary from sub-optimal to supra-optimal for growth. We performed an experiment simultaneously at two locations in the current range of loblol...

In this study, past (1970-2005) as well as future long term (2011-2099) trends in various extreme events of temperature and precipitation have been investigated over selected hydro-meteorological stations in the Sutlej river basin. The ensembles of two Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) models: third generation Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model and Hadley Centre Coupled Model hav...

Measurements of carbonaceous aerosols in South American cities are limited, and most existing data are of short term and limited to only a few locations. For 6 years (2002-2007), concentrations of fine particulate matter and organic and elemental carbon were measured continuously in the capital of Chile. The contribution of carbonaceous aerosols to the primary and secondary fractions was estima...

-For much of the 20th century a clear north-south inverse production pattern for Pacific salmon had a time dynamic that closely followed that of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), which is the dominant pattern of North Pacific sea surface temperature variability. Total Alaska salmon production was high during warm regimes of the PDO, and total Alaska salmon production was relatively low dur...

We investigate the behaviour of cosmological baryons at low redshifts z < ∼ 5 after reionization through analytic means. In particular, we study the density-temperature phase-diagram which describes the history of the gas. We show how the location of the matter in this (ρ, T ) diagram expresses the various constraints implied by usual hierarchical scenarios. This yields robust model-independent...

This study investigates the influence of climatic variability on subalpine forest fire occurrence in western Colorado during the AD 1600-2003 period. Interannual and multidecadal relationships between fire occurrence and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) were examined, in addition to the effects of phase inter...
