(2012-11-12)The ever-growing world population raises the concern and necessity of rational use and distribution of limited water resources. Water deficit is the single most dominant abiotic factor limiting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum ...
-
(2013-01-14)Meteorological drought indices are commonly calculated from climatic stations that have long-term historical data and then converted to a regular grid using spatial interpolation methods. The gridded drought indices are ...
-
(2022-07-26)The Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill) permanently funded a number of supplemental disaster assistance programs, including the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). LFP provides assistance to livestock owners and ...

(2020-06-11)Water is becoming scarcer as the world population increases and will be allocated among competing uses. The strain on potable water supplies heightens the competition for water resources and potentially reduces demand for ...
-
(2012-07-16)Maize production is limited agronomically by the availability of water and nutrients during the growing season. Of these two limiting factors, water availability is predicted to increase in importance as climate change ...
-
(2016-12-08)Several species of oak were used in a series of chamber based experiments. The species of oaks chosen (Quercus alba, muehlenbergii, and virginiana) were selected because they are all emitters of the volatile organic compound ...

(2020-05-22)Body size of animals is plastic and dependent on environmental conditions that are changing globally. In this dissertation, I explore environmental traits as they relate to and drive body size change of North American bison ...
-
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 2015-05)Natural disasters like droughts have a huge socio-economic impact on society. Despite being an important component of mitigation, the concept of vulnerabil- ity in association with extreme events has not been explored ...
-
(2014-07-10)Climate change will likely affect the productivity of forests through changes in precipitation and moisture availability. An important measure of a plant’s ability to assimilate carbon in photosynthesis with limited water ...
