Lenoir, Katherine Judith (2013-04-29)Junipers and pines exhibit contrasting patterns of growth decline and mortality with climate change-type warming and drought; yet, the underlying physiological mechanisms are not fully understood. Does warming exacerbate ...

Yang, Yau-Wen (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Two ecotypes of S. halepense (ALA,NM) were used to compare NaCl resistance with cultivar, BTX-HEG, of S. bicolor. The objectives were: (1) to compare NaCl resistance between the two Sorghum species with whole plants and ...

Mondal, Suchismita (2012-07-16)In wheat, cooler canopies have been associated with yield under high temperature stress. The objectives of this study were, i) to understand the role of leaf cuticular waxes as physiological adaptive mechanisms during ...
-
Carman, John Griffit (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium (Michx.) Nash var. frequens F. T. Hubb) is a highly polymorphic perennial grass of North America. The studies described here deal with various effects of defoliation on little ...
-
Butler, Jack Lee (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Two separate investigations were conducted to study the influence of intraspecific competition and herbivory on plant and tiller demography of the bunchgrass Schizachyrium scoparium. The investigations were conducted over ...
-
Biederman, Lori Ann (2009-05-15)Increasing interest among restoration ecologists exists in developing strategies that stimulate biotic interactions and promote self-regulation in restored systems. These approaches should target above- and belowground ...

-
Kinucan, Robert John (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Mechanisms of vegetation dynamics on a shortgrass (Hilaria belangeri) dominated semiarid Texas grassland were investigated. Study sites, which potentially support midgrass communities, were relatively homogeneous, open ...
-
Hollister, Emily Brooke (2009-05-15)In the southern Great Plains, the encroachment of grassland ecosystems by mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), is widespread, and prescribed fire is commonly used in its control. Despite this, substantial quantitative information ...

Linking morphology and physiology as predictors of productivity in elite families of southern pines Chmura, Daniel Jozef (2009-05-15)Crown architecture affects tree growth through the control of leaf area and its display. Yet the linkages between crown structure, leaf traits, and productivity of elite selections of forest trees and responses to intensive ...
-
Lege, Ken Edward (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Ethylene production is reportedly influenced by plant nutrient status. A field and two growth chamber studies were conducted to determine N fertility effects on ethylene production throughout development of cotton (Gossypium ...
-
Akgul, Alper (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The forest product industry is keenly interested in extending the normal planting season, as well as in the comparative field performance of standard nursery bare-root seedlings and containerized rooted cuttings. The effect ...

Murphy, Jeffrey Stephen (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Changes in the red:far-red ratio (R:FR) of solar radiation are an important environmental signal influencing dicotyledonous plant development. Recent studies conducted mainly in controlled environments also indicate that ...
-
Scarnecchia, David Loui (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)In order to accurately describe animals at pasture, it is necessary to have dynamic, dimensionally precise expressions of the relationships among the variables of animals, forage, land area and time. A dynamic, animal-unit ...
-
Skousen, Jeffrey Grant (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Introducing low-maintenance, perennial, plant species into grass pastures by sod-seeding has been identified as a method for improving forage quality and quantity with fewer cultural inputs, and for providing other plant ...
