Patterns of Reproduction at the Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) Range Edge After a Freeze Event (2023-12-07)Among mangrove species in North America, Avicennia germinans (black mangrove) is the most resistant to freezing temperatures and is the only species found in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Between range-limiting cold events, ...
-
(2023-11-28)Bioenergy sorghum is a drought-tolerant high-biomass C4 grass targeted for production on annual cropland that is marginal for food crops, due primarily to abiotic constraints. To better understand the overall contribution ...
