DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04744-3
Abstract: Land-use change can alter the energy dynamics in aquatic systems by changing the subsidies that form the nutrient base within them. However, experimental evaluations of subsidy change often fail to consider how effects, such as… read more here.

Lamb productivity on stockpiled fescue in honeylocust and black walnut silvopastures
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Agroforestry Systems"
DOI: 10.1007/s10457-018-0264-0
Abstract: Trees in silvopastures can provide forage-livestock systems with multiple goods and services, including shade, shelter, and browse, but the provision of browse has received little exploration in temperate systems. Honeylocust trees (Gleditsia triacanthos) produce nutritious… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2018.05.066
Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) is a severely toxic heavy metal and environmental pollutant. Tall fescue is a cold season turf grass which has high resistance to Cd as well as the ability to enrich it. To investigate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2017.10.002
Abstract: Abstract Human alteration of symbiont genetics among aboveground endophytic Epichloe coenophiala strains within tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus) has led to widespread deployment of novel grass-endophyte combinations, yet little is known about their ecological consequences. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skad068.024
Abstract: Tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus) is the predominant cool-season perennial forage in the Eastern U.S. However, a symbiotic endophyte reduces performance of animals grazing tall fescue. This results in losses of around $2 billion annually. Due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skad068.077
Abstract: Fescue toxicosis negatively impacts cattle productivity. Previous data from our laboratory has demonstrated that cattle within a herd respond differently when grazing tall fescue, thus variation within a breed may provide genetic tolerance to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1078836
Abstract: The plant breeding program has developed many cultivars of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) with low maintenance and stress tolerance. While the root-associated microbial community helps confer stress tolerance in the host plant, it is still… read more here.
