Localization and genetic mapping of some factors influencing rachis brittleness and free-threshing habit in wheat

Creator:

Nalam, Vamsi J.

Abstract:

Domesticated forms of wheat exhibit traits that have increased their adaptation to cultivation by humans. Some of the most critical adaptive differences involve changes to morphological features that make the crop easier to harvest like ear rachis stiffness (brittle to non-brittle rachis) and the ease with which the seed is...

Climate change impacts on mountain snowpack presented in a knowledge to action framework

Creator:

Sproles, Eric A.

Abstract:

Throughout many of the world’s mountain ranges snowpack accumulates during the winter and into the spring, providing a natural reservoir for water. As this reservoir melts, it fills streams and recharges groundwater for over 1 billion people globally. Despite its importance to water resources, our understanding of the storage capacity...

Sensitivity analysis of the Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) and use in evaluating two agricultural management scenarios

Creator:

Metta, John W. P.

Abstract:

Abstract Watershed-scale fate/transport modeling of contaminants is a tool that scientists and land managers can use to assess pesticide contamination to stream systems. The Catchment Modeling Framework (CMF) is a catchment-scale fate/transport modeling tool. It was developed to help scientists and land managers assess the effects of possible land-use decisions...
