Water potential, leaf conductance, growth, nitrogen
content, and seedling survival of Wyoming Big Sagebrush
(Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis) following
defoliation of the herbaceous understory were assessed
during two growing seasons. Precipitation was 107% and 63%
of the long-term mean (283 mm) in 1989 and 1990,
respectively, which presented an opportunity...
Summer drought is a major factor limiting the regrowth of perennial ryegrass seed crops. This phase of crop development has a strong influence on seed yield because most of the tillers that contribute towards next season's seed crop are produced or regrown during this period. In recent years many seed...
Protracted drought in the southwest U.S. has had significant impacts on the region’s keystone ecosystem, the pinyon-juniper (PJ) woodlands. Drought conditions in 9 of the last 10 years, exacerbated by extreme drought in one year, stressed the pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) trees, making them highly vulnerable to native ips beetles...

The Pacific Northwest (PNW) is an important region for winter wheat
production in the USA, where water deficits are often present at sowing and during
grain filling. Consequently, improving the genetic adaptation of wheat cultivars to
drought stress represents one of the main objectives in breeding programs. An
observed biochemical...
