Annual ryegrass, or Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum), has been the most stable, in terms of acres, grass produced for the past 25 years in Oregon. Increased interest in Italian ryegrass as a cover crop has increased demand for quality seed. Ideal Italian ryegrass cover crop cultivars are named...
There is considerable interest in the biogeochemical cycling of cadmium (Cd) and phosphate (PO4) in surface waters, driven in part by the ongoing development of a paleonutrient proxy that utilizes Cd preserved in fossil planktonic foraminifera to determine past PO4 utilization efficiencies in ocean surface waters. The present article reports...
Accurately estimating the vertical flux of material reaching the seafloor from the overlying surface waters is essential for the paleoceanographic reconstruction of a wide variety of oceanic processes. Two approaches are currently being used. One consists of estimating mass accumulation rates (MAR) between dated horizons as the product of linear...
