Evolutionary history of the canary grasses (Phalaris, Poaceae)
Canary grasses (Phalaris, Poaceae) include 21 species widely distributed throughout temperate and subtropical regions of the world with centers of diversity in the Mediterranean Basin and western North America. The genus contains annual/perennial, endemic/cosmopolitan, wild, and invasive species …

Phenology, canopy development, biomass and grain yield of annual canarygrass (Phalaris canariensis L.)
Canaryseed (Phalaris canariensis L.) suffers from low and unstable grain yield. This study investigated whether canaryseed phenological responses to air temperature were associated with grain yield instability. Two glabrous- and one pubescent-hulled canaryseed cultivars were compared with a …

Ecohydrology effects of an invasive grass (Phalaris arundinacea) on semi-arid riparian zones
… have extensive stands of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea). Reed canary grass was historically planted for erosion control and as a forage crop, but its ability to invade and create monotypic stands has allowed it to out compete native vegetation in riparian areas throughout much of …

Fire, Soil, Native Species and Control of <em>Phalaris arundinacea</em> in a Wetland Recovery Project.
<p>Southern Appalachian <em>Phalaris arundinacea</em> control was investigated by: 1) correlating cover and species richness with soil characteristics across transects; 2) burning and herbicide use to determine conditions facilitating native plant establishment; and 3) hemi-parasitic …

Capacité de germination de trois espèces exotiques et trois expèces indigènes au parc national du Canada Kouchibouguac, N.-B., Canada
… de la germination de trois espèces exotiques, le phalaris roseau (Phalaris arundinacea), la salicaire pourpre {Lythrum salicaria), l'armoise de Steller (Artemisia stelleriana) et de trois espèces indigènes écologiquement rapprochées, le calamagrostide du Canada (Calamagrostis canadensis), …

Desarrollo de modelos de predicción de emergencia de malas hierbas en condiciones de secano
… Lolium rigidum Gaudin y las tres especies de Phalaris (Phalaris brachystachys Link, Phalaris minor Retz y Phalaris paradoxa L). Por un lado, L. rigidum y A. sterilis ssp. ludoviciana son malas hierbas problemáticas en todo el mundo, y en los últimos años se ha incrementado la dificultad para …

Changes in Wetland Conditions and Wetland Plant Communities in the Prairie Pothole Region After 50 Years
… of invasive plant species (e.g., Typha, Phalaris arundinacea, Poa pratensis, and Bromus inermis). Wetlands at the three study areas responded to the excess water from the deluge in unique ways. Wetlands at Crystal Springs were larger, deeper, and fresher in 2013-14 compared to the 1960s. …

Allelopathic effect of imperata cylindrica (L.) beauv. extracts on the germination of weeds
… Lolium perenne, Macroptilim lathyroides, and Phalaris canariensis. Distilled water and glyphosate were used as negative and positive control, respectively. Various factors were studied to determine the inhibition and growth of root and shoot length, percentage germination, and fresh and dry …

Identification of genes related to self-incompatibility in ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)
… and grass species (Solanaceae, Brassicaceae and Phalaris coerulescens) are also present in L. perenne. Based on the results, we could conclude that no S-RNase based system (active in members of the Solanaceae) is present in ryegrass. This result was not surprising as very little features with …

Lowland savanna of southeastern Iowa: historical and modern vegetation patterns and implications for management
… areas, as well as those dominated by invasive Phalaris arundinacea (reed canary grass). Overstory and understory vegetation composition and abundance, elevation, ground level light, depth of inundation, soil texture, soil carbon, and soil nitrogen were measured in study plots and ordinated. …

Enhancement of Floral Species Richness in Glaciated Prairie Temporary Wetlands
… of these treatments on reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.), 2 of the temporary wetlands selected had plant communities dominated by this undesirable colonizing species. Experimental treatments were a combination of (1) application of glyphosate herbicide (spray); (2) cutting and …

Taxonomic homogenization of plant communities in Illinois wetlands and the role of wetland compensation
… due to the increased presence and abundance of Phalaris arundinacea L. and the decline of several other species. The canopy layer of floodplain forests has also homogenized as Celtis occidentalis L. has increased in importance. While wetlands did display patterns of changing dissimilarity that …

Conversion of Exotic Cool-Season Grasslands to Restored Native Plant Communities Utilizing Herbicide Treatments
… bluegrass (Poa pratensis), and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea). Information was collected to evaluate methods of control for exotic grass species and reestablishment or rehabilitation of native plant communities in eastern South Dakota. During the fall of 2005 and the spring of 2006, I …

Ecohydrology of Natural and Restored Wetlands in a Glacial Plain
… bulrush (Scirpus Spp.), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), cattail (Typha Spp.) and meadow willow (Salix petiolaris), results are similar for the TIR-based and P-T methods with mean absolute difference of 17.1-53.0 W m-2 and root mean squared difference of 23.4-62.4 W m-2 across …

Anthropogenic environmental change and habitat occupancy by riparian muskrats in a Midwestern landscape
Increased urban land cover and more intensive agriculture in the Midwest have changed the landscape for wildlife species. Distributions of semi-aquatic mammals such as muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) may respond to environmental changes including increased urbanization, alteration of hydrology, …
