Forest Disturbances: Occurrences and Impacts of Recreational, Hydrogeomorphic, and Climatic Disturbances
… biotic and abiotic factors on the occurrence of frost-induced cambial damage. In southwestern Virginia, modeled soil erosion rates for multiple-use (hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding) recreational trail approaches to stream crossings were found to be 13 times greater than rates for …

Unraveling Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Dormancy and Bloom Time in Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh)
… and bud break of apple often coincide with late-spring freezes that cause severe damages to flowers, and small fruitlets. Therefore, the present study aimed to better understand mechanisms underlying bud dormancy in apple, with an ultimate goal of exploring chemical and/or genetic approaches for …

Essays on the Economics of Policy and Regulation in Agricultural and Food Markets
… for cherry growers facing crop losses due to spring frost and excessive summer rain. Here we developed a framework to model stochastic prices, yields, and revenue for sweet cherries in New York and Michigan in a Monte Carlo simulation framework. This research constructed a novel dataset …

Systems-Level Analysis of Rootstock–Scion Interactions in Apple Reveals Mechanisms of Cold Tolerance Under Field Frost Events
Late spring frosts threaten apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) productivity by damaging developing floral buds, yet the mechanisms underlying rootstock-dependent cold tolerance in orchard conditions remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated frost tolerance in two apple (Malus domestica …

GENOMIC TOOLS TO IMPROVE PEACH (P. PERSICA L. BATSCH) RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHALLENGES
… manipulate the dormant period in order to avoid spring frost and to select the appropriate cultivar to be grown in a certain environment. Nowadays, renewed interest is rising in this topic in light of projected changes in thermal availability and distribution during winter season that may affect …
