treatment. Soil temperatures and treatment means of scaled daily growth rates were plotted over time to produce the seasonal patterns of growth and mortality (i.e., periodicity) of each treatment. Mean accumulated root length, shoot extension, and trunk

One of the most important plant traits, in terms of both ecology and agricultural production, is seasonal timing of flowering. Seasonal flowering is driven by the interaction of endogenous genetic pathways with environmental cues such as photoperiod

fall for cool-season grasses would increase stand density sufficiently to limit smooth crabgrass encroachment. The second objective was to determine if seasonal changes in mowing heights on tall fescue would allow a reduced rate of prodiamine to provide

, climatic conditions of the cultivation site, and the incidence of pests and diseases ( Araújo et al., 2008 ). Depending on the seasonal variations of each biome, the crop may have an early or late cycle. The climate can also affect viability of flower set
CO 2 uptake by photosynthesis and CO 2 release by shoot, root, and soil respiration, which can vary with seasonal temperature changes and plant/soil conditions ( Lohila et al., 2003 ). There has been significant previous research regarding carbon
salt movement such as land topographic heterogeneity, parent rock, soil physical and chemical trait ( Baver et al., 1972 ; Charley and West, 1975 ), seasonal rainfall and atmospheric temperature ( Sarah, 2001 ), vegetation cover ( Zwickel et al., 2007
