Seasonal growth patterns of perennial plants are linked to patterns of acclimation and de-
acclimation to seasonal stresses. The timing of cold acclimation (development of freezing …

Process-based models (PBM) for simulation of weather dependent grass growth can assist
farmers and plant breeders in addressing the challenges of climate change by simulating …

Ice encasement causes major winter damage in grasslands in coastal areas of Northern
Scandinavia and may also affect grass performance in a future changing climate. Changes …

Finnish N fertilizer application regulations for forage grasses are based on field experiments
mainly conducted in the 1960–1970s with cultivars and management practices typical of the …

Frost damage can decrease nitrogen uptake by grasses over winter, and it can also
decrease biomass production over the following growing season. However, it is not clear to …

Background Vegetated infiltration systems such as raingardens and bioswales are
challenging for plant growth and survival due to fluctuating hydrological conditions and …

Scenarios of climate changes indicate longer and more frequent spells of mild weather
during winter in northern latitudes. De‐hardening in perennial grasses could increase the …

Background and aims Climate warming has the potential to increase both the exposure and
vulnerability of grass roots to frost in temperate regions by reducing snow cover and altering …

Context Tropical pasture have been little explored for haymaking, due to lack of information
regarding loss of nutrients and of forage dehydration. Aims This study aimed to evaluate the …

Growth of perennial grasses in the fall represents a balance between an extended growing
season and increased vulnerability to frost. Within species along latitudinal gradients, plants …
