TL;DR: It is likely that predicted future CO2 levels will have little impact on the efficacy of single applications of halosulfuron or glyphosate for control of purple and yellow nutsedge at the growth stages described here, although scenarios demanding more persistent control efforts remain a question.

TL;DR: Experiments on root and rhizosphere response in plants grown in CO(2)-enriched atmospheres will be reviewed and, where possible, collectively integrated, to offer a series of hypotheses which are considered as priority targets for future research.

TL;DR: In this article, the root to shoot ratio (R:S) is defined as the dry weight of root biomass divided by dry body weight of shoot biomass, which is a measure of the proportion between root and shoot.

TL;DR: In this article, an initial evaluation of key questions related to food production and climate change including: how vulnerable is agriculture to invasive species?; are current pest management strategies sufficient to control invasive outbreaks in the future?; what are the knowledge gaps?; can we provide initial recommendations for scientists, land managers and policy makers in regard to available resources?

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of alternative crops as sources of bioethanol production was assessed by growing sweet potato and cassava at locations near Auburn, Alabama and Beltsville, Maryland in order to measure root carbohydrate (starch, sucrose, glucose) and root biomass.
