Since its introduction into the United States in 1892, zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp. Willd.) has
made a tremendous impact on the US turfgrass industry. Three species of zoysiagrass [Z …

Extreme drought is likely to become more frequent and intense as a result of global climate
change, which may significantly impact plant root traits and responses (ie, morphology …

Plant roots affect the soil shear strength, but the temporal dynamics of roots such as growth
and decay due to different mortality means have rarely been considered. This study …

Water shortages have become more chronic as periodic droughts prolong and water
demand for urban and agricultural use increases. Plant drought responses involve …

Understanding the response characteristics of fine roots to soil drought of different degrees
is essential for revealing the ecological adaptability of trees to different water environments …

Aims Tropical perennial grasses that can rapidly establish deep roots have a greater
potential to survive soil surface drying sooner after establishment. This research aimed to …

Turf‐type bermudagrass is susceptible to winterkill when grown in transition zone climates.
Minimizing water use in turfgrass management is of societal significance. African …

Large amounts of water are consumed by urban parks in arid regions such that efficient
irrigation practices are needed. In Phoenix, Arizona, extensive turf grass areas are …

Developing turfgrass with good drought resistant is a major goal in breeding programs when
water scarcity is one of the long-term challenges facing the turfgrass industry. It has been …

A study describing the overall physiological responses to drought and exploring the
underlying mechanisms in multiple turfgrass species and genotypes is needed to make …
