1. Variability Of Carbon Sequestration In The Tidewater Region Of The Southeastern U.S.In the southeastern US climatic conditions favor long periods of plant growth. This combined with intense rainfall and poor drainage provides idea conditions for the conversion of plant biomass into organic matter. This study combines the results of field experiments designed to examine crop management practices that favor the development of soil organic carbon and organic matter with an examination of the causes for the extreme variability...

2. A Tool for Monitoring Genetic Selection Differentials in Dairy Herds in CanadaA software tool was developed to allow a dairy producer and/or agricultural advisor to monitor the genetic selection differentials (GSD) that a dairy farm is making. The objectives of this study were (i) to monitor GSD in individual farms, over years, so that producers can be advised as to whether or not they are achieving their selection objectives (and hence optimizing productivity and profitability); (ii) the development of a prototype software tool and visualization model to assist producers...
