Disturbance effects are rarely distributed uniformly over space or time. Thus, scaling up the effects of disturbances requires detailed measurements across multiple spatial scales. To characterize disturbance from wrack we used monthly images from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a 144,500 m 2 Spartina alterniflora saltmarsh on Sapelo Island, Georgia (USA), from March 2020 to December 2022. Prior work as well as the results...

Limited genetic diversity for fiber quality and yield traits in the improved gene pool for Upland cotton motivates the exploration of exotic materials. In the present study, we carried out QTL mapping for 2 fiber yield components in five BC 1 F 2 and one F 3 resembling intermated population(s) involving 5 ‘converted’ exotic lines of Upland cotton and an elite cultivar “DES56,” as a common parent in all populations. The results...
