"Review of cool-season turfgrasses for salt-affected roadsides in cold climates" with Dr. Eric Watkins. Salt is commonly spread on roads in colder regions to help keep them clear of dangerous ice. However, salted roads can pose some environmental risks. Roadside turfgrasses can help alleviate some of those problems, but drought, heat, salt, ice, and more can mean a roadside is not always the happiest place for grass to grow. This episode, Dr. Eric Watkins walks us through some of the harsh conditions roadside turfgrasses face, the pros and cons of several popular grasses, and how we can wisely mix them for resilient roadside spaces. Tune in to learn: Why roads in Northern Climates get salted What ecosystem benefits roadside turfgrasses provide Which grasses perform best in roadside conditions What are some tips for designing a healthy turfgrass mix If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20326 This paper is always freely available.

"Greenhouse gas fluxes from turfgrass systems: Species, growth rate, clipping management, and environmental effects" with Drs. Quincy Law and Jon Trappe Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases that contribute to climate change. These gases, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, are both absorbed and produced by turfgrasses; however, it is possible that choosing the right grass species and management practices can help reduce emissions. In this episode, Drs. Quincy Law and Jon Trappe discuss two experiments in which they tried to pinpoint which grass species and management practices are most effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from turfgrasses.

"Assessing the Effects of Lake-Dredged Sediments on Soil Health: Agricultural and Environmental Implications on Northwestern Ohio" with Angélica Vázquez-Ortega and Russell Brigham Shipping accounts for a large portion of the Ohio economy. Channels therefore need regular dredging to keep shipping channels clear. In the past, such sediments were often released back into Lake Erie. However, as this can cause environmental problems, the Ohio legislature banned the practice of open dumping in Lake Erie in 2020, creating quite the sticky situation for dredging teams. Enter Dr. Angélica Vázquez-Ortega and Russell Brigham, two researchers working to find new uses for these sediments. In this episode, we discuss their work testing the efficacy of lake-dredged sediments as farm amendments.

"Varietal Timelines and Leadership Challenges Affecting the Legacy of Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov" with Dr. Joel Cohen Nikolai Vavilov was an agronomist and seed collector whose life spanned the regimes of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. These were years plagued by extreme famine, especially in the Ukraine. Vavilov strove to follow Mendelian science and practices to improve plant breeding programs, seed conservation, and food security. He travelled to and collected seed from over 50 countries in his lifetime and was the founder of one of the world's oldest seed banks; however, he died defamed and imprisoned, with his name struck from the history books. This episode, in honor of seed week, Dr. Joel Cohen joins us to discuss Vavilov's work, the ongoing work to restore his reputation, and why his legacy matters today. Tune in to learn: What the four phases of Vavilov's life were What challenges he faced during his lifetime The fate of several of his colleagues during the siege of Leningrad How Vavilov has been honored and rehabilitated since his death If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20425 It will be freely available from 22 March to 5 April, 2021.

"Drawn to natural history: Enhancing field courses with drawing and field journal instruction" with Bethann Garramon Merkle. Field drawing has long been used as a method of documentation and observation in the natural sciences. However, more technologically advanced documentation tools, perceived dichotomies between artistic and scientific capabilities, and low artistic confidence in both students and instructors have resulted in declining interest and usage of field drawing as a skill. Can the value of field drawing be revived? How can these mental barriers be challenged and overcome? Bethann's been working hard to find out.

"Risk assessment of pollen-mediated gene flow from Ga1-m field corn to dent-sterile Ga1-s popcorn" with Dr. Amit Jhala and Dr. Ethann Barnes. Popcorn accounts for a small portion of the corn grown in the United States. It is therefore important to protect popcorn varieties from cross-pollination with other field corn varieties. Up until now, genetic differences have protected popcorn from field corn cross-pollination. However, the introduction of certain Mexican maize varieties into the corn breeding pool for desirable traits has also introduced the potential risk for corn plants that are genetically compatible with popcorn cross-pollination. Drs. Jhala and Barnes are working to assess these risks to your favorite snack. Tune in to learn: How cross-pollination in corn is similar to keys and doors. The process by which corn plants are pollinated What some of the key factors are in corn cross-pollination Why even as little as 5% gene flow can pose a severe threat If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20254 It will be freely available from 4 December to 18 December, 2020.

"Registration of 'Butta 12', A Two-Row Malting Barley Adapted to the California Central Valley with Proven Floor-Malting Success and Craft Brewer Acceptance" with Lynn Gallagher and Ron Silberstein California is a prime location for craft brewers and microbreweries. However, fungi and virus disease susceptibility have made it difficult for many barley varieties (such as those used for the malt used in beer and whiskey production elsewhere) to thrive in California's Central Valley. Lynn Gallagher has spent twenty years developing disease and fungi resistant malting barley varieties. Working with UC Davis, USDA, and Ron Silberstein of Admiral Maltings, he and other barley growers have tested hundreds of barley varieties for both agronomically valuable traits and malting quality. In this episode, we talk with Lynn and Ron about what goes into malting, barley breeding, and the three tiers of testing that malting barleys must undergo before finding their way into your favorite brew. Tune in to learn: The history of malting barley in California What malt is and how it's made What agronomic traits are valuable in malting barley Why it's important for barley to be tested at multiple levels of scale before being used in malt production If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/plr2.20067 It will be freely available from 20 November to 4 December, 2020.
