  • Proposal for Plot Based Plant Phenology Sampling in Puale Bay, Alaska (Adapted from Long Term Ecological Monitoring Program, Vegetation Sampling Protocols 2006)
    Plant Phenology Puale Bay 2010 Proposal for Plot Based Plant Phenology Sampling in Puale Bay, Alaska (Adapted from Long Term Ecological Monitoring Program, Vegetation Sampling Protocols 2006) Stacey E. Pecen U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Peninsula/Becharof NWR, P.O. Box 277, King Salmon, AK 99613 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Phenology, the timing of major biological events during a plant or animal’s life, can be monitored to detect changes in climate. Major events are called phenophases: leaf emergence, flowering, fruit ripening, and senescing. According to Menzel and Estrella (2001), plant phenology studies have shown that the average growing season is increasing by 0.2 days/year. It is especially important to monitor changes in higher latitudes, such as Alaska, where global warming is expected to occur earlier and at a greater magnitude (Henry and Molau 1997). The Northern Hemisphere (above 40o N) has experienced an increase in temperature of at least 0.5oC/decade from 1966-1995 (Serreze et al. 2000, Euskirchen et al. 2009). Monitoring species abundance and diversity is also vital. Environmental conditions dictate the composition of plant communities. Changes can occur over time, disrupting the balance of these interactions. In a nine year study at Toolik Lake, AK, Chapin et al. (1995) found that species richness declined 30-50% when the mean temperature was increased by 3.5˚C. Forbs and grasses decreased in abundance while woody species, such as Betula spp., increased. Changes in species abundance in regions of the arctic, as a result of warming, were also noted by Euskirchen et al. (2009).

  • POMEGRANATE Did You Know: Breaking Into a Pomegranate Will Reward You with Hundreds of Tiny Seeds (Called Arils) Surrounded by a Translucent Pith
    TRY THIS: POMEGRANATE Did you know: breaking into a pomegranate will reward you with hundreds of tiny seeds (called arils) surrounded by a translucent pith. The arils are sweet and juice-packed with a white crunchy seed inside. Most people eat the whole aril, including the fiber-rich seed, but you can also spit the seed out. Pomegranates are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C and K, also packing in a good source of potassium, folate, and copper. Give them a try- they are easy to use and their taste won’t disappoint. How to: Pick it: Choose pomegranates that are plump, round, heavy for their size, and have a glossy, deep red skin. Store it: Store it in a cool dry cupboard to stay fresh for several weeks or in your fridge for up to 2 months Use it: To free the tiny seeds and avoid spraying yourself with the seed’s juice place a halved or quartered pomegranate in a bowl of water. Once in the water, simply use your fingers to loosen the red seeds. The seeds will sink, the white pith floats. Enjoy the seeds by popping a few in your mouth, topping onto salads or yogurt, or trying one of the recipes below! When it’s in season: August to January POMEGRANATE CHICKEN SALAD POMEGRANATE SALSA Servings: 6 Servings: about 10 Ingredients: Ingredients: 1 c. canned pineapple tidbits, drained, juice reserved 1 ¾ c. pomegranate seeds (from 2 pomegranates) 3 c. cooked chicken, diced 1/3 c. 100% pomegranate juice ½ c. diced celery Juice of 1 lime 1 c.

Abstract Recently cancer is measure cause leading to death, So Herbal formulations always have been attracted considerable attention because of their good activity and comparatively lesser or nil side effect with drug. Herbal formulation of Brassica juncea along with natural pomegranate syrup and carrageen as natural gelling agent was prepared. The prepared Oral medicated jellies have significant advantages of both solid and liquid dosage forms which were prepared by simple method using extract of Brassica juncea powder and pomegranate syrup. For all formulations, physical appearance, stickiness, pH, viscosity and In-vitro dissolution studies were assessed. The physical examination of the all batches was giving the potential results but, the optimized Batch B jelly gives best result as compared to other batch. From above result, it was concluded that the optimized medicated jelly having 97.17% dissolution rate showed significant anticancer and Neutraceuticals activities and hence will be safe and effective than allopathic medications.

  • The Parsnip That at One Time It Was Used As a Source of Sugar
    Parsnip: Pastinaca sativa HISTORY “Parsnips have had their admirers for over 2,000 years. The emperor Tiberius accepted part of Germany's annual tribute in the form of a shipment of parsnips. So sweet is the parsnip that at one time it was used as a source of sugar. Parsnip wine has long been made in England, its high sugar levels contributing to a beverage somewhat like sherry.” (Botanica's Pocket Organic Gardening) CHARACTERISTICS The parsnip is a root crop very closely related to THE PARSNIP the carrot.
