Ahead are a few questions you might have about ragweed, and how to find relief if you are allergic: What exactly is ragweed?
|
|
Blue represents the spread of ragweed under different models, orange and brown represent a decline in ragweed, while black represents areas where the plant's growth will remain stable.
|
|
For ragweed, you can see a direct pollen response to increases in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere: More pollen usually means more seeds, which means more ragweed in the next season.
|
|
By the late 19th century, pink was as common as ragweed.

Other entries that I enjoyed included ESPNU, EQUUS, RAGWEED, SPUNK, DYSTOPIA and OUTIES.
|
|
But experts predict that this year the ragweed is going to be epically bad.
|
|
Start by selecting which kind of pollen affects you most: Tree, grass, or ragweed.
|
|
All this could affect ragweed, a flowering plant that's a main cause of hay fever.
|
|
Since it's spring, ragweed isn't the plant that's making me miserable right now: trees are.
|
|
For other plants, like pollen-spewing ragweed, a warmer winter is effectively a shorter winter.
|
|
However, they only exist for a few allergens right now (ragweed, grass, and dust mites).
|
|
And strangely enough, the team also found that by the 2070s, ragweed distribution might start to shrink from the peak levels seen in the 2050s, thanks to more extreme swings in temperature and precipitation (ragweed, like humans, doesn't love weather that's too hot or too cold).
|
|
But new research published Thursday in PLOS-One adds another annoyance to the list: Allergy-causing ragweed.
|
|
The symptoms of a ragweed allergy are similar to those of other seasonal allergies, Dr. Wolbert says.
|
|
Urban areas with higher concentrations of CO2 will see more allergy-causing plants such as ragweed growing faster.
|
|
"One thing we see is allergic reactions to chamomile tea, because it can cross-react with ragweed," he says.
|
|
Pollen from timothy grass, bluegrass, and orchard grass peaks over the summer, and ragweed pollen spikes in the fall.
|
|
Nonetheless, pollen remains a huge concern in Alaska as well, though the main source is birch trees, not ragweed.
|
|
Studies on ragweed show that the amount of pollen the plant produces actually doubles with higher levels of CO2.
|
|
Scientists found that ragweed grown in the lab flowers more and produces more pollen when carbon dioxide levels go up.
|
|
They calculate that by 2060, the number of Europeans suffering from ragweed-induced hay fever could double to 77 million.
|
|
There are 17 species of ragweed, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, and they're all annoying.
|
|
This allows scientists to separate out how variables like winter temperatures and rainfall in the preceding season influence ragweed pollen.
|
|
"Weed control boards, for example, might include ragweed on their list to keep an eye out and monitor for," Case said.
|
|
For example, common allergens like ragweed and oak tree pollen tend to be "wind-borne," meaning they travel through the wind.
|
|
Ragweed grown in the downtown Baltimore plot thrived, growing bigger and puffing out larger plumes of pollen than its country counterpart.
|
|
Ragweed is a type of weed that grows all across the United States and produces a fine pollen, Dr. Wolbert says.
|
|
This is directly related to a ragweed allergy, which is why some people's symptoms come and go based on the season.
|
|
And, if you successfully ferreted-out the specific differences between the two laws, please affix a ragweed cluster to your badge.
|
|
"Historically they might not have been looking for ragweed, but our study suggests maybe they should start looking for it."[PLOS-One]
|
|
It's almost fall, which means that in addition to pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather, it's time to brace for ragweed season.
|
|
Once you figure out you have a ragweed allergy, there are a few things you can do to help stave off symptoms.
|
|
In general, pollen is emerging earlier in the year and the season is stretching out longer and longer, especially pollen from ragweed.
|
|
Ragweed is handy for studying the impacts of climate on pollen and allergies because it's an annual plant, unlike trees or perennials.
|
|
That means ragweed and other plants start producing pollen earlier in the season, which will lead to more misery for allergy sufferers.
|
|
Why it matters: ragweed and ozone pollution can worsen respiratory problems like asthma and allergies, forcing people to take more sick days.
|
|
Their names almost make them sound like the villains in an old John Wayne movie: Palmer Amaranth, Tall Waterhemp, and Giant Ragweed.
|
|
Some allergies can be prevented with immunotherapy pills Two years ago, the FDA approved the first sublingual pills for grass and ragweed allergies.
|
|
After that, you can expect to feel the effects of ragweed from mid-August up until late fall when the first frost occurs.
|
|
The common ragweed, or Ambrosia artemisiifolia as it's formally called, is a voracious plant known for quickly overtaking whatever environment it's suited to inhabit.
|
|
For instance, in spring there is a high concentration of tree pollen in the air, in summer, grass pollen, and in the fall, ragweed.
|
|
BLANCHESTER, Ohio — A life of farming taught Roger Winemiller plenty about harsh twists of fate: hailstorms and drought, ragweed infestations and jittery crop prices.
|
|
"Our results show that common ragweed is projected to have substantially more suitable climate space in the future across the eastern U.S," the authors wrote.
|
|
So, some plants like ragweed have to pump out a billion-odd grains of pollen to ensure that a few land on a female flower.
|
|
"We're actually seeing that ragweed allergies have been increasing, and part of that theory is that global warming is playing a role," Dr. Wolbert says.
|
|
Swap the dander and ragweed for your not-so-favorite acquaintances and relatives and there you have it — a full-blown case of social allergies.
|
|
With warmer temperatures, parts of the country are going to get even worse for allergies because plants like ragweed will start migrating north, studies show.
|
|
For example, a study found that people with hay fever experienced slower speeds of mental processing during ragweed season than at other times of year.
|
|
When there are higher carbon dioxide levels in the environment, temperatures are higher, which means that ragweed can grow for longer periods of time, he says.
|
|
Though native to parts of North America, ragweed has invaded much of Europe, Asia, and other areas with relatively temperate weather, including some of the Southern United States.
|
|
So, if your dad reacts to ragweed, you're at a higher risk for adult-onset allergies — even if you missed out on 'em on as a kid. 2.
|
|
The 100-patient study was testing those who had at least a two-year history of allergic conjunctivitis triggered by grass, tree or ragweed pollen, the company said.
|
|
Still, the researchers hope (perhaps futilely) that their findings will encourage public health experts and local governments to appreciate the threat of ragweed invasion in the years to come.
|
|
Typically, ragweed season runs from early August until late October, early November, or whenever the first frost happens, explains Miguel Wolbert, MD, a board-certified allergist in Midland, Texas.
|
|
Researchers have found that grasses and ragweed plants increase their pollen production in response to localized surges in carbon dioxide, like from the exhaust of cars along a highway.
|
|
Their research team, analyzing the serum of hay fever sufferers exposed to ragweed, identified and isolated a rare antibody, or blood protein, that attacks foreign substances entering the body.
|
|
A 2002 study Marshall led, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, found that allergic reactions to ragweed pollen cause "significant fatigue and mood changes" in at least some patients.
|
|
The first step for treatment would be to go to a board-certified allergist, so you can get a skin test to make sure you actually have a ragweed allergy.
|
|
The company, which develops allergy therapies, said it would stop its registration study of a grass allergy treatment and preparatory work for a dose-ranging study of its ragweed allergy therapy.
|
|
There's already research suggesting that this is happening in Europe, but the authors of this latest study say theirs is the first to consider the future of ragweed in North America.
|
|
The researchers created different models to predict ragweed's growth within the Eastern U.S. They stuck to that region because of the availability of data on when and where ragweed already grows.
|
|
About 40% of people with a ragweed allergy will also experience something called "oral allergy syndrome," in which they get an allergic reaction inside their mouth from certain foods, he says.
|
|
Assuming you will have to leave your home some mornings this fall, ragweed allergies can also be treated with antihistamines, allergy medications, or immunotherapy allergy shots or drops, Dr. Wolbert says.
|
|
So vaginal steaming is the idea that if you squat over a pot of steaming allergens, because mugwort is a close relative of ragweed, that somehow you can cleanse your womb.
|
|
On our walk, he pointed out some of the same plants, like pokeberry, with which we stained our hands red, and ragweed, which has a pleasing smell if you're not allergic.
|
|
People with certain allergies should also consider possible cross-reactions, for example those with ragweed allergy may also react to alder, and those sensitive to juniper pollen may also react to olive trees.
|
|
For people who suffer from outdoor allergies to ragweed or grass, the best solution is to stay indoors, especially in the morning when pollen counts are highest, and to seal the clean air in.
|
|
High ragweed pollen days have increased by between 15 and 29 days since 19983 in a swath of the country from Oklahoma City north to Winnipeg, Canada, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture study.
|
|
He lists his influences as "George Strait, Garth Brooks, Cross Canadian Ragweed, The Black Crows, and Lynyrd Skynyrd," so it seems he's primed himself for crossover stardom once he finds his place in Music City.
|
|
Common ragweed, a plant native to North America that is invasive in Europe, causes intense allergies for many people and is an example of a plant that can quickly take over under an overzealous grass trimming schedule.
|
|
The states with highest percentages of people "living in counties with both unhealthy ozone days and pollen-producing ragweed" include: D.C., Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Missouri among others.
|
|
"We're seeing extreme pollen levels," said Alan Reppert, a meteorologist in State College, Pa., who warned that while the tree pollen season may peak early this year, the summer grass and fall ragweed seasons could also be severe.
|
|
Graphic: Michael Case/University of Washington (PLOS-One)Even in the more optimistic scenario, the majority of models predicted that, by 2050, ragweed will encroach into new areas of the U.S., including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and more parts of New York.
|
|
Heat waves last year killed people around the world, including Canada, Japan, and the US. Rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are increasing pollen production from plants like ragweed too, and allergy seasons in the United States get worse every year.
|
|
For instance, rising average temperatures are leading to a longer ragweed pollen season, as you can see here: A recent study in the journal Lancet Planetary Health found that airborne pollen counts have been increasing around the world as average temperatures climbed.
|
|
"It was surprising that nobody had looked at ragweed distributions in the U.S.: As climate conditions are changing, where will it spread to in the future?" said lead author Michael Case, who worked on the study during his time as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington, in a statement.
|
|
Lewis Ziska, a research plant physiologist at the US Department of Agriculture, told me that the change in carbon dioxide concentrations from a preindustrial level of 280 parts per million to today's concentrations of more than 0003 ppm has led to a corresponding doubling in pollen production per plant of ragweed.

During subbotniks, "voluntarily mandatory" days of unpaid labor, he would arrive in a white Volga limousine with a scythe in the trunk and lead his army of ideological workers — pianists, lutists, accordionists, choreographers, choir conductors, librarians and theatrical organizers — into cutting back the ragweed on the wasteland behind the institute.
|
|
Here's what scientists project allergy risks from tree pollen will change in the eastern United States under a "high" greenhouse gas emissions scenario: Here's the trajectory for ragweed: And here's what to expect for grass pollen: This means that regardless of your pollen of choice, the future holds more misery for allergy sufferers.
|
|
Complications like asthma attacks induced by pollen have also proven fatal in some instances and lead to more than 20,000 emergency room visits each year in the US. Pollen is a fine powder produced as part of the sexual reproductive cycle of many varieties of plants, including elm trees, ryegrass, and ragweed.
|
|
WASHINGTON — After spending nearly a month out of the public eye, Melania Trump emerged from the White House on Wednesday, putting an end to at least a few of the theories — some her husband has repeated to his 52 million Twitter followers — that blossomed like swampland ragweed during her time in seclusion.
|
|
The belief is that consuming a small dose of local honey containing bee pollen can stimulate the immune system and reduce allergies, explains Miguel Wolbert, MD, a board-certified allergist in Midland, TX. But it's more complicated than that: Pollen that causes allergies, like ragweed or oak tree, tend to be wind-borne, Dr. Wolbert says.

Ambrosia psilostachya is a species of ragweed known by the common names Cuman ragweed and perennial ragweed, and western ragweed.
|
|
Ambrosia trifida, the giant ragweed, is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family. It is native to North America, where it is widespread in Canada, the United States, and northern Mexico. It is present in Europe and Asia as an introduced species, and it is known as a common weed in many regions. Its common names include great ragweed, Texan great ragweed, giant ragweed, tall ragweed, blood ragweed, perennial ragweed, horseweed,Ambrosia trifida.
|
|
Common culprits are common ragweed (A. artemisiifolia) and great ragweed (A. trifida). Concentration of ragweed pollen—in the absence of significant rainfall, which removes pollen from the air, is the lowest in the early morning hours (6:00 AM), when emissions starts, pollen concentration peaks at midday. Ragweed pollen can remain airborne for days and travel great distances, and can even be carried out to sea.
|
|
Chamomile, a relative of ragweed, can cause allergy symptoms and can cross-react with ragweed pollen in individuals with ragweed allergies. It also contains coumarin, so care should be taken to avoid potential drug interactions, e.g. with blood thinners. While extremely rare, very large doses of chamomile may cause nausea and vomiting.
|
|
Small grains in rotation will also suppress common ragweed if they are overseeded with clover. Otherwise, the ragweed will grow and mature and produce seeds in the small grain stubble. Its wind-blown pollen is highly allergenic.
|
|
Scientists have collected samples of ragweed pollen 400 miles out at sea and 2 miles high in the air. A single ragweed plant can generate a million grains of pollen per day. Among North American plants, weeds are the most prolific producers of allergenic pollen. Ragweed is the major culprit, but other important sources are sagebrush, redroot pigweed, lamb's quarters, Russian thistle (tumbleweed), and English plantain.

Most late summer and fall pollen allergies are probably caused by ragweed, a widespread anemophilous plant. Arizona was once regarded as a haven for people with pollen allergies, although several ragweed species grow in the desert. However, as suburbs grew and people began establishing irrigated lawns and gardens, more irritating species of ragweed gained a foothold and Arizona lost its claim of freedom from hay fever. Anemophilous spring blooming plants such as oak, birch, hickory, pecan, and early summer grasses may also induce pollen allergies.

In the past, ragweed was usually cut down, left to dry, and then burned. This method is used less often now, because of the pollution caused by smoke. Manually uprooting ragweed is generally ineffective, and skin contact can cause allergic reaction. If uprooting is the method of choice, it should be performed before flowering.

Z. suturalis is native to Canada and the USA. It was introduced into Russia in 1978 in an attempt to control invasive Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed). About 1500 specimens were originally released which had eliminated ragweed at the experimental control site by 1983. The success of Z. suturalis in Russia led to a population explosion with densities of up to 100,000,000 adults per square kilometre recorded subsequently.

Adults and larvae feed on Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed), A. psilostachya, and A. trifida. Overwintering adults began feeding in late April or early May of the following year, having emerged when ragweed seedlings were only 2–5 cm tall. Larvae of the first or spring generation began feeding in mid-May or early June and most reached maturity by early July. Larvae of the second or late summer generation were evident during the first two weeks of August.

Signs of reaction can include itching, burning, and swelling of the mouth and throat, runny eyes and nose, hives, and, less commonly, vomiting, diarrhea, asthma, and anaphylaxis. These symptoms are due to the abnormal increase of IgE antibodies which attach to a type of immune cell called mast cells. When the ragweed antigen then attaches to these antibodies the mast cells release histamine and other symptom evoking chemicals. Merck & Co, under license from allergy immunotherapy (AIT) company ALK, has launched a ragweed allergy immunotherapy treatment in sublingual tablet form in the US and Canada.

Since Cross Canadian Ragweed, Canada and Plato formed The Departed with fellow Yukon-native Dave Bowen (drums), Seth James (guitar), and Steve Littleton (keyboards), releasing their debut album "This Is Indian Land" in June 2011. Ragsdale and Cross both returned to Yukon. Ragsdale played with Stoney LaRue until 2013 and now works in the oil and natural gas industry, while Cross purchased and operates the bar that was the very first venue Cross Canadian Ragweed performed in 1994. In 2019 Grady Cross and Randy Ragsdale joined singer-songwriter Jason Young to form the band Cross Rags and Young.

This may explain why, though bees are not observed to visit ragweed flowers, its pollen is often found in honey made during the ragweed floral bloom. Other flowers that are generally anemophilous are observed to be actively worked by bees, with solitary bees often visiting grass flowers, and the larger honeybees and bumblebees frequently gathering pollen from corn tassels and other grains. Anemophily is an adaptation that helps to separate the male and female reproductive systems of a single plant, reducing the effects of inbreeding. It often accompanies dioecy – the presence of male and female reproductive structures on separate plants.

Cross Canadian Ragweed started when Randy Ragsdale and original bass guitar player Matt Weidemann, who had been playing in local bands together, met Cody Canada and Grady Cross who had also been playing together. The 4 had known each other since grade school and started playing together in Ragsdale's home 7 nights a week under the tutelage of Ragsdale's father Johnny, who had worked with musical artists in the area. After playing together, the band officially formed by combining a part of every band member's last name, coming up with the name Cross Canadian Ragweed. Weidemann left the group shortly after and Jeremy Plato joined to play the bass guitar.

Chemical spraying has been used for control in large areas. Because ragweed only reacts to some of the more aggressive herbicides, it is highly recommended to consult professionals when deciding on dosage and methodology, especially near urban areas. Effective active ingredients include those that are glyphosate-based (Roundup, Glyphogan, Glialka), sulfosate-based (Medallon), and glufosinate ammonium-based (Finale 14SL). In badly infested areas, are usually dispersed.

At Phillips Spring, dating from 3000 BCE, archaeologists found abundant walnuts, hickory nuts, acorns, grapes, elderberries, ragweed, bottle gourd, and the seeds of Cucurbita pepo, a gourd with edible seeds that is the ancestor of pumpkins and most squashes. The seeds found at Phillips Spring were larger than those of wild C. pepo. The agency for this change was surely human manipulation. Humans were selecting, planting, and tending seeds from plants that produced larger and tastier seeds.

Their development is well synchronized, and most nymphs transform to winged adults during a period of just a few days. Differential grasshoppers are polyphagous, eating both grasses and forbs, but experiments have shown that they grow faster if fed forbs. The most favored food plants tend to be giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida), common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), and prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola). Adults can detect a chemical change in wilted lettuce and sunflowers, and will tend to avoid such plants.

The pollen causing this allergic reaction is produced mainly by ragweed (Ambrosia sp.), blooming at the same time as the goldenrod and pollinated by wind. Goldenrod pollen is too heavy and sticky to be blown far from the flowers, and is pollinated mainly by insects. Frequent handling of goldenrod and other flowers, however, can cause allergic reactions, sometimes irritating enough to force florists to change occupation. Goldenrods are attractive sources of nectar for bees, flies, wasps, and butterflies.

Soapstone—steatite—mining became much more common, but the heaviness of tools may have limited groups from moving and prompting more dependence on trade with groups near steatite, argillite and basalt deposits. With steatite mines in southern Worcester County, the Quinebaug and Blackstone River became a major trading route with Narragansett Bay.

In southeastern Idaho big sagebrush/crested wheatgrass range, Ord's kangaroo rats consumed (in order of proportion) pollen, arthropods, plant parts (Asteraceae) and crested wheatgrass seeds. A study of Ord's kangaroo rat foods in Texas found the primary foods consumed included seeds of sand paspalum (Paspalum stramineum), honey mesquite, sand bluestem (Andropogon gerardii var. paucipilus), common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and rose-ring gaillardia (Gaillardia pulchella). In Texas, seeds of creosotebush, gramas (Bouteloua spp.) and dropseeds (Sporobolus spp.) formed the major portion of Ord's kangaroo rat diets.

The ZIV dub was released on DVD as part of the Fairy Tale Adventures compilation from TCG Direct in 2009. In 1985, ZIV licensed their rights to Harmony Gold, who prepared a feature-film length condensation of the series with another new dub track and music score. Again, the characters were renamed, this time to Angel (Lunlun), Lily (Cateau), Periwinkle (Nouveau), Princess Wysteria (Togenishia), Ragweed (Yabouki) and Stefan (Serge Flora). The episodes that were featured in the film were episodes 1, 7, 24, 29, 49 and 50.

Eating the seed of a thistle plant Eating sunflower heads The American goldfinch is a diurnal feeder. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the species is one of the strictest vegetarians in the bird world. It is mainly granivorous, but will occasionally eat insects, which are also fed to its young to provide protein. Its diet consists of the seeds from a wide variety of annual plants, often those of weeds, grasses, and trees, such as thistle, teasel, dandelion, ragweed, mullein, cosmos, goatsbeard, sunflower, and alder.

41, Florida Geological Survey, Tallahassee. It is surrounded by residential housing in Avon Park, Florida. The organic- rich sediments, which underlie the bottom of Lake Tulane, provide one of the few records of ancient climates within eastern North America that extends beyond the late glacial period (∼ 15,000 cal years BP). Cores from the bottom of Lake Tulane have yielded a record of paleoclimates and paleovegetation, which date back to before 60,000 BP. The Pre-Holocene pollen record shows alternating periods of Pinus (pine)-dominated and Quercus-Ambrosia (oak- ragweed)-dominated vegetation.

Flowers are also specialized in shape and have an arrangement of the stamens that ensures that pollen grains are transferred to the bodies of the pollinator when it lands in search of its attractant (such as nectar, pollen, or a mate). In pursuing this attractant from many flowers of the same species, the pollinator transfers pollen to the stigmas—arranged with equally pointed precision—of all of the flowers it visits. Anemophilous flowers use the wind to move pollen from one flower to the next. Examples include grasses, birch trees, ragweed and maples.

The type of allergens in the pollen is the main factor that determines whether the pollen is likely to cause hay fever. For example, pine tree pollen is produced in large amounts by a common tree, which would make it a good candidate for causing allergy. It is, however, a relatively rare cause of allergy because the types of allergens in pine pollen appear to make it less allergenic. Instead the allergen is usually the pollen of the contemporary bloom of anemophilous ragweed (Ambrosia), which can drift for many miles.

In a part of their esophagus called the crop, the species can store up to 10% of their body weight in seeds overnight, providing extra food on cold days. They will alternately eat the young buds of willows, elms and maples, and the soft stems and leaves of weeds and even young garden vegetables. They'll glean the seeds of grass, dandelions, chickweed, sunflowers and ragweed. Bird feeders often attract pine siskins, where they may eat fragments of heavy-shelled seeds, such as black oil sunflowers, left behind by heavier-billed bird species.

New Mexico Rare Plants. The plant most often grows on steep, west-facing limestone slopes next to a road in one canyon in the Santa Fe National Forest. Other plants in the area include ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii), mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus montanus), Woods' rose (Rosa woodsii), poison ivy (Toxicodendron rydbergii), Indian hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), western yarrow (Achillea millefolium), and white ragweed (Hymenopappus newberryi). The plant grows on bare soils, and probably requires periodic disturbance to keep its habitat clear of competing vegetation.

Parker McCollum was born in 1992 and raised in Conroe, Texas near Houston. Early in his life he listened to classic country musicians such as Willie Nelson, Buck Owens and Porter Wagoner, and his family introduced him to red dirt musicians such as Cross Canadian Ragweed, Pat Green and Chris Knight. Working summers on a cattle ranch with his grandfather, McCollum was further exposed to artists such as Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, and Steve Earle. In elementary school McCollum learned violin and played in the school orchestra, and he started learning guitar at age thirteen.

No complex courtship behavioural patterns have been observed in Z. suturalis; copulation most commonly takes place during the late morning or early evening and lasts from a few minutes to well over an hour. Females lay between 145-563 eggs, over a period of 22–42 days. Eggs are deposited in clusters of two or three on the underside of young ragweed leaves, usually near the leaf tip. Investigations in the USA showed that Z. suturalis had 2 generations a year, but field investigations in China have shown that the beetle species could have up to 3 generations a year in that populations.

Associated species include creosote bush, blackbrush, saltbush, yucca, ragweed, ephedra, rabbitbrush, prairie-clover, James' galleta, cheesebush, Anderson's desert thorn, prickly pear, indigo bush, and cliffrose. The plant is nearly an obligate gypsophile, mainly limited to the gypsum soils of the Kaibab Limestone; it has also been seen on limestone soils. The gypsum is sought after and extensively mined in the area by a process that involves removing the top layer of rock, mining the gypsum-rich deeper layers, and filling the pit with the rubble of the top layer. This process is very destructive to the local habitat.

All these stars have rated higher than 43 on the Texas Music Scene charts. These artists were followed in turn by the work of singer-songwriters such as Pat Green, Robert Earl Keen, Radney Foster, Max Stalling, Wade Bowen George Ducas, Randy Rogers, and Cory Morrow. While the genre has roots in Texas, Oklahoma artists such as Jason Boland, Stoney LaRue, Mike McClure, and Cross Canadian Ragweed have had a major influence on Texas Country. For this reason, "Red Dirt Music" is becoming a more popular term for the genre to pay homage to its Oklahoma influence.

Boosterspice is a compound that increases the longevity and reverses aging of human beings. With the use of boosterspice, humans can easily live hundreds of years and, theoretically, indefinitely. Developed by the Institute of Knowledge on Jinx, it is said to be made from genetically engineered ragweed (although early stories have it ingested in the form of edible seeds). In Ringworld's Children, it is suggested boosterspice may actually be adapted from Tree-of- Life, without the symbiotic virus that enabled hominids to metamorphose from Pak Breeder stage to Pak Protector stage (mutated Pak breeders were the ancestors of both Homo sapiens and the hominids of the Ringworld).

Increased carbon dioxide levels have already and will continue to increase the level of pollen output in the state. In 2001 when carbon dioxide levels were 370 parts per million the pollen output for a common ragweed was twice the level of output that plants used to give out at 270 parts per million, which was the level before the industrial revolution. One possible scenario for the coming years is that pollen count could increase to 20 grams per cubic meter. This would cause a serious increase in the need for medication for allergies and exacerbate the effects of global warming on the economy.

Allergic diseases are strongly familial: identical twins are likely to have the same allergic diseases about 70% of the time; the same allergy occurs about 40% of the time in non-identical twins. Allergic parents are more likely to have allergic children, and those children's allergies are likely to be more severe than those in children of non-allergic parents. Some allergies, however, are not consistent along genealogies; parents who are allergic to peanuts may have children who are allergic to ragweed. It seems that the likelihood of developing allergies is inherited and related to an irregularity in the immune system, but the specific allergen is not.

Common dominant trees used by Indiana bats throughout their range include oaks (Quercus spp.), hickories (Carya spp.), ashes (Fraxinus spp.), elms (Ulmus spp.), eastern cottonwoods (Populus deltoides), locusts (Robinia spp.), and maples (Acer spp.). The understory may include hawthorns (Crataegus spp.), dogwoods (Cornus spp.), fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica), giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida), sedges (Carex spp.), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), wood nettle (Laportea canadensis), goldenrod (Solidago spp.), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and wild grape (Vitis spp.). Indiana bats were found in a variety of plant associations in a southern Iowa study. Riparian areas were dominated by eastern cottonwood, hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), and silver maple (Acer saccharinum).

In a review by James Doussard, the Courier-Journal TV critic said "Dave (Nakdimen) has done one helluva good job". Written, filmed, edited and narrated by Nakdimen, the documentary earned praise for its deft use of humor to illustrate the challenges then facing the revitalization of Louisville. When Mayor Kenneth Schmeid said on camera he didn't "really think Fourth Street looks that bad", Nakdimen had "the camera - mounted in a car - pan down one side and up the other, letting viewers judge for themselves". Nakdimen said of the Urban Renewal efforts in Louisville "...some suggest the program has created a sort of ragweed Ponderosa, particularly in the West Downtown, where acres of land are cleared but undeveloped".

In collaboration with Russell Hynes, Wes Taylor, Frances Leggett, and Claudia Sheedy at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Bailey recently developed a patented bioherbicide to control broadleaved weeds in turfgrass. The indigenous fungus Phoma macrostoma was formulated to control weeds such as dandelion, clover, wild mustard, and ragweed, without harming crops and grasses. It can be applied as a granule to soil before the weeds emerge, which prevents establishment for 1-3 months, or applied post-emergence, which causes affected weeds to turn white and die due to a lack of chlorophyll. Bailey has also been involved in numerous scientific projects in the U.S., Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, India, Switzerland, and Belgium.

They are taught beekeeping but also benefit from the bees' labor, turning it into bottled fresh honey, soaps, lip balms, candles and moisturizers marketed under the beelove product line. More than 500 persons have completed the program, transferring to jobs in manufacturing, food processing, customer service, and hospitality; the repeat-offender rate is reported to be less than 10%. O'Hare has used livestock since 2013 in its Sustainable Vegetation Management initiative to control vegetation in of hard-to-reach areas such as steep banks along a creek on the airport property. A mix of goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas, and even a donkey named Jackson control buckthorn, garlic mustard, ragweed and various other invasive species.

In 2008, Jenkins released Faster Than a Stone, which featured Travis Fite and Stoney LaRue. Jenkins' 2009 album Brothers of the Dirt was a collaboration with many Red Dirt and Texas country scene artists: Cody Canada (Cross Canadian Ragweed), Stoney LaRue, Jason Boland, and Randy Rogers. The record was his first release on the independent label E1 Entertainment/Red Dirt Music Co. The song, "Out of Babylon," sung by Jenkins and Canada, was a tribute to 9/11, while the song, "Innocent Man," is a LaRue and Rogers contribution inspired by the John Grisham novel about Ron Williamson, The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town. The song, "Blood for Oil," was a protest song that focuses on George W. Bush's involvement with Iraq War.

While any plant can be a weed, approximately 250 plant species are sufficiently troublesome, cosmopolitan and economically injurious to warrant targeted research into their biology to assist in their management and control. Examples of some of these troublesome weed species in North America are Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson), common lambsquarter (Chenopodium album L.), horseweed (Erigeron canadensis L.), morningglory (Ipomoea spp.), waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) J. D. Sauer) and common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.). Some weed science researchers provide extension resources for farmers and land managers by trialing a variety of weed control tools and tactics on a specific weed, publishing the results and providing recommendations for their future management. Other researchers may study the biology of weed seeds in order to determine how long weed seeds can remain viable in a soil.

Two of the major allergens in the pollen of short ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) are Amb a I and Amb a II. The primary structure of Amb a II has been deduced and has been shown to share ~65% sequence identity with the Amb a I multigene family of allergens. Members of the Amb a I/a II family include Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum, Common tobacco) pectate lyase, which is similar to the deduced amino acid sequences of two pollen-specific pectate lyase genes identified in Lycopersicon esculentum (Tomato); Cry j I, a major allergenic glycoprotein of Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar)—the most common pollen allergen in Japan; and P56 and P59, which share sequence similarity with pectate lyases of plant pathogenic bacteria. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on polysaccharides.

After the Civil War Wyman became interested in hay fever, which he and members of his family suffered from, and he conducted experiments that convinced him that ragweed was a cause of what he called "Autumnal Cattarh"; gathering data from correspondents, he published the first pollen maps of the United States so that sufferers could plan vacations in low pollen areas. In 1850, Wyman performed the first recorded thoracentesis, later described by Henry Ingersoll Bowditch after performing the procedure on one of Bowditch's patients the same year. Wyman lectured on medical subjects for many years, both at a private medical school which he and his brother Jeffries conducted in Boston and at Harvard, where he served as interim professor of anatomy 1853-1856. He took a special interest in the Harvard Medical School during his terms as a Harvard overseer (1875–1887).

Although Wilco's sound had moved away from country and towards indie rock by the time they released their critically acclaimed album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in 2002, they have continued to be an influence on later alt-country artists. Other acts who became prominent in the alt-country genre during the 1990s and 2000s included the Bottle Rockets, the Handsome Family, Blue Mountain, Robbie Fulks, Blood Oranges, Bright Eyes, Drive-By Truckers, Old 97's, Old Crow Medicine Show, Nickel Creek, Neko Case, and Whiskeytown, whose lead singer Ryan Adams later had a successful solo-career.K. Wolff and O. Duane, eds, Country Music: the Rough Guide (London: Rough Guides, 2000), , pp. 549–92. Alt-country, in various iterations overlapped with other genres, including Red Dirt country music (Cross Canadian Ragweed), jam bands (My Morning Jacket and the String Cheese Incident), and indie folk (the Avett Brothers).

Grissom passed the initial screening in Washington, D.C., and was among the thirty-nine candidates sent to the Lovelace Clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the Aeromedical Laboratory of the Wright Air Development Center in Dayton, Ohio, to undergo extensive physical and psychological testing. He was nearly disqualified when doctors discovered that he suffered from hay fever, but was permitted to continue after he argued that his allergies would not be a problem due to the absence of ragweed pollen in space. On April 13, 1959, Grissom received official notification that he had been selected as one of the seven Project Mercury astronauts. Grissom and the six other men, after taking a leave of absence from their respective branches of the military service, reported to the Special Task Group at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia on April 27, 1959, to begin their astronaut training.

Atopic individuals can have up to ten times the normal level of IgE in their blood (as do sufferers of hyper-IgE syndrome). However, this may not be a requirement for symptoms to occur as has been seen in asthmatics with normal IgE levels in their blood—recent research has shown that IgE production can occur locally in the nasal mucosa. IgE that can specifically recognise an allergen (typically this is a protein, such as dust mite Der p 1, cat Fel d 1, grass or ragweed pollen, etc.) has a unique long-lived interaction with its high-affinity receptor FcεRI so that basophils and mast cells, capable of mediating inflammatory reactions, become "primed", ready to release chemicals like histamine, leukotrienes, and certain interleukins. These chemicals cause many of the symptoms we associate with allergy, such as airway constriction in asthma, local inflammation in eczema, increased mucus secretion in allergic rhinitis, and increased vascular permeability, it is presumed, to allow other immune cells to gain access to tissues, but which can lead to a potentially fatal drop in blood pressure as in anaphylaxis.

During this period he produced Ragweed and Crows (Hunterian, University of Glasgow), among other fine paintings. Dow traveled out of the city, south to Moniaive, for his first allegorical painting The Coming of Spring, and north for his study of birches, In a Wood at Forres , which was bought by Alexander Mann. He had begun a series of commissions, the first being Portrait of John Nairn ( Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery) and writes of working on a likeness in pastels of his sister Mary Lady in Black (private collection). Dow was at this time sharing the Glasgow studio of William York Macgregor and living with Mary and her husband Allan McLean, the lawyer, amateur painter and art collector. It is for the work completed between 1885 and 1895 that Dow is most closely associated with that group of artists who later became known as the Glasgow Boys. Dow is among the 21 Glasgow-based artists whose work is assessed in David Martin's contemporary account entitled The Glasgow School of Painting (George Bell & Sons 1897).

In 1980, the song was used as the title theme of Dennis Hopper's movie Out of the Blue. The song later appeared on Young's Greatest Hits in 2004 and was included at #93 in Bob Mersereau's book The Top 100 Canadian Singles in 2010. Many other bands and singers have recorded covers of the song, including: Oasis (on the album Familiar to Millions in 2000); System of a Down (at the Festival of Hurricane in 2005); Dave Matthews Band; Cross Canadian Ragweed; Battleme (as the closing track of the season 3 finale of Sons of Anarchy); Rick Derringer; Nomeansno (on the FUBAR soundtrack); Mexican rock and roll band El Tri; Finnish glam rock band Negative; Argentine rock band La Renga; Chromatics; Jake Bugg (at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival); Axel Rudi Pell (on his 2014 album Into the Storm); Billy Talent on Covered in Gold 5.0 (2017); Romanian act Fjord (on their 2016 album Textures); Brazilian doom metal band HellLight (on their 2012 covers album The Light That Brought Darkness); and Blixa Bargeld and Teho Teardo (on their 2017 album Fall).

Plastocyanin/azurin family of copper-binding proteins (or blue (type 1) copper domain) is a family of small proteins that bind a single copper atom and that are characterised by an intense electronic absorption band near 600 nm (see copper proteins). The most well-known members of this class of proteins are the plant chloroplastic plastocyanins, which exchange electrons with cytochrome c6, and the distantly related bacterial azurins, which exchange electrons with cytochrome c551. This family of proteins also includes amicyanin from bacteria such as Methylobacterium extorquens or Paracoccus versutus (Thiobacillus versutus) that can grow on methylamine; auracyanins A and B from Chloroflexus aurantiacus; blue copper protein from Alcaligenes faecalis; cupredoxin (CPC) from Cucumis sativus (Cucumber) peelings; cusacyanin (basic blue protein; plantacyanin, CBP) from cucumber; halocyanin from Natronomonas pharaonis (Natronobacterium pharaonis), a membrane- associated copper-binding protein; pseudoazurin from Pseudomonas; rusticyanin from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans; stellacyanin from Rhus vernicifera (Japanese lacquer tree); umecyanin from the roots of Armoracia rusticana (Horseradish); and allergen Ra3 from ragweed. This pollen protein has evolutary relation to the above proteins, but seems to have lost the ability to bind copper.
