Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Climate factors drive the local adaptation of Old World cattle

iMeta, EarlyView.
Climate adaptation genomics of cattle. We comparatively analyzed genomic data from 85 Old World cattle breeds/populations of Eurasia and Africa to identify genetic factors associated with climate factors. Environmental genome‐wide association studies revealed 3165 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with strong correlations between climate factors ...

Farmer‐Led Strategies for Water Conservation in the Urmia Lake Basin, Iran

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the urgent issues of water scarcity and limited farmer livelihoods in the Urmia Lake basin. To address these challenges, we apply the Governance, Autonomy, Integration, and Needs orientation (GAIN) methodology. Our participatory approach revealed that farmers prioritised actionable measures for water management, yield ...
