Complex responses of spring vegetation growth to climate in a moisture-limited alpine meadow. [PDF]

, 2016
Since 2000, the phenology has advanced in some years and at some locations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, whereas it has been delayed in others. To understand the variations in spring vegetation growth in response to climate, we conducted both regional ...

The volatile organic compounds and palatability of mixed ensilage of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) crop residues

Scientific Reports, 2023
With increasing acreage of cash crops, the use of their by-products as supplements for livestock feed becomes an important factor. Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) account for more than half of the world’s loose flower production.
