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.

Glacial history affected phenotypic differentiation in the Alpine plant Campanula thyrsoides [PDF]

, 2013
Numerous widespread Alpine plant species show molecular differentiation among populations from distinct regions. This has been explained as the result of genetic drift during glacial survival in isolated refugia along the border of the European Alps ...

Andean grasslands are as productive as tropical cloud forests [PDF]

, 2014
We aim to assess net primary productivity (NPP) and carbon cycling in Andean tropical alpine grasslands (puna) and compare it with NPP of tropical montane cloud forests.

SIVIM Alpine – Database of high-mountain grasslands in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

Vegetation Classification and Survey, 2020
SIVIM Alpine (GIVD ID: EU-00-034) is a thematic database focused on vegetation plots from alpine grasslands of the Iberian Peninsula. The main aim of the database is to centralize historical and new vegetation plots of grassland-like communities above the treeline from Spanish mountains, the Pyrenees (including France and Andorra) and Serra da Estrela (

Responses of Soil Microbial Metabolic Activity and Community Structure to Different Degraded and Restored Grassland Gradients of the Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Climate change and land-use disturbances are supposed to have severely affected the degraded alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau. Artificial grassland establishment has been implemented as a restoration tool against grassland degradation.

New insights into the relationships between livestock grazing behaviors and soil organic carbon stock in an alpine grassland

, 2023
Grazing affects soil carbon (C) storage in grassland ecosystems through livestock trampling, defoliation, and excretion of urine and dung. However, independent effects of those grazing behaviors on soil organic C (SOC) remains unclear, particularly in ...
