The effect of awns on seed yield and germination characteristics in Elymus nutans Griseb.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The effect of awns on seed yield. Three‐year field trials demonstrated that awns significantly regulate seed yield components and germination characteristics of Elymus nutans Griseb, laying a theoretical foundation for the breeding of high‐yielding forage varieties and seed production.

Variation in Soil Aggregate Stability Due to Land Use Changes from Alpine Grassland in a High-Altitude Watershed

Land, 2023
Land use change affects soil aggregate composition and stability, which impacts soil structure and health. To reveal how land use change impacted soil aggregates of alpine grassland in a high-altitude watershed, soil samples from 161 sites including ...

The ecological effects of slope and aspect in chalk grassland [PDF]

, 2003
The microclimate of plants growing close to the ground is strongly influenced by the orientation of a soil/vegetation surface with respect to the sun's rays (slope and aspect).

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Beyond grassland degradation: Pathways to resilience for pastoralist households in alpine grassland ecosystems

Journal of Environmental Management
Sustaining the development of rural and pastoral communities' hinges on livelihood resilience. Pastoralist household resilience relies on resource availability and decision-making abilities. Despite extensive studies on pastoralist livelihoods, a significant knowledge gap remains in understanding the nuanced adaptive capacities of diverse households ...

Do roads lead to grassland degradation or restoration? A case study in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]

, 2011
We use satellite remote sensing data of grassland cover in Inner Mongolia, China to test whether the existence of and the size of roads in 1995 is associated with the nature of the grassland in 2000 and/or if it affects the rate of change of the ...

Deciphering transcriptome complexity via long‐read sequencing

iMeta, EarlyView.
Long‐read sequencing is transforming transcriptomics from gene‐level quantification to isoform‐resolved interpretation by directly resolving full‐length transcript structures, transcription in repetitive regions, and linked molecular features. This review provides an end‐to‐end roadmap covering sequencing platforms, library preparation strategies ...
