Impact of Anthropogenic Pollution on the Plant Species Diversity and Composition Along the Riparian Ecotones of Goa's Sal and Zuari Rivers. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic pressures are increasingly constraining the health of riparian ecosystems by exposing their remnant vegetation to edge effects. Despite being at the land–water interface, conservation efforts have often overlooked how water pollution may indirectly exacerbate the broader impacts of anthropogenic pressures on riparian vegetation ...

Understanding heterogeneity in technology adoption among Indonesian smallholder dairy farmers

Agribusiness, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 347-370, Spring 2023., 2023
Abstract This study aims to understand and profile smallholder farmers' technology adoption status. We collected cross‐sectional data from 600 smallholder dairy farming households in West Java, Indonesia. A Latent class cluster analysis identified two unique clusters of smallholder dairy farmers based on patterns in their adoption status of multiple ...

Leaf gas exchange characteristics, biomass partitioning, and water use efficiencies of two C4 African grasses under simulated drought

Grassland Research, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 37-45, March 2023., 2023
The LI‐6400/XT Portable Photosynthesis System was used to measure leaf gas exchange characteristics of two C4 perennial grasses native to African rangelands, that is, Cenchrus ciliaris (African foxtail grass) and Enteropogon macrostachyus (Bush rye grass), under optimum and drought conditions.

The history of natural history and race: Decolonizing human dimensions of ecology

Ecological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Natural history, loosely defined as the observational study of organisms in the habitats where they occur, is recognized at the roots of ecology. Although the centrality of natural history in ecology has shifted over time, natural history is currently in resurgence: many again consider it to be the foundation of ecological and evolutionary ...

Diet DNA reveals novel African Forest elephant ecology on the grasslands of the Congo Basin

Environmental DNA, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 846-867, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Elephants are essential ecological engineers, creating and maintaining landscape structure and ecosystem function. The recently distinguished and critically endangered forest elephant is currently classified as a selective, non‐destructive frugivorous browser that maintains forest diversity, while the savanna elephant is a mixed feeder, often ...

Nutritional quality evaluation and proteome profile of forage species of Western Himalaya

Grassland Science, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 214-225, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Naturally occurring forage species in the high‐altitude pasturelands of Western Himalaya are traditionally being utilized for feeding of livestock. However, the nutritional quality evaluation and validation of their potential as feed for livestock needs to be undertaken. Here, we evaluated proximate compositions, minerals and amino acids (AAs)
