Assessment of the diet of the critically endangered northern hairy‐nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii) using DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Invasive buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) is considered a threat to the critically endangered northern hairy‐nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus krefftii; NHW). Buffel grass outcompetes native grasses, reducing availability of native food items for NHW, and causes

Growth Performance and Plasma Metabolites of Grazing Beef Cattle Backgrounded on Buffel or Buffel-Desmanthus Mixed Pastures [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Dietary crude protein and dry matter digestibility are among the major factors limiting feed intake and weight gain of cattle grazing native and improved pastures in the subtropics of Northern Australia during the dry season.

Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

Transcriptomic Insights: Phytogenic Modulation of Buffel Grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) Seedling Emergence [PDF]
PlantsThis study explores the impact of a novel phytogenic product containing citric acid, carvacrol, and cinnamaldehyde on buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) seedling emergence. A dilution series of the phytogenic solution revealed a concentration range that promoted seedling emergence, with an optimal concentration of 0.5%.

Morphogenetic, structural and productive traits of buffel grass under different irrigation regimes
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2015 The water restriction conditions in the Brazilian semiarid region are one of the most limiting factors to the establishment and yield of forage grasses. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation regimes on morphogenetic, structural ...

Concentrate levels for lambs grazing on buffel grass [PDF]
Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2011 Use of concentrate for lambs grazing buffel grass may improve animal performance and animal traits. The objective of the present trial was to evaluate the final body weight, average daily gain, total weight gain and carcass traits (cold and hot carcass weights, cold and hot dressing percentages) of lambs grazing buffel grass and receiving different ...
