Parallels and discrepancies between non‐native species introductions and human migration

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1365-1395, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio‐economic drivers and environmental factors that have enhanced cultural, economic, and geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the movement, establishment, and spread of species, yet unfold within fundamentally different philosophical, social and biological ...

Soil carbon sequestration potential in subtropical grasslands estimated by DayCent‐CABBI

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Soil carbon (C) sequestration by restoring degraded grasslands with adequate management practices offers significant opportunities for climate change mitigation while remaining highly uncertain. In this study, a combination of a biogeochemical model DayCent‐CABBI and eddy covariance (EC) flux towers was applied to evaluate soil C sequestration

Stoichiometric ratios in the soil of native and forage areas in a seasonally dry tropical forest

Agro@mbiente On-line, 2020
The availability of potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the soil affects the nutrition and productivity of the plant cover. The Ca:Mg, Ca:K and Mg:K stoichiometric ratios indicate the nutrient load balance in the soil.

Non‐native invasive plants in tropical dry forests: a global review of presence, impacts, and management

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2025.
Tropical dry forests (TDF) are among the most‐threatened terrestrial ecosystems, experiencing ongoing conversion to agricultural fields, pasture, and human settlements. Human disturbances are often precursors to invasion of ecosystems by non‐native species, but research on invasion patterns in tropical ecosystems is sparse, and there is no ...

Morphophysiology of buffel grass grown under different water supplies in the dry and dry-rainy seasons

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
The lack of information on the growth of forage grasses in semi-arid environment, especially from the perspective of irrigation, is one of the obstacles to regular forage supply, as well as to the rational use of irrigation water. The objective with this

Effects of Seed Rate and Harvesting Stage on Nutrient Composition and the Dry Matter Yield of Setaria pumila Grass Under Rain‐Fed Conditions in Debre Markos, Ethiopia

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The low productivity of livestock in Ethiopia seems to originate from the poor quality and quantity of feed. One of the options to solve the problem of food scarcity and increase livestock productivity could be to select and evaluate the naturally available grass species in natural pasture grasslands and introduce them into different forage production ...

UAVs and Machine Learning Revolutionising Invasive Grass and Vegetation Surveys in Remote Arid Lands

Sensors, 2018
The monitoring of invasive grasses and vegetation in remote areas is challenging, costly, and on the ground sometimes dangerous. Satellite and manned aircraft surveys can assist but their use may be limited due to the ground sampling resolution or cloud ...

EFEITOS DA FERTILIZAÇÃO COM NITROGÊNIO SOBRE A PRODUÇÃO E EFICIÊNCIA DO USO DA ÁGUA EM CAPIM BUFFEL

Revista Caatinga, 2008
The effects of five levels of nitrogen (N) fertilization (0; 60; 120; 240 and 480 kg of N/ha) upon Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris, L.) performance were evaluated. A completely random design with three replicates was used.
