Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Effectiveness of integrated shrub management and restoration techniques for rehabilitating shrub‐encroached rangelands of South Africa

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Herbaceous plant recovery following shrub clearing and reseeding in the rangelands of Peddie, Eastern Cape of South Africa. CTL, control; CO, cutting only; CR, cutting and reseeding; UPO, uprooting only; UPR, uprooting and reseeding. Abstract Background Shrub encroachment (SE) drives rangeland degradation, threatening biodiversity and forage ...

First Confirmed Cooperative Breeding of the Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni) in China at the Sino–Lao Frontier 中国中老边境尚勇保护区首次记录白喉犀鸟 (Anorrhinus austeni) 的合作繁殖行为

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
First confirmed breeding of the Brown Hornbill in China, documented through cooperative feeding in Shangyong Protected Area. ABSTRACT The Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni), a Near Threatened frugivore, reaches the northern edge of its distribution in southern Yunnan, China, yet breeding had not been previously documented with site‐attributed nests in

Functional Stability Despite Taxonomic Changes in Mixed‐Species Foraging Flock Participants Along an Elevational Gradient in Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka 斯里兰卡纳克斯山地保护区 (Knuckles Montane Reserve) 海拔梯度上混合物种觅食群参与者的功能稳定性与分类变化

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...

Life Stage‐Specific Genetic Diversity and Landscape Characteristics Collectively Influence Genetic Recovery in Pometia pinnata Population 生活史阶段特异的遗传多样性与景观特征对番龙眼种群遗传恢复的协同影响

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Pometia pinnata demonstrated life‐stage‐specific genetic responses to landscape features, with asymmetric gene flow patterns and population recovery following historical bottlenecks, revealing complex topographic and demographic influences on forest genetic structure.

Urbanization and Seasonality Increase Introduced Plant Consumption by the World's Southernmost Parrot 城市化与季节性增加了全球最南端鹦鹉对引入植物的取食

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Urbanization may alter bird foraging. Austral Parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) in Patagonia rely on introduced plants in urban areas, especially in winter, despite preferring natives in the wild. This seasonal reliance on introduced species highlights urbanization trade‐offs and underscores the need to manage green areas with native plants to ...

Canopy and Irrigation Management Effects on Grape Acidity

open access: yes, 2022
Grapes harvested in warm climates like eastern Washington often have lower amounts of acid than grapes harvested in cooler climates. Acidity plays a central sensory role especially in white wines due to their lack of tannins. Low acid wines with high pH are also more susceptible to microbial spoilage.

Mango canopy management: new approaches to old issues

open access: yesActa Horticulturae, 2017
The mango tree is a large tropical tree that often gives low and irregular yields across consecutive years. Research on canopy management has been a cornerstone to lessen, but not resolve, these problems. Mango production now faces new commercial and societal demands besides higher yields: better fruit quality, in particular sanitary and nutritional ...

Sun Bear Ecology and Conservation: Multiscale Habitat Associations in Southeast Asia 马来熊的生态与保护:东南亚地区的多尺度生境关联研究

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
We collated detections of the sun bear from new and previously published camera trap studies across its range. We then analysed these detections at two different spatial scales to assess the habitat associations and diel activity of this species. We found that the sun bear is tolerant to moderate habitat disturbances. ABSTRACT Degraded tropical forests,
