Forage Biomass and Chemical Composition of Buffelgrass Genotypes in the Semi‐Arid Region of Brazil
Forage improvement in semi‐arid regions requires the identification of genotypes capable of maintaining productivity under climatic variability and chronic water scarcity. This study evaluated six buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) genotypes over two production years in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, to characterize their agronomic, morphological, and ...

The challenges of rehabilitating denuded patches of a semi-arid environment in Kenya
Land degradation is a major problem in the semi-arid environments of Sub-Saharan Africa. Fighting land degradation is essential to ensure the sustainable and long-term productivity of the habited semiarid lands.

ABSTRACT Aim Grasses comprise three main photosynthetic pathway variants (C3‐BOP, C3‐PACMAD and C4‐PACMAD hereafter referred to as C4). We sought to confirm climate niche differences among these photosynthetic pathway variants and assessed whether predicted non‐native grass range shift patterns with climate change differ among photosynthetic pathway ...

Distribución potencial del zacate buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) especie invasora en el Noreste de México [PDF]
"Una de las principales causas de pérdida de biodiversidad son las especies invasoras, dentro de ellas las gramíneas (Poaceae) que representan uno de los grupos con mayor número de especies catalogada como invasoras. El zacate buffel (Cenchrus ciliaris L.

ABSTRACT In Brazil, the semi‐arid region has undergone significant degradation due to deforestation for agriculture, livestock and the use of firewood. In this context, nature‐based solutions (NbS) that prioritize environmental sustainability in semi‐arid regions are crucial.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Leaf expansion and leaf turnover of perennial C4 grasses growing at moderately low temperatures
Understanding the mechanisms by which some C4 grasses grow more than others at moderately low temperatures (~12-20ºC) is valuable to select materials to lengthen the growing season.

Abstract As the global protected area (PA) network expands to meet international targets, it is important to assess whether traditional reliance on public land will suffice for projected PA growth or whether other tenures, such as Indigenous or pastoral lands, may increasingly contribute.
