Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

How well do CMIP5 climate simulations replicate historical trends and patterns of meteorological droughts? [PDF]

, 2015
Assessing the uncertainties and understanding the deficiencies of climate models are fundamental to developing adaptation strategies. The objective of this study is to understand how well Coupled Model Intercomparison-Phase 5 (CMIP5) climate model ...

Cutting Through the Green: A Case for Grassland Archaeology Using UAV Multispectral Data

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in low‐altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging.

Assessment of drought conditions using HJ-1A/1B data: a case study of Potohar region, Pakistan

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2018
Drought is a natural disaster which causes global damages and affects people. In this work, a comparative study of different drought indices such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Deviation NDVI (DevNDVI), Vegetation Condition Index (VCI)

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Irrigated Acreage in Georgia's Altamaha River Basin During the Drought Year 2000 [PDF]

, 2005
Using a "mixed media" approach, which tracts changes in pixel (color) values over the summer indicating changes from dry land to wet land, we have developed estimates for irrigated acreage in the Altamaha River Basin that draws water from ground water or

Drought influence over radial growth of Mexican conifers inhabiting mesic and xeric sites [PDF]

, 2017
Drought is a major constraint of forest productivity and tree growth across diverse habitat types. In this study, we investigated the drought responses of four conifer species growing within two locations of differing elevation and climatic conditions in

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

The Spatial Coherence of European Droughts – Final Report [PDF]

, 2009
Drought can cause serious problems across much of Europe. Many droughts are localised and short, but others are widespread and cause environmental and social effects that cross international boundaries.

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...
