A review of grass species yields and growth rates in Northland, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1440-1463, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pastoral farming is a major land use in New Zealand's Northland region, with 3,171 farm holdings and a total area of 637,500 hectares in 2022. The region's pasture grasses include temperate (C3) and subtropical and tropical (C4) grasses which support dairy, and sheep and beef production from grazing.

Weeping lovegrass yield with restricted irrigation : northern Mendoza oasis (Argentina) [PDF]

, 2004
Ante la realidad de la cada vez más aguda escasez de agua en el oasis norte mendocino durante la primavera, que dificulta el manejo racional de los cultivos existentes, surge la necesidad -en el ámbito de la producción forrajera- de una especie de ...

Herbivory mediates the response of below‐ground food webs to invasive grasses

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 2103-2117, October 2025.
This study investigates for the first time experimentally and in the field the interplay between plant invasion and herbivores of different guilds, shedding light on a complex network of below‐ground interactions and providing precious insights to land managers.

Why Conservation of Australian Native Temperate Grasslands Needs to Occur at Different Scales—From Landscapes to Patches, and From Governments to Individuals

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Native temperate grasslands are among the most widespread biomes in Australia, and they have been extensively modified, primarily for livestock grazing and cropping on the fertile soils ideal for agriculture. In the 1980s and 1990s, foundational work by Jamie Kirkpatrick and others brought attention to the widespread loss of these ecosystems ...

Traits Associated With Local Extinctions of Native Plants in a Species‐Rich Urban Reserve

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 3, July/September 2025.
A comprehensive resurvey of an urban reserve in Sydney failed to redetect 29% of native vascular plant species recorded from 1976 to 1992. Compared with persistent species, locally extinct species were shorter on average and more likely to have a graminoid habit and be water‐associated.

More Resistant Than Resilient: Effect of 15 Years Conservation Management on Ground‐Layer Vegetation Composition in Temperate Woodland and Forest

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 6, June 2025.
Monitoring a transition from commercial livestock to macropod grazing over 15 years revealed increases in some native life forms and species of conservation significance, while the established native perennial vegetation was resistant to change in the face of severe drought and extremes of rainfall.

Harnessing eDNA Metabarcoding to Monitor Species Diversity in Restoration Sites: Insights From Laikipia, Kenya

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
The restoration of terrestrial ecosystems in Arid and Semi‐arid Lands (ASALs) has gained momentum through initiatives like the Bonn Challenge and Kenya's Forest and Landscape Restoration Implementation Plan (FOLAREP). This study piloted soil environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to assess biodiversity in restored areas of Lower Naibunga Community ...

A Logistic Regression Model for the Prediction of Vegetation Recruitment in the Kinu River, Japan

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 786-796, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Vegetation overgrowth in rivers worldwide is a considerable problem because it can potentially reduce the flood‐flowing capacity and cause biodiversity loss. In this study, we developed a model to predict vegetation recruitment during the initial stages of secondary succession, which leads to vegetation overgrowth.
