Assessing the relative importance of managed crops and semi‐natural grasslands as foraging habitats for breeding lesser kestrels Falco naumanni in southeastern Italy

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, Page 1-10, 2021., 2021
Farmland habitats host important populations of several threatened bird species. So far, how to reconcile farmland management with the maintenance of viable populations of these taxa is a major challenge for conservation biology. Southeastern Italy hosts ca 7000 pairs of breeding lesser kestrels Falco naumanni, representing one of the European ...

Phylogenetic lineages and the role of hybridization as driving force of evolution in grass supertribe Poodae

TAXON, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 234-277, April 2020., 2020
Abstract To investigate the evolutionary diversification and morphological evolution of grass supertribe Poodae (subfam. Pooideae, Poaceae) we conducted a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic analysis including representatives from most of its accepted genera.

Plate meter calibrations for forage mass follow a continuum of sward basal density

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 6, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Abstract The ability to quantify forage mass (FM) is needed when budgeting pasture supply. Calibrated sward height is an indirect measure of FM. In a previous study, it was observed that the regression intercept and slope of forage density vs. height (FDint and FDslope, respectively) had a strong linear relation, giving rise to the hypothesis that ...

Grazing and climate interact to regulate greening trends in Mediterranean grasslands

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results show that traditional grazing systems can maintain grassland stability without causing degradation, but they can also increase the ecosystem's vulnerability to climate change. We provide clear evidence that GPS‐based livestock monitoring is a powerful and scalable tool for sustainable rangeland management.

Sod strength and rhizome characteristics of rhizomatous tall fescue

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Tall fescue (TF) [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.] continues to increase in popularity in the northern and transitional climatic zone of the United States because of its superior heat and drought tolerance compared to Kentucky bluegrass (KB) (Poa pratensis L.). However, most turf‐type TF cultivars have a bunch‐type growth habit that

Calibration of Pasture Forage Mass to Plate Meter Compressed Height Is a Second‐Order Response with a Zero Intercept

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 1-3, December 2017., 2017
Core Ideas Forage density has a linear relation to pasture height. The regression of forage density to pasture height is a measure of plant morphology within the sward. Forage mass is the product of forage density and pasture height resulting in a second‐order relation with zero intercept. The form of the second‐order relation of forage mass to pasture
