Drying of meadow fescue seeds of different moisture contents: Changes in dormancy and germination
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2013 In the past few years in Europe grass seed production declines. This tendency is especially pronounced in meadow fescue. Seed shedding and therefore yield losses are the problem in seed production.

, 2018 This chapter for the Routledge Handbook of Food and Landscape (2018) addresses the place of one of the oldest human landscape practices – foraging – in a world where the business of nourishment and the lands that produce foodstuffs continue to be developed on relentlessly industrial lines. Arguing that foraging, agriculture and hunting are, in practice,

Taro leaf and stylo forage as protein sources for pigs in Laos [PDF]
, 2012 Existing forage plants may have applications as alternative protein resources for pigs in smallholder farming systems. This thesis examined the effect of harvesting/defoliation interval on the yield and chemical composition of taro leaves and stylo ...

Collective foraging in heterogeneous landscapes [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Animals foraging alone are hypothesized to optimize the encounter rates with resources through L\'evy walks. However, the issue of how the interactions between multiple foragers influence their search efficiency is still not completely understood. To address this, we consider a model to study the optimal strategy for a group of foragers searching for ...

Jellyfish, Forage Fish, and the World’s Major Fisheries
, 2014 A majority of the world’s largest net-based fisheries target planktivorous forage fish that serve as a critical trophic link between the plankton and upper-level consumers such as large predatory fishes, seabirds, and marine mammals. Because the plankton
