Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Conservation of forage germplasm with an emphasis on application of tissue culture techniques in a genebank

, 2013
Conservation of germplasm has traditionally relied to a large extent on storage of seeds in genebanks. However, some forage species may take a long time to research maturity and produce seeds or, in the case of grasses, have inadequate production of ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Adoption of No-Tillage Practices, Other Conservation-Tillage Practices and Herbicide-Resistant Cotton Seed, and Their Synergistic Environmental Impacts

If adoption of herbicide-resistant seed and adoption of conservation-tillage practices are determined simultaneously, adoption of herbicide-resistant seed could indirectly reduce soil erosion and adoption of conservation-tillage practices could ...

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.
