Organic Matter Quality and Microbial Activity in Soils Managed With Brachiaria Succession
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Although succession systems and brachiaria improve soil quality, gaps remain in microbial community dynamics, activity, and soil organic matter stocks. Methods The objective was to evaluate the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks of soil organic matter fractions and their distribution, molecular characterization, enzyme activity ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

Breeding strategies for forage and grass improvement [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 Grasslands are a major part of the global ecosystem, and make a significant contribution to food security through providing part of the feed requirement of ruminants for meat and milk production. Breeding has the potential to improve the characteristics of grassland species to withstand adverse environmental conditions and to increase their overall ...

JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Fusarium graminearum, one of the causal agents of ear rot in maize and head blight of cereal grains, also infects hemp (Cannabis sativa L. containing a maximum of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol or THC). This fungal pathogen produces trichothecene mycotoxins when it infects maize and cereal grains, but little is known about its production
