Satellite-based monitoring of forage quality in grasslands of the United Kingdom using sentinel-2 data and random forest regression [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionIn the temperate grasslands of the UK, forage quality is a key factor influencing both animal performance and environmental impact. Because forage quality strongly affects rumen fermentation, improving it can reduce enteric methane emissions ...

Linking Leaf Economic Traits With Forage Quality Across Temperate Grasslands Under Ambient and Drought Conditions [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Increases in droughts may disrupt the life‐supporting services of grasslands, including the forage provision for herbivores. However, less is known about drought impacts on forage quality (i.e., dynamics of the cell characteristics of leaves and stems of

Effects of Climate Change and Fencing on Forage Nutrition Quality of Alpine Grasslands in the Northern Tibet

Plants, 2023
How climate change and fencing will affect forage nutrition quality of alpine grasslands is still unknown in the Northern Tibet. Here, we reported the effects of climate change and fencing on forage nutrition quality (i.e., CP: crude protein, ADF: acid ...
