The Nutritional Composition and Multi‐Omics Analysis of Raw Milk From Normande and Holstein Cows
Food Frontiers, EarlyView.Normande milk is characterized by high protein and fat content, whereas Holstein milk is distinguished by its high milk yield. However, few studies have reported on their compositional differences. Thus, we used physicochemical and multi‐omics techniques to investigate the compositional differences between Normande and Holstein raw milks. ABSTRACT Milk

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Maize and sorghum‐sudangrass production after alfalfa. Abstract Background This 2‐year study sought to determine the influence of N application rates following alfalfa termination on biomass production and quality of the succeeding crops of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum–sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench × Sorghum sudanense Piper) and quantify ...

Grassland Research, EarlyView.The biomass accumulation of M. ruthenica was significantly improved by enhancing its nitrogen fixation ability. Through response surface methodology, the optimal culture and nutritional conditions were successfully determined. Furthermore, field experiments demonstrated promising application effects in alpine grasslands, highlighting its potential for ...

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.The impact of various restoration strategies on biodiversity and biomass in degraded savannas was evaluated across different elevation gradients. Natural regeneration co‐benefits the increasing in biodiversity and biomass in savannas, while active restoration exhibits altitude‐dependent efficacy and lower biomass accumulation capacity.

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.We discussed the key assumptions of Distance sampling that were considered hard to meet in mountainous terrains and potential solutions for them. Our survey yielded comparable estimates from distance sampling and double‐observer survey, although the confidence interval from distance sampling was broader.
