The nitrogen dilemma: Toward a novel fertilization management framework for reconciling productivity and diversity in grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Nitrogen fertilization raises grassland productivity but steadily undermines plant diversity. Instead of applying the same rate everywhere every year, the PRISM framework is designed to rotate high‐ and low‐nitrogen paddocks across the farm over time. This spatiotemporal cycling aims to maintain farm‐scale productivity while creating periodic windows ...

Modeling the impacts of grazing management on livestock behavior and performance: A case study in the Peruvian Andes

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Our modeling study shows that livestock management strongly influences grazing behavior and animal performance in the Peruvian Andes. Furthermore, adjusting stocking rates and improving animal distribution can enhance forage intake and body condition while increasing forage biomass.

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...

Pasture feeding improves the fatty acid composition of lamb muscle

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The diet of lambs influences the nutritional quality of their meat. This study showed that pasture‐fed lamb contained significantly higher concentrations of beneficial omega‐3 fatty acids than lamb finished on concentrate diets. These long‐chain omega‐3 fatty acids are associated with improved cardiovascular health and other health benefits.

Genome‐wide identification of the bZIP transcription factor family in sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) and expression profiles in response to aluminum stress

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Sainfoin is an important forage legume with potential for cultivation in stressful environments, but its molecular response to aluminum toxicity remains unclear. This study identified 236 basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor genes in sainfoin and analyzed their evolutionary features and regulatory potential.

Standardized Research Methodology for Akkermansia muciniphila: Multi‐Omics Integration, Functional Evaluation, and Clinical Translation Pathways

Gut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Akkermansia muciniphila has emerged as a leading next‐generation beneficial microbe candidate in gut microbiome research, linked to host metabolic homeostasis, mucosal immune regulation, and intestinal barrier integrity. However, marked methodological heterogeneity in isolation and culture conditions, detection and quantification ...

A Hybrid Fuzzy AHP–Fuzzy TOPSIS and GIS‐Based Framework for Mobile Clinic Location Selection in Conflict Zones: A Case Study From Northern Syria

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Providing healthcare services in conflict‐affected regions like northern Syria is a significant challenge due to ongoing conflict and massive displacement. Mobile clinics offer a flexible solution to meet the urgent healthcare needs of displaced communities.
