Breeding of comb-wheatgrass (Agropyron pectiniforme Roem. et Schult.) for arid conditions of the steppe zone [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 In the context of the progressive trend of climate aridization of the main agricultural regions in the forest-steppe and steppe zones, the problem of increasing and stabilizing the high productivity of forage crops is becoming more acute.

A global meta-analysis of the effects of plant diversity on biomass partitioning in grasslands
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 The partitioning of belowground biomass (BGB) to aboveground biomass (AGB) is commonly described as the root-to-shoot ratio (R/S). Although a number of studies have shown that biodiversity can influence AGB and BGB in grasslands at the local and global ...

Seasonal facilitative and competitive trade‐offs between shrub seedlings and coastal grasses [PDF]
, 2020 Shrub expansion is occurring in grasslands globally and may be impacted by the balance of competition and facilitation with existing grasses. Along the mid‐Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the native shrub Morella cerifera (wax myrtle) is rapidly expanding and ...

Revegetation by sowing reduces soil bacterial and fungal diversity
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Aim The aim of this study was to understand the effects of revegetation on the diversity of bacteria and fungi in soil by sowing a single species and exploring the underlying mechanism. Location Beijing, China. Taxon Plants and Microbes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 For the most part, studies of grass genome structure have been limited to the generation of whole-genome genetic maps or the fine structure and sequence analysis of single genes or gene clusters. We have investigated large contiguous segments of the genomes of maize, sorghum, and rice, primarily focusing on intergenic spaces.

Forage herbs improve mineral composition of grassland herbage [PDF]
, 2011 Provision of an adequate mineral supply in the diets of ruminants fed mainly on grassland herbage can present a challenge if mineral concentrations are suboptimal for animal nutrition.

Negative impacts of plant diversity loss on carbon sequestration exacerbate over time in grasslands
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Positive relationships between plant species diversity and carbon attributes have been observed in grasslands, but synthesis studies of how plant diversity affects the carbon balance of grasslands and how the response ratio changes over time both remain ...

Experimental demonstration of the antiherbivore effects of silica in grasses: impacts on foliage digestibility and vole growth rates [PDF]
, 2006 The impact of plant-based factors on the population dynamics of mammalian herbivores has been the subject of much debate in ecology, but the role of antiherbivore defences in grasses has received relatively little attention.
