Elevated and atmospheric‐level methane consumption by soil methanotrophs of three grasslands in China

Grassland Research, 2023
Background Methane (CH4) oxidation driven by soil aerobic methanotrophs demonstrates the capacity of grassland as a CH4 sink. Methods In this study, we compared the oxidation characteristics of atmospheric‐level and elevated concentration (10%) CH4 in a ...

Quantifying golf course nitrogen use efficiency

Grassland Research, 2022
Background Previous studies have surveyed golf courses to determine nitrogen (N) fertilizer application rates on golf courses, but no previous studies have attempted to quantify how efficiently golf courses use nitrogen.

Defoliation affects the root competitive balance for N between Poa annua plants grown in a split‐root box

Grassland Research, 2022
Background Plants compete aboveground for light and belowground for patchily distributed nutrients. Defoliation causes an immediate loss of leaf area and photosynthetic capacity, leading to reduced root growth, with hypothesised implications for nutrient

How profitable is switchgrass in Illinois, USA? An economic definition of marginal land

Grassland Research, 2022
Background Decisions regarding the conversion of land from an existing crop to bioenergy crops are critical for the sustainable production of both food and fuels. This study seeks to establish criteria for delineating land as “economically marginal”, and

Climate and anthropogenic drivers of changes in abundance of C4 annuals and perennials in grasslands on the Mongolian Plateau

Grassland Research, 2022
Background C4 plants have increased substantially during the past several decades in the grasslands of the Mongolian Plateau due to regional warming. Here, we explore how the patterns of abundances of C4 annuals and C4 perennials change over space and ...

Use, calibration and verification of agroecological models for boreal environments: A review

Grassland Research, 2022
Past assessments report negative impacts of the climate crisis in boreal areas; but milder and shorter winters and elevated atmospheric CO2 may provide opportunities for agricultural productivity potentially playing a significant role in future food ...

Removing subordinate species in a biodiversity experiment to mimic observational field studies

Grassland Research, 2022
Background Positive effects of plant species richness on community biomass in biodiversity experiments are often stronger than those from observational field studies.

Agronomic assessment of two populations of intermediate wheatgrass—Kernza® (Thinopyrum intermedium) in temperate South America

Grassland Research, 2022
Background Kernza® intermediate wheatgrass is a perennial grain and forage crop that can provide several ecosystem services. Major research efforts focused on Kernza have taken place in high latitudes.
