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.

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 ...

Impacts of fire suppression on above‐ground carbon stock and soil properties in Borana rangelands, southern Ethiopia

Grassland Research, 2023
Background Fire is a natural disturbance that releases carbon back into the atmosphere. Pastoralists have used fire for many thousands of years for rangeland management.

Management of re‐established artificial grasslands via grazing or fencing: Effects on plant and soil properties

Grassland Research, 2023
Background Revegetation is widely used in degraded grassland restoration. However, the responses of grassland plant and soil properties to fencing (FC) and grazing (GZ) remain poorly understood, especially the vegetation–soil coupling coordination (Cd ...

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.

Morphological and productivity responses of Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) ecotypes to simulated grazing in a semi‐arid environment

Grassland Research, 2022
Background Livestock production is an economically significant activity in grassland‐based production systems with herbivory, a critical process in modifying plant structure and regulating biomass dynamics in these areas.

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
