Grassland ResearchBackground Plant phyllosphere microbes are important for the host plant's protection. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Trichoderma are common biocontrol agents (BCAs) for disease management.

Edge fires drive the shape and stability of tropical forests [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In tropical regions, fires propagate readily in grasslands but typically consume only edges of forest patches. Thus forest patches grow due to tree propagation and shrink by fires in surrounding grasslands. The interplay between these competing edge effects is unknown, but critical in determining the shape and stability of individual forest patches, as

Grassland ResearchForage plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) has emerged as a valuable agronomic species within grazing systems in New Zealand. The release of two cultivars in New Zealand in the mid‐1990s led to on‐farm use and research.

Modelling trade offs between public and private conservation policies [PDF]
, 2010 To reduce global biodiversity loss, there is an urgent need to determine the most efficient allocation of conservation resources. Recently, there has been a growing trend for many governments to supplement public ownership and management of reserves with incentive programs for conservation on private land.

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.This study presents a subgenome‐resolved telomere‐to‐telomere reference genome of Capsella bursa‐pastoris, named Cbp_T2T, constructed using PacBio HiFi reads, Nanopore ultra‐long reads, and Hi‐C data. Notable divergences were observed between its subgenomes, and comparative genomics identified two large inversions within the species.

Strong interaction between plants induces circular barren patches: fairy circles [PDF]
, 2013 Vast landscapes extending from southern Angola, Namibia, and South Africa exhibit localised barren patches of vegetation called fairy circles. They consist of isolated or randomly distributed circular areas devoid of any vegetation. They are surrounded by fringes of tall grasses and are embedded in a sparse grassland on sandy soils.

Influence of climate variability on the potential forage production of a mown permanent grassland in the French Massif Central [PDF]
Gomara I, Bellocchi G, Martin R, Rodriguez-Fonseca B, Ruiz-Ramos M
(2020) Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 280, 107768Climate Services (CS) provide support to decision makers across socio-economic sectors. In the agricultural sector, one of the most important CS applications is to provide timely and accurate yield forecasts based on climate prediction. In this study, the Pasture Simulation model (PaSim) was used to simulate, for the period 1959-2015, the forage ...

Cytometry Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human accuracy in identifying ordinary objects, but it is still challenging for AI to be competitive in pollen grain identification. One reason for this gap is the extensive trait variation in pollen grains.

, 2009 Publisher Summary This chapter discusses grassland habitats for insects. Plant and insect communities of grasslands greatly differ depending on climate, soil type, and management practices. Some marked differences are apparent between the plant – insect communities of temperate and tropical habitats.
