Soil nematode communities in grasslands [PDF]

, 2007
This thesis summarizes the results of five studies investigating the effect of plant species on soil nematode communities in grasslands. Nematodes (roundworms) are ubiquitous members of the soil fauna and have been much used as indicators of soil ...

Vegetation response to extreme climate events on the Mongolian Plateau from 2000 to 2010 [PDF]

, 2013
Climate change has led to more frequent extreme winters (aka, dzud) and summer droughts on the Mongolian Plateau during the last decade. Among these events, the 2000–2002 combined summer drought–dzud and 2010 dzud were the most severe on vegetation.

Grassland Habitats

, 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.

Trichoderma Biofertilizer Links to Altered Soil Chemistry, Altered Microbial Communities, and Improved Grassland Biomass

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
In grasslands, forage and livestock production results in soil nutrient deficits as grasslands typically receive no nutrient inputs, leading to a loss of grassland biomass.

Locating Traces of Arboreal Beings: Connecting the Tree and the Woodblock

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Woodblocks for printmaking are multi‐perspectival communicators inscribed with layered narratives. The artistic process of cutting excavates the surface of a woodblock, making visible lesser‐seen traces of the past, reflective of the practice of archaeology.

Maize silage for dairy cows: mitigation of methane emissions can be offset bij and use change [PDF]

, 2006
Increasing the digestibility of cattle rations by feeding grains and whole plant silages from maize have been identified as effective options to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The effect of ploughing grassland for maize crops have not been taken into
