An online survey of farmers' perspectives on the adoption of multispecies swards: Barriers, benefits and knowledge gaps

open access: yesGrassland Research
Background This study used an online survey to explore the perspectives, practices and knowledge gaps of Irish farmers regarding the adoption of multispecies swards (MSS), a sustainable alternative to traditional monoculture grassland systems.

An Annotated Checklist of Scarab Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) from Northeastern Iowa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A survey of scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) was conducted during 2009 in the geographically distinct area of Winneshiek and Allamakee counties in extreme Northeast Iowa. Four plant communities distributed among 10 locations, including tallgrass

A Multisensor Remote Sensing Approach to Archaeological Prospection: Integrating UAV and Google Earth Data in the Bayan Gol Valley, Mongolia

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the effectiveness of drone‐based remote sensing and Google Earth satellite imagery for archaeological prospection in the Bayan Gol Valley, Central Mongolia. Utilizing a fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with RGB and multispectral sensors, we surveyed 655 ha to document Mongol‐period settlement structures

Exacerbated grassland degradation and desertification in Central Asia during 2000-2014.

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2018
Grassland degradation and desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness dynamics). Existing studies hardly separated the two components and analyzed it

Cutting Through the Green: A Case for Grassland Archaeology Using UAV Multispectral Data

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in low‐altitude remote sensing are needed to improve the effectiveness of archaeological prospection in the Netherlands. The geomorphological situation and land use history make applying various remote sensing and geophysical technologies particularly challenging.

Niches, rather than neutrality, structure a grassland pioneer guild [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Pioneer species are fast-growing, short-lived gap exploiters. They are prime candidates for neutral dynamics because they contain ecologically similar species whose low adult density is likely to cause widespread recruitment limitation, which slows ...

The Grassland–Shrubland Regime Shift in the Southwestern United States: Misconceptions and Their Implications for Management

open access: yesBioScience, 2018
Transitions from semiarid grassland to shrubland states are among the most widely recognized examples of regime shifts in terrestrial ecosystems. Nonetheless, the processes causing grassland–shrubland transitions and their consequences are incompletely ...
