A set of ecosystem service indicators for European grasslands based on botanical surveys

Grassland Research
Background Grasslands provide a wide range of ecosystem services (ESs). However, there is currently no method for easily diagnosing the level of ESs produced.

Comparing productivity growth in conventional and grassland dairy farms [PDF]

This paper analyzes technical efficiency and productivity growth of dairy farms in southern Germany. We compare the performance of farms operating on permanent grassland and conventional farms using fodder crops from arable land.

The “Magic” of Conflict: How Participatory Governance Can Enable Transformative Climate Adaptation

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many cases, addressing climate risks requires transformative climate adaptation (TCA) that goes beyond small adjustments to existing systems. While scholars increasingly argue that participatory governance is key and should embrace conflict rather than push for consensus to enable TCA, this assumption remains underexplored.

Age‐related changes in root dynamics of a novel perennial grain crop

Grassland Research
Background Standing root biomass stocks are larger in the perennial grain intermediate wheatgrass (IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth and Dewey) than annual spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Can Biodiversity Markets Deliver Inclusive and Collaborative Nature Recovery? Lessons From Different Habitat Banking Models in England

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity markets are increasingly promoted as instruments to close the biodiversity finance gap, yet their implications for social inclusivity and collaborative governance remain poorly understood. England's new Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) policy provides a critical case.

Intake and diet preference of dairy heifers grazing mixed or alternating rows of birdsfoot trefoil and cool‐season grasses

Grassland Research
Background Mixtures with birdsfoot trefoil (BFT) increase herbage intake in grazing cattle. We hypothesized that BFT spatially separated from grasses would increase preferential grazing of BFT and herbage intake compared to grass and BFT in mixed rows ...

Canopy reflectance modeling in a tropical wooded grassland [PDF]

A study area was selected in West Africa in order to establish a relationship between rainfall and grassland productivity, and also to provide ground measurements and support for the GIMMS investigation of the use of AVHRR vegetation index data for ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.
