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

Grassland 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.

Selection for persistence of endophyte‐free meadow fescue under intensive grazing versus frequent mowing

Grassland Research
Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P.Beauv.) is highly adapted to managed rotational grazing systems with sufficient rest periods to promote regrowth and sward longevity.

Biodiversity as a Dominant Force in Shaping Ethnic Music Styles 生物多样性:塑造民族音乐风格的主导力量

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Our findings show that plant, bird, and mammal diversity considerably shape musical features such as vocal range and ornamental sounds, more so than geography or lifestyle. Our study provides the first empirical evidence linking biodiversity to ethnic music styles. Protecting biodiversity, the musical and cultural will be protected.

Seasonal Spatial Population Density Distribution Dynamics of Lynx and Ungulate Prey in Cold‐Temperate Coniferous Forests 寒温带针叶林猞猁和有蹄类猎物种群密度空间分布的季节性动态研究

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study used camera trap data from 6 years between 2016 and 2021 and generalized linear mixed models to explore the factors that influence the spatial density distribution of lynx and its prey populations in warm and cold seasons in Inner Mongolia Hanma National Nature Reserve, China.

Long‐Term Variability and Spatial Differentiation of the Frost‐Free Period in Iceland

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Warming in Iceland (May–September) is expressed as fewer Tmin < 0°C days in the interior and more Tmin > 0°C days along the coasts. ABSTRACT Climate change in subarctic regions leads to significant transformations in thermal conditions; however, the long‐term variability of the frost‐free season (FFS)—and consequently, the growing period—remains poorly

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention

Yield‐Dependent Allocation Functions Overestimate Root‐Derived Carbon Inputs in Wheat and Maize

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root‐derived carbon (C) inputs for wheat and maize were estimated using the yield‐based allocation functions of Bolinder et al. and Jacobs et al. Comparison with measured root C showed systematic overestimation that becomes larger as predicted C increases.
