Climate Warming Consistently Reduces Grassland Ecosystem Productivity
Earth's Future, 2021 Future climate may profoundly impact the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, we do not know well how the functioning of different types of grassland ecosystems is associated with variation in temperature and precipitation.

Remote Sensing of Grassland Production and Management - A Review
Remote Sensing, 2020 Grasslands cover one third of the earth’s terrestrial surface and are mainly used for livestock production. The usage type, use intensity and condition of grasslands are often unclear.

Soil carbon sequestration accelerated by restoration of grassland biodiversity
Nature Communications, 2019 Agriculturally degraded and abandoned lands can remove atmospheric CO2 and sequester it as soil organic matter during natural succession. However, this process may be slow, requiring a century or longer to re-attain pre-agricultural soil carbon levels ...

, 2021 Increasing management intensity of grassland through increased grazing intensity, mowing frequency and fertilizer input have attracted more attention to the consequences of grassland management practices on reduced soil quality and grassland yield. Given

Quantifying golf course nitrogen use efficiency
Grassland Research, 2022 Background Previous studies have surveyed golf courses to determine nitrogen (N) fertilizer application rates on golf courses, but no previous studies have attempted to quantify how efficiently golf courses use nitrogen.

Grassland Research, 2023 Background Methane (CH4) oxidation driven by soil aerobic methanotrophs demonstrates the capacity of grassland as a CH4 sink. Methods In this study, we compared the oxidation characteristics of atmospheric‐level and elevated concentration (10%) CH4 in a ...

Grassland Research, 2022 Background Plants compete aboveground for light and belowground for patchily distributed nutrients. Defoliation causes an immediate loss of leaf area and photosynthetic capacity, leading to reduced root growth, with hypothesised implications for nutrient

How profitable is switchgrass in Illinois, USA? An economic definition of marginal land
Grassland Research, 2022 Background Decisions regarding the conversion of land from an existing crop to bioenergy crops are critical for the sustainable production of both food and fuels. This study seeks to establish criteria for delineating land as “economically marginal”, and

Grassland Research, 2022 Background C4 plants have increased substantially during the past several decades in the grasslands of the Mongolian Plateau due to regional warming. Here, we explore how the patterns of abundances of C4 annuals and C4 perennials change over space and ...

Use, calibration and verification of agroecological models for boreal environments: A review
Grassland Research, 2022 Past assessments report negative impacts of the climate crisis in boreal areas; but milder and shorter winters and elevated atmospheric CO2 may provide opportunities for agricultural productivity potentially playing a significant role in future food ...
