Breeding for drought tolerance in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum [Schreb.] Darbysh.) by exploring genotype by environment by management interactions

Grassland Research, 2023
Background Drought‐tolerant turfgrass cultivars are becoming more important each year as landscape irrigation practices are becoming more restrictive. Methods In this study, we quantified the level of drought tolerance (DT) in perennial ryegrass and tall

GRASSLAND MANAGEMENT AND CONVERSION INTO GRASSLAND: EFFECTS ON SOIL CARBON [PDF]

Ecological Applications, 2001
Grasslands are heavily relied upon for food and forage production. A key component for sustaining production in grassland ecosystems is the maintenance of soil organic matter (SOM), which can be strongly influenced by management. Many management techniques intended to increase forage production may potentially increase SOM, thus sequestering ...

Spatio‐temporal changes in chimpanzee density and abundance in the Greater Mahale Ecosystem, Tanzania

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Species conservation and management require reliable information about animal distribution and population size. Better management actions within a species' range can be achieved by identifying the location and timing of population changes. In the Greater Mahale Ecosystem (GME), western Tanzania, deforestation due to the expansion of human ...

Genomic prediction of seasonal forage yield in perennial ryegrass

Grassland Research, 2023
Background Genomic selection has the potential to accelerate genetic gain in perennial ryegrass breeding, provided complex traits such as forage yield can be predicted with sufficient accuracy.

Arachis species: High‐quality forage crops—nutritional properties and breeding strategies to expand their utilization and feeding value

Grassland Research, 2023
Plants of the genus Arachis originated from South America and are cultivated worldwide. The genus Arachis contains 83 species and nine intrageneric taxonomic sections. The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) belongs to the Arachis section, the forage

Explainable AI in Grassland Monitoring: Enhancing Model Performance and Domain Adaptability [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Grasslands are known for their high biodiversity and ability to provide multiple ecosystem services. Challenges in automating the identification of indicator plants are key obstacles to large-scale grassland monitoring. These challenges stem from the scarcity of extensive datasets, the distributional shifts between generic and grassland-specific ...

Functional traits and their plasticity shift from tolerant to avoidant under extreme drought

Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Under climate change, extreme droughts will limit water availability for plants. However, the species‐specific responses make it difficult to draw general conclusions. We hypothesized that changes in species' abundance in response to extreme drought can be best explained by a set of water economic traits under ambient conditions in combination

Horseshoe Priors for Time-Varying AR and GARCH Processes [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Grassland ecosystems support a wide range of species and provide key services including food production, carbon storage, biodiversity support, and flood mitigation. However, yield stability in these grassland systems is not yet well understood, with recent evidence suggesting water stress throughout summer and warmer temperatures in late summer reduce ...

Analytical and Numerical Bifurcation Analysis of a Forest-Grassland Ecosystem Model with Human Interaction [PDF]

ESAIM-Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, 55, S653-S675, 2021, 2019
We perform both analytical and numerical bifurcation analysis of a forest-grassland ecosystem model coupled with human interaction. The model consists of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations incorporating the human perception of forest/grassland value.
