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.

, 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

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

Effect of sieving on ex-situ soil respiration of soils from three land use types [PDF]
, 2020 This study aims to investigate the effect of sieving on ex situ soil respiration (CO2 flux) measurements from different land use types. We collected soils (0–10 cm) from arable, grassland and woodland sites, allocated them to either sieved (4-mm mesh ...

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 ...

Intermediate coupling between aboveground and belowground biomass maximises the persistence of grasslands [PDF]
, 2012 Aboveground and belowground biomass compartments of vegetation fulfil different functions and they are coupled by complex interactions. These compartments exchange water, carbon and nutrients and the belowground biomass compartment has the capacity to ...

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 ...

Removing subordinate species in a biodiversity experiment to mimic observational field studies
Grassland Research, 2022 Background Positive effects of plant species richness on community biomass in biodiversity experiments are often stronger than those from observational field studies.
