Productivity and forage quality of a phytodiverse semi-natural grassland under various management regimes [PDF]

, 2011
Grassland management experiment (GrassMan) was set up in 2008 on a permanent semi-natural grassland in the Solling uplands, Germany. The main research focus is on the ecosystem functioning of the phytodiverse grassland (e.g.

Divergent accumulation of microbial necromass and plant lignin components in grassland soils

Nature Communications, 2018
The means through which microbes and plants contribute to soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation remain elusive due to challenges in disentangling the complex components of SOC.

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.

Divergent drivers of the microbial methane sink in temperate forest and grassland soils

Global Change Biology, 2020
Aerated topsoils are important sinks for atmospheric methane (CH4) via oxidation by CH4‐oxidizing bacteria (MOB). However, intensified management of grasslands and forests may reduce the CH4 sink capacity of soils.

On‐Chip Multiplexed Voltammetry Using a Universal Antifouling Hydrogel and Porous Gold Foam Interface for Stress and Inflammation Monitoring

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A multiplexed device is fabricated via silicon microelectronics and adapted for electrochemical sensing interface. Its 100 um gold disk electrodes are modified with porous gold foam and coated with a rapid, biocompatibleantifouling layer. Universal immunoglobulin G (IgG) capture is enabled through Protein A/G.

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

Abiotic Factors and Plant Communities Shape the Distribution of Soil Pathogenic Oomycetes in Chinese Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The continental‐scale study reveals that soil phosphorus strongly predicts the richness of soil pathogenic oomycetes in Chinese grasslands, while precipitation and plant species richness drive their absolute abundance; modeling predicts ≈42% of grassland areas may face elevated oomycete disease risk under future climate scenarios, especially in typical

Method and timing of grassland renovation affects herbage yield, nitrate leaching, and nitrous oxide emission in intensively managed grasslands [PDF]

, 2010
Managed grasslands are occasionally ploughed up and reseeded in order to maintain or increase the sward productivity. It has been reported that this renovation of grassland is associated with a flush of soil organic nitrogen (N) mineralization and with a

Bio‐Inspired Strategy for Radiation‐Based Thermal Management and Utilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biological organisms have evolved remarkable strategies to manage and exploit thermal radiation. This review explores bio‐inspired systems that mimic these adaptations—such as radiative cooling, thermal regulation, thermal insulation, water harvesting, infrared camouflage, and infrared detection—and highlights their application in thermal management ...
