Grazing-induced biodiversity loss impairs grassland ecosystem stability at multiple scales.
Ecology Letters, 2020 Livestock grazing is a major driver shaping grassland biodiversity, functioning and stability. Whether grazing impacts on grassland ecosystems are scale-dependent remains unclear.

Crop insurance and irrigation behavior: The conditional role of pumping costs
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Excessive water use for irrigation can accelerate the depletion of water resources, undermining agriculture's resilience to weather‐related shocks. Understanding how farmers make water use decisions is essential for developing effective water management policies.

Fructan biosynthesis gene expression upon cold acclimation in orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.)
Grassland ResearchBackground Fructan content and flux in temperate forages can benefit the grasses through increased cold hardiness, increased drought tolerance, and improved forage quality.

Does carcass decomposition affect soil-dwelling enchytraeids?
Soil Organisms, 2023 Carcass decomposition causes substantial changes in the humidity and chemistry of adjacent soil. Its potential effect on Enchytraeidae (Annelida: Clitellata) has, hitherto, not been studied.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Preserving ecosystem services, along with economic and environmental benefits, will require future landscape policies to identify and incorporate relevant landscape features. In this paper, we investigate the causal effect of agricultural landscape simplification on drought‐related grassland damages.

Selection of meadow fescue for persistence under frequent defoliation
Grassland ResearchBackground Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P. Beauv.) is a reemerging pasture grass for temperate regions of North America. One disadvantage of this species is its lack of tolerance to frequent defoliation at low residual sward heights. This

Threats and opportunities for European grassland areas under different market and policy scenarios
, 2014 Grasslands are an important landscape element in Europe, but have seen a reduction in area in the last 50 years. To assess future changes under varying price and policy scenarios the FARMIS agri-sector model was utilised to model likely farmer behaviour ...

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.
