Mineral supplements improve the nutritional value of forage and the livestock carrying capacity of high-Andean pastures

Journal of Ecological Engineering
This study evaluated the effects of calcium-based soil amendments and pasture composition on forage produc - tivity, nutritional quality, and livestock carrying capacity in high-Andean grassland systems. A field experiment was analyzed using linear mixed-

Climate-Driven Effects on NPP in the Tibetan Plateau Alpine Grasslands Diminish with Increasing Elevation

Remote Sensing
Temperature and precipitation are important abiotic factors affecting net primary productivity (NPP) in grassland ecosystems. However, findings on how elevation influences the effects of these factors on NPP in alpine grasslands are not yet consistent ...

Development and evaluation of remote sensing-based grassland ecosystem monitoring tool for predicting provisioning, regulating, and supporting services in semi-arid regions

Smart Agricultural Technology
The complex and costly current methods hinder majority of the developing countries to develop systems for monitoring ecosystem services (ES), especially in natural grassland. We developed a “Grassland Ecosystem Monitoring Index” (GEMI) as an easy and low-

Land parcellation reduced spatial redundancy resulting in grassland degradation

People and Nature
Degradation is the most immediate threat to biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods of global pastoral grasslands. However, we are still uncertain why grassland degradation is enhanced by the land policy of grassland parcellation.
