Grassland Management for Sustainable Agroecosystems

Agronomy, 2020
Knowledge on sustainable grassland management is available in the large body of literature. However, it is unclear where to look for it, and what is really relevant to the many interrelated challenges of sustainable grassland management. This special issue illustrates options to fill some of those gaps.

Eleven years' data of grassland management in Germany. [PDF]

Biodivers Data J, 2019
The 150 grassland plots were located in three study regions in Germany, 50 in each region. The dataset describes the yearly grassland management for each grassland plot using 116 variables. General information includes plot identifier, study region and survey year.

Sheepfolds induce significant increase of seasonal CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions in temperate steppes of Inner Mongolia

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionThe changes in grassland management and grassland types are strongly linked with dynamics in soil physico-chemical properties and vegetation attributes, with important implications for carbon/nitrogen cycling and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes ...

Nitrogen fertilizer regulates soil respiration by altering the organic carbon storage in root and topsoil in alpine meadow of the north-eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Scientific Reports, 2019
Soil respiration (Rs) plays a critical role in the global carbon (C) balance, especially in the context of globally increasing nitrogen (N) deposition. However, how N-addition influences C cycle remains unclear.

Prototype Biodiversity Digital Twin: grassland biodiversity dynamics [PDF]

Research Ideas and Outcomes
European grassland management has often favoured high production through frequent mowing and heavy fertilisation over biodiversity conservation, which is typically supported by less intensive management.

Microbial Dispersal, Including Bison Dung Vectored Dispersal, Increases Soil Microbial Diversity in a Grassland Ecosystem

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Microbial communities display biogeographical patterns that are driven by local environmental conditions and dispersal limitation, but the relative importance of underlying dispersal mechanisms and their consequences on community structure are not well ...

Characteristics of soil microbial phospholipid fatty acids in artificial, black-soil mountain degraded, and natural grasslands in the source region of the Three Rivers [PDF]

PeerJ
Background The source region of the Three Rivers is a concentrated distribution area of alpine grassland. Due to intensified human interference and unsustainable land use, the vegetation and soil in these grasslands have undergone severe degradation ...
