Modeling vegetation and carbon dynamics of managed grasslands at the global scale with LPJmL 3.6 [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2018
Grassland management affects the carbon fluxes of one-third of the global land area and is thus an important factor for the global carbon budget. Nonetheless, this aspect has been largely neglected or underrepresented in global carbon cycle models. We

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 ...

THE ROLE OF GRASSLAND IN MANAGEMENT

Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1968
THE PROPERTY to be discussed is a mixed sheep and cropping unit, situated ei ht a miles east of Ashburton and midway between the Ra aia and the Ashburton rivers. Average annual rainfall is 27 in., evenly spread, but there is very high summer evaporation and therefore frequent droughts.

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 ...

Combining satellite data and agricultural statistics to map grassland management intensity in Europe

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The world’s grasslands, both natural and managed, provide food and many non-provisioning ecosystem services. Although most grasslands today are used for livestock grazing or fodder production, little is known about the spatial patterns of grassland ...

Disembedding and Disentangling Grassland Valuation: Insights into Grassland Management Institutions and Ecological Research in China

Land
After two decades of implementing top-down grassland restoration projects focused on reducing livestock numbers and pastoralist populations, the Chinese government’s well-funded efforts have not significantly reversed grassland degradation.

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.
