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]
PeerJBackground 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 ...

SPATIAL ECOLOGY AND HABITAT USE OF THE WESTERN MASSASAUGA (SISTRURUS TERGEMINUS) IN NEBRASKA [PDF]
, 2016 We used radiotelemetry during 2004 and 2005 to investigate seasonal movements and habitat use and to improve our understanding of how land management practices were affecting Western Massasauga (Sistrurus tergeminus) populations in Nebraska.

Soil biota in grassland, its ecosystem services and the impact of management [PDF]
, 2007 In the search for sustainable grassland systems, self-regulating processes in the soil become increasingly important. Soil biota play an important role in these processes and in the provision of various ecosystem services. For grassland systems important
