Impacts of tillage on soil properties and interactions with drainage when reseeding permanent pasture

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Effect of three‐way interaction between soil tillage, drainage and depths on soil properties in reseeded pastures. Abstract Background Grassland reseeding typically requires intensive tillage. This disrupts soil nutrient dynamics, especially under varying drainage conditions. Methods This study evaluated the combined effects of tillage legacy, drainage

SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT PERMANENT GRASSLANDS

Scientific Papers Series : Management, Economic Engineering in Agriculture and Rural Development, 2014
The Natural complete ecosystem, the original form of development of human society has changed due to the adoption of diversified development options, mainly oriented towards production systems designed to erode the harmony between man and nature. As a consequence of these changes, we are witnessing today an increase of the probability of manifestation ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Effects of Hemiparasites in Grassland Restorations Are Not Universal

Diversity
Root hemiparasites infiltrate the vascular tissue of host roots to acquire water and nutrients, which often reduces host growth. Hemiparasites are postulated to be keystone species in grassland communities if they suppress dominant species and increase ...

Late summer plateau pika spatial habitat use revealed by high‐resolution wildlife tracking and unmanned aerial vehicle data on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Tiny “ecosystem engineers,” plateau pikas range across 1600 m², about two basketball courts, mixing soil and nutrients that sustain Tibet's fragile grasslands. Custom‐made trackers and drone imagery show dawn‐to‐dusk surface foraging and nested‐scale patch choices, offering fresh guidance for wildlife‐friendly grazing management.

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Response of Soil Carbon Mineralization to Grassland Management Practices on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Earth's Future
Grassland management practices strongly influence soil carbon dynamics, yet their effects on carbon mineralization processes in high‐altitude regions remain poorly understood.

Human appreciation of flower colours as cultural ecosystem service in grasslands: A methodological approach

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
This literature‐based method estimates human appreciation of flower colours on target grasslands. Step 1: search literature sources (floristic surveys, national floras, web datasets and preference studies). Step 2: flower trait extraction (flower colour and area, flowering period and human colour appreciation scale).

Life Stage‐Specific Genetic Diversity and Landscape Characteristics Collectively Influence Genetic Recovery in Pometia pinnata Population 生活史阶段特异的遗传多样性与景观特征对番龙眼种群遗传恢复的协同影响

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Pometia pinnata demonstrated life‐stage‐specific genetic responses to landscape features, with asymmetric gene flow patterns and population recovery following historical bottlenecks, revealing complex topographic and demographic influences on forest genetic structure.

Integrating land sharing and sparing paradigms in grassland ecology: A perspective on balancing livestock production and biodiversity

Grassland Research
The increasing global demand for livestock products (meat, milk, and wool) drives overgrazing, leading to biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in grasslands worldwide.
