Detecting Woody Plant Cover in the Foothills Parkland and Montane Ecoregions of Southern Alberta

Remote Sensing
Grasslands globally are threatened by loss and degradation as shifting factors in climate and management put them at risk. These grassland ecosystems support local economies and are a center of biodiversity, which makes understanding the risks that ...

Forage chemical composition drives early metabolic shifts in ponies fed different haylages

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rapid changes between feeds can cause dysbiosis and colic in horses. The metabolic consequences of transitioning between haylages (HY) are currently unknown. Objectives To characterise urinary and faecal metabonomics in ponies transitioned between HY varying in botanical composition and physiological age and to evaluate the speed of

Optimization of moisture content and application rate of hay preservative during high‐moisture alfalfa hay baling in northwestern China

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...

Reduced Precipitation Frequency Decreases the Stability of the Soil Organic Carbon Pool by Altering Microbial Communities in Degraded Grasslands

Agronomy
Decreasing precipitation frequency (DPF) has the potential to alter soil microbial community structure, enzyme activity, and the stoichiometry of microbial biomass in grassland ecosystems.

The effect of awns on seed yield and germination characteristics in Elymus nutans Griseb.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The effect of awns on seed yield. Three‐year field trials demonstrated that awns significantly regulate seed yield components and germination characteristics of Elymus nutans Griseb, laying a theoretical foundation for the breeding of high‐yielding forage varieties and seed production.

Disturbance from restoration reseeding is associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss and alters soil bacterial communities and functions in degraded alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Restoration reseeding of degraded alpine meadows increased aboveground vegetation but was associated with short‐term topsoil carbon loss, coinciding with a microbial strategy shift from resident carbon‐preserving to carbon‐spending bacterial guilds. Abstract Background Restoration of degraded ecosystems is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution ...
