Effects of abandonment on plant diversity in seminatural grasslands along soil and climate gradients [PDF]

, 2017
Questions: What are the effects of abandonment on plant diversity in semi-natural grasslands? Do the effects of abandonment on taxonomic and functional diversity vary along environmental gradients of climate and soil?

RIM-DB: a taxonomic framework for community structure analysis of methanogenic archaea from the rumen and other intestinal environments [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Methane is formed by methanogenic archaea in the rumen as one of the end products of feed fermentation in the ruminant digestive tract. To develop strategies to mitigate anthropogenic methane emissions due to ruminant farming, and to understand rumen ...

Introgression of Trifolium ambiguum Into Allotetraploid White Clover (Trifolium repens) Using the Ancestral Parent Trifolium occidentale as a Bridging Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
White clover (Trifolium repens) is an allotetraploid pasture legume widely used in moist temperate climates, but its vulnerability to drought, grazing pressure and pests has restricted its wider use.

Effect of four plant species on soil 15N-access and herbage yield in temporary agricultural grasslands [PDF]

, 2013
Positive plant diversity-productivity relationships have been reported for experimental semi-natural grasslands (Cardinale et al. 2006; Hector et al. 1999; Tilman et al. 1996) as well as temporary agricultural grasslands (Frankow-Lindberg et al.

Seed Transmission of Epichloë Endophytes in Lolium perenne Is Heavily Influenced by Host Genetics

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Vertical transmission of symbiotic Epichloë endophytes from host grasses into progeny seed is the primary mechanism by which the next generation of plants is colonized. This process is often imperfect, resulting in endophyte-free seedlings which may have

Assessment of multi-temporal, multi-sensor radar and ancillary spatial data for grasslands monitoring in Ireland using machine learning approaches [PDF]

, 2014
Accurate inventories of grasslands are important for studies of carbon dynamics, biodiversity conservation and agricultural management. For regions with persistent cloud cover the use of multi-temporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data provides an ...

Changes in plant species richness distribution in Tibetan alpine grasslands under different precipitation scenarios [PDF]

, 2020
Species richness is the core of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research. Nevertheless, it is difficult to accurately predict changes in plant species richness under different climate scenarios, especially in alpine biomes.
