Effects of Spring Rest Grazing on Underground Bud Bank in Alpine Meadow of Tibetan Plateau Before Critical Period of Soil Thawing [PDF]

Plants
The bud bank is the reproductive body bank of grassland plants, which plays a key role in population maintenance and renewal. To study the effects of rest grazing on underground bud bank density, the changes in bud bank density were clarified to provide ...

Effects of Concentrate Supplementation on Growth Performance, Rumen Fermentation, and Bacterial Community Composition in Grazing Yaks during the Warm Season

Animals, 2022
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of concentrate supplementation on the growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, rumen fermentation, and bacterial community composition of grazing yaks during the warm season. Eight male yaks (body weight,

Grazing lawns and overgrazing in frequently grazed grass communities [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
AbstractFrequent grazing can establish high forage value grazing lawns supporting high grazer densities, but can also produce overgrazed grass communities with unpalatable or low grass basal cover, supporting few grazers. Attempts to create grazing lawns via concentrated grazing, with a goal to increase grazer numbers, are thus risky without knowing ...

Spatial Distribution of Highland Cattle in Alnus viridis Encroached Subalpine Pastures

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Green alder (Alnus viridis) is a shrub species that has expanded over former pastures in Central Europe due to land abandonment, leading to negative agri-environmental impacts, such as a reduction in forage yield and quality and an increase in nitrate ...

Sheep Grazing Impacts on Soil Health and Pasture Quality at Commercial Solar Sites in Northeastern USA

AgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
As solar sheep grazing continues to gain traction, it is important to emphasize soil health and pasture quality. Therefore, this study was performed to collect in-field data from 28 grazed and 3 non-grazed commercial solar sites to determine how grazing

Inoculation treatments affect the migration and colonisation of rhizobia in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2018
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to characterise the migration and the colonisation dynamics of two different fluorescent-tagged rhizobia in various alfalfa tissues (especially in seeds); and also to develop efficient inoculation treatments to ...
