Grazing-induced microbiome alterations drive soil organic carbon turnover and productivity in meadow steppe

Microbiome, 2018
Grazing is a major modulator of biodiversity and productivity in grasslands. However, our understanding of grazing-induced changes in below-ground communities, processes, and soil productivity is limited.

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]

, 2015
Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

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

Effect of Grazing Exclusion and Rotational Grazing on Soil Aggregate Stability in Typical Grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Soil aggregate is extremely important for soil health and sustainable land management. Overgrazing has caused serious degeneration of grassland in the past decades and how to restore the degraded soil through grazing management is urgently needed.

Grazing, Stocking, and Production Efficiencies in Grazing Research [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1988
The term ~urvcst efficicncv has been used with increasing frequency to describe results of intensive grazing management. A concept of lmrvest efficiency for grazed systems, i.e., a grazing efficiency concept compatible with the dynamics of herbage growth and disappearance is needed.

RNA-Seq-based analysis of changes in Borrelia burgdorferi gene expression linked to pathogenicity

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Lyme disease is a global public health problem caused by the spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi. Our previous studies found differences in disease severity between B. burgdorferi B31- and B. garinii SZ-infected mice.

Effects of grazing patterns on grassland biomass and soil environments in China: A meta-analysis

PLoS ONE, 2019
Background Grazing has important influences on the structures and functions of grassland ecosystems, but the effects of grazing patterns on grassland biomass and soil environments in China remain unclear. Objective We employed a meta-analysis to identify

Performance and parasitosis in heifers grazing mixed with sows [PDF]

, 2000
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of mixed grazing with first season heifers and pregnant sows on animal performance, gastro-intestinal helminths, pasture quality and sward structure during three grazing seasons.
