Long-term yak-grazing alters the plant fine-root resource acquisition strategies in Tibetan alpine meadow

Ecological Indicators
Understanding how fine-root resource acquisition strategies respond to yak grazing is critical for comprehending the structure and functioning of alpine meadow ecosystems.

Adoption of Intensive Grazing Systems

Journal of Extension, 1995
The study focuses on the divergence between recommended and on-farm practices, information sources, the state of characteristic flux in farmers grazing techniques and the unique challenges of Cooperative Extension education efforts with low-tech grazing dairy producers.

Fast rotational intensive grazing

, 2017
The increased demand for meat is driven by a rising human population, and a dramatic growth in meat consumption per person. Farmers and scientists have sought to curb the adverse environmental impacts of livestock by increasing production efficiency, and reducing its contribution to human consumption.

Semiconducting Polymers Post‐Functionalized With Ureido‐Pyrimidinone for Robust Stretchable Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The design of intrinsically robust stretchable semiconducting polymers was achieved through OTBS‐mediated post‐functionalization of PDPP2T side chains with UPy units, generating dual hydrogen‐bonding motifs comprising weaker urethane linkages and strong quadruple UPy interactions along the long alkyl side chain, which is crucial for achieving desirable

The Effect of Grazing Intensities on Magnesium Contents

Acta Agraria Debreceniensis, 2004
Research was carried out on two areas of grassland in Hortobágy National Park, Hungary. Two herds of Hungarian Grey Cattle were kept in free range grazing and the effects of grazing pressure on the magnesium content of soil and ryegrass (Lolium perenne L) were determined.Changes of plant available and total soil magnesium content under different ...

Amazing Grazing: A Public and Private Partnership to Stimulate Grazing Practices in Intensive Dairy Systems [PDF]

Sustainability, 2019
In many intensive dairy regions in northwest Europe, a decline in grazing is observed. In the Netherlands, the proportion of dairy cows with access to pasture is declining, as well as the time spent grazing per cow. The decline in grazing is seen as an unwanted trend by many stakeholders and is, thus, under debate amongst dairy farmers, the dairy chain,

Tuning the Optoelectronic Properties of Wide Bandgap Perovskites: Data‐Driven Insights from Combinatorial Synthesis and High‐Throughput Experimentation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Combinatorial vapor deposition enables independent tuning of Cs/Pb and Br/Cl in wide‐bandgap perovskites. Automated multimodal mapping of 500+ compositions reveals a high‐energy optical transition that correlates with enhanced photoluminescence, defining a practical Cs/Pb window.

Effects of different grazing intensities on plant species diversity at different spatial scales in a desert steppe in Inner Mongolia [PDF]

PeerJ
The effect of grazing intensity on plant diversity has been widely studied. In this study, desert steppes with different grazing intensities (no grazing (CK), light grazing (LG), moderate grazing (MG), heavy grazing (HG), and extremely heavy grazing (EG))

Plant compensation to grazing and soil carbon dynamics in a tropical grassland [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
The effects of grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, particularly in the tropics, are still poorly understood. Plant compensation to grazing, whereby plants maintain leaf area (C input capacity) despite consumption (C removal) by grazers, has ...

Riparian Vegetation Response to Different Intensities and Seasons of Grazing [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2004
Sustainable management of riparian ecosystems depends on our understanding of these complex systems. Thus far, the scientific literature has not adequately addressed the effects of livestock grazing on riparian areas in the American southwest. Most available information is observational, anecdotal, based on unreplicated experiments, or compares heavily
