Higher sustainability performance of intensive grazing versus zero-grazing dairy systems [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2012
Although grazing of dairy cows is an integral part of dairy farming in many European countries, farmers today more often choose for zero-grazing systems, where cows are housed throughout the year. Some studies already compared grazing and zero-grazing systems for specific issues such as labor efficiency, environmental impact, or animal welfare.

Resistance to Overdoping Allows Over 2000 S cm−1 Conductivity in P(g3BTTT) With Anion‐Exchange Doping

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Anion‐exchange doping of conjugated polymers is an effective way to achieve high conductivities. Here, we report over 2000 S cm−1 electrical conductivity for doped P(g3BTTT). In addition, we show that P(g3BTTT) sustains exceptionally high doping levels without any drop in the charge mobility.

Rethinking Charge Transport and Recombination in Donor‐Diluted Organic Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Organic solar cells with 1–45% PM6 content in Y12 were studied to link structure and charge dynamics to performance. The conductivity follows a 3D percolation model without a sharp threshold. Donor dilution preserves the photogeneration yield, but limits the fill factor due to transport resistance losses.

Grazing regime rather than grazing intensity affect the foraging behavior of cattle

Ecological Informatics
Foraging behavior of cattle is a critical factor for sustainable grassland grazing. Investigating cattle's behavior under varying grazing strategies can offer valuable insights into the interactions between grazing animals and grasslands. In this study, we used a fenced grazing experiment to test the hypothesis that grazing pressure influences the ...

Gold‐Stabilized Copper Enables Anodic Hydrogen Evolution for Ultralow‐Voltage CO‐to‐Ethylene Electrolysis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Gold‐stabilized copper suppresses hydroxide‐driven deactivation during anodic hydrogen evolution from furfural. Pairing this low‐potential anode with CO‐to‐ethylene electroreduction enables sub‐1 V operation at 400 mA cm−2, high single‐pass CO conversion, and co‐production of ethylene, furoic acid, and a separate hydrogen stream.

Understanding the effects of cattle grazing in English chalk streams

, 2012
Accounting for much of the landscape of southern England, chalk stream environments hold significant cultural, economic and ecological value. However, attempts to retain this value are often hindered by the remnants of historic management practices that ...

Research on the spatial characterization of herder grazing intensity supported by mobile phone signaling data

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionMobile phone signaling data have become one of the main types of data used to carry out spatial mobility analysis, but no research has simulated herders’ grazing intensity by using this measure.MethodsIn this paper, based on herders’ mobile ...

Direct and indirect effects of land-use intensity on plant communities across elevation in semi-natural grasslands.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Grassland biodiversity is vulnerable to land use change. How to best manage semi-natural grasslands for maintaining biodiversity is still unclear in many cases because land-use processes may depend on environmental conditions and the indirect effects of ...

Engineering the Assembly Freedom of Donor–Acceptor Type Self‐Assembled Monolayers Toward Efficient and Stable Flexible Perovskite Photovoltaics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Assembly freedom engineering breaks the vertical alignment constraint of donor–acceptor self‐assembled monolayers, tuning their assembly freedom to achieve quasi‐random molecular orientation. This strategy simultaneously boosts interfacial charge transport and mechanical robustness, enabling high‐efficiency and mechanically stable flexible perovskite ...
