Fertilization can accelerate the pace of soil microbial community response to rest‐grazing duration in the three‐river source region of China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Overgrazing leads to grassland degradation and productivity decline. Rest‐grazing during the regreen‐up period can quickly restore grassland and fertilization is a common restoration strategy.

Grazing Systems Management: Achieving Management Goals by Balancing Livestock Grazing with Time and Space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Author(s): Barry, Sheila; Larson, Stephanie; Ford, Lawrence D; Bush, Lisa | Abstract: Time was, herded livestock could be led over the wide landscape to wherever the feed and water were best, but fences and property rights restrict most modern herds to much smaller ranges. Time and space are big issues for today's herder.

Finding graze time - combining grazing with automatic milking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The introduction of automatic milking systems (AMS) within European dairy farming in the past decades has been accompanied by a decline in grazing and in time spent outdoors by dairy cows. Grazing is a natural behaviour of cattle, and the opportunity to go outdoors is often considered a component of animal welfare.

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...
