Root Foraging Influences Plant Growth Responses to Earthworm Foraging
PLoS ONE, 2014 Interactions among the foraging behaviours of co-occurring animal species can impact population and community dynamics; the consequences of interactions between plant and animal foraging behaviours have received less attention. In North American forests, invasions by European earthworms have led to substantial changes in plant community composition ...

Pastures and forages for deer growth
NZGA: Research and Practice Series, 2003 Pasture is the primary feed source for NZ deer production with the greatest proportion grazed in situ. The quantity and quality of the pastures available to grazing deer varies markedly as a result of environmental factors and feed planning decisions by deer farmers.

Feed Value of Barn-Dried Hays from Permanent Grassland: A Comparison with Fresh Forage
Agronomy, 2019 In mountain areas, hays are the main forage in winter diets for livestock. Barn-dried hays can be an alternative to traditional hays, which are generally characterized by a low feed value. The aim of this study was to compare the feed value of barn-dried

Optimization of growth conditions for forage production in a fresh forage growing system
Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2019 The optimization of growth conditions for a fresh forage cultivation system was performed herein to maximize the productivity of hulled barley by using response surface methodology. A central composite design was adopted to design experiments for determining the effects of two growth conditions: temperature (℃) and humidity (%).

Growth references for Tsimane forager‐horticulturalists of the Bolivian Amazon
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2016 AbstractObjectivesGrowth standards and references currently used to assess population and individual health are derived primarily from urban populations, including few individuals from indigenous or subsistence groups. Given environmental and genetic differences, growth may vary in these populations.

Fermentation kinetics of two intercropped forages cut at different growth stage
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 The mixture legume/grass determines agronomic advantages (i.e. lower N fertilization) and more equilibrate energy/N ratio in the forage for ruminant (Betti et al., 1992).
