The interplay between foraging choices and population growth dynamics

PLOS One
Population growth models typically incorporate attributes observable at the population scale, often overlooking the trade-off between individual-level reproductive and behavioral traits and their influence on population size. Individuals’ survival and reproductive abilities are expected to dynamically evolve depending on the population size, which is ...

Complementary or Competitive? Emerging Interactions Between Restoration and Protection in the Conservation Reserve Program

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The USDA's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) delivers environmental benefits to society by enrolling cropland and grasslands to reestablish or safeguard long‐term vegetative cover. In recent years, the CRP has dramatically increased grassland enrollment while cropland enrollment has been in steady decline. This paper uses descriptive analysis,

Plant density and growth of forage maize genotypes.

, 2011
A study was conducted to identify genotypes of maize withhigh forage potential. The fi rst experiment (E1) was conductedfrom November 2007 to February 2008, evaluating thegenotypes H-520, HE-1A17, HE-2A15, V-556AC, VS-536,A7573 and a native variety, at three densities (50000, 62500and 83333 plants/ha) and with four replications.

U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.

Root parameters and physical soil attributes with forage growth of PANICUM and UROCHLOAgrasses forage

, 2023
The grasses of the Panicum and Urochloa forages are important plant species that improve the physical quality of the soil, due their aggressive root system and rapid establishment. Based on this, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different forage species of the forages Panicum and Urochloa on soil physical quality for two agricultural ...
