PRODUÇÃO E CARACTERÍSTICAS ESTRUTURAIS DE CINCO FORRAGEIRAS DO GÊNERO Brachiaria SOB INTENSIDADES DE CORTES INTERMITENTES

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2011
This experiment happened from July 2004 to September 2005 in the Depressão Cuiabana region-MT. The objective of this study was to verify the yield and sward structure of five Brachiaria genus forages submitted to 10 and 20 cm cutting intensities.

Shaping the Protein Transition From the Niche: Firm‐Level Dynamics in Europe's Plant‐Based Alternative Protein Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agri‐food sector, most notably intensive livestock production, stands as a major driver of climate change, prompting a shift towards plant‐based alternative protein production and consumption. Such protein transition is widely recognised as central to the development of an environmentally sustainable food economy.

Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for better understanding of firm activities that contribute to biodiversity preservation. Panwar, Ober, and Pinkse offer a valuable typology of corporate biodiversity protection strategies based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, the preloss (proactive) strategies of conservation and compensation, and the ...

Maximising trait evenness promotes the recovery of plant species richness in managed grasslands

Ecography, EarlyView.
Land‐use intensification threatens biodiversity, and restoring degraded ecosystems remains challenging due to the difficulty of identifying the rules governing community assembly and dynamics. Investigating the temporal dynamics of trait‐abundance distributions (TADs) along long‐term time series offers a promising approach to disentangle the influence ...

Prevalence of insulin dysregulation in a sport horse population as determined by traditional and stall‐side testing

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The prevalence of insulin dysregulation (ID) has not been investigated in sport horses. Stall‐side insulin assays offer convenience but need further validation. Objectives To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for ID in a sport horse population using an oral sugar test (OST) and assess agreement between stall‐side and ...

Oscillometric assessment of bronchodilator response in horses with severe asthma during remission

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background During clinical remission of severe equine asthma (SEA), affected animals can be challenging to distinguish from healthy horses. In humans, the degree of bronchodilation achieved with a β2‐adrenergic bronchodilator is helpful in differentiating asthmatics from healthy subjects.

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.

Reconsidering the impact of saturated fat intake on metabolic health: A critical review of evidence and controversies

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Saturated fats (SFAs) play a complex role in health; therefore, their intake has been a topic of debate in the field of nutrition science. Therefore, this article emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rather than SFA, considering genetic and metabolic differences, and advocates for the reconsideration of dietary guidelines based on the ...

Independent leaf and root responses to autumn freezing in perennial herbs: Insights from cutting and transplant manipulations

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
In this study, we compared two sampling approaches to assess autumn freezing resistance. Our goal was to determine whether the commonly employed cutting method, which disrupts root‐tissue connectivity, provides a valid measure of true freezing resistance.

Forage yield and grazing efficiency on rotationally stocked pastures of 'Tanzania-1' guineagrass and 'Guaçu' elephantgrass

Scientia Agricola, 2005
The potential carrying capacity of tropical pastures depends not only on the productivity of the forage species and the amount of forage on offer, but also on the efficiency with which the produced herbage is harvested by the grazing animal.
