Soil properties and carbon and nitrogen pools in a young hillside longan orchard after the introduction of leguminous plants and residues

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
The intensification of young hillside Dimocarpus longan orchard cultivation has led to increase soil erosion and decrease soil fertility in South China. Leguminous crops are often used for improving soil properties.

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.

Effects of Replacing Alfalfa Hay With Barley Silage in High‐Concentrate Diets: Chewing Behavior, Ruminal Fermentation, Total‐Tract Digestibility, and Milk Production of Dairy Cows in Mid‐Lactation Phase

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We assessed lactation productivity in dairy cows when replacing alfalfa hay with barley silage. A 50% replacement increased feed intake, whereas total replacement improved nutrient conversion to milk. Barley silage can effectively replace alfalfa hay, enhancing sustainability and resilience in dairy production amid forage quality constraints and market

Classification, characterisation and strategies for improvement of cattle and sheep pasture systems in marginal areas of Southern Chile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Pasture-based livestock systems in farms with medium or low size are especially important in less favored areas and are valuable for society. For these systems to survive, it is necessary to obtain an acceptable level of productivity and ensure ...

Emissions of N2O following field incorporation of leguminous and non-leguminous cover crops [PDF]

open access: yesAgriculture, Ecosystems & Environment
Cover crop (CC) cultivation can reduce N leaching from agricultural fields. It has also recently been proposed as a measure to mitigate climate change due to its potential for increasing soil carbon (C) stocks and reducing soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions during CC growth.

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
