Fermentation Characteristics and Lactic Acid Bacteria Succession of Total Mixed Ration Silages Formulated with Peach Pomace [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015
The objective of this study was to assess the use of peach pomace in total mixed ration (TMR) silages and clarify the differences in aerobic stability between TMR and TMR silages caused by lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Erratic precipitation and clipping frequency reshape the community structure and species stability of Leymus chinensis steppe

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Leymus chinensis steppe is subject to degradation under the combined stresses of climate change and human disturbance. This study aimed to determine the independent and compound effects of precipitation and clipping frequency on the community structure ...

Plant Trait‐ and Soil‐Mediated Responses of Herbaceous Aboveground Biomass Across Community Types Along a Degradation Gradient in the Desert Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11900-11911, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Grassland degradation profoundly alters the structure and function of desert steppe ecosystems. However, the responses of herbaceous aboveground biomass (Herb‐AGB) to degradation across different plant community types and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Photosynthetic response and transcriptomic profiling provide insights into the alkali tolerance of clone halophyte Leymus chinensis

Photosynthetica, 2020
Alkali stress is one of the important factors in restricting agriculture production. Leymus chinensis is constructive halophyte species in alkalized grassland in China. In order to investigate the gene expression response of L. chinensis to alkali stress,

Microbially Mediated Soil Carbon Sequestration Under Long‐Term Increased Snow Cover: Divergent Mechanisms Between Topsoil and Subsoil in a Temperate Grassland

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Climate‐driven changes in winter snow cover alter soil microclimate and hydrology, affecting soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, whereas the mechanisms by which long‐term deepened snow influences SOC sequestration across soil profiles remain unclear.

Herbivore species asynchrony underpins multitrophic stability across plants, herbivores and predators

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 1970-1983, October 2026.
Across a grassland food web, multitrophic stability was most closely associated with herbivore species asynchrony. By identifying herbivores as a key source of temporal buffering between plants and predators, this study shows that intermediate consumers can play a central role in stabilizing the complex food web.

Discovery and analysis of microRNAs in Leymus chinensis under saline-alkali and drought stress using high-throughput sequencing. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel. is a perennial rhizome grass of the Poaceae (also called Gramineae) family, which adapts well to drought, saline and alkaline conditions. However, little is known about the stress tolerance of L. chinensis at the molecular

Fermentation quality, bacterial community, and aerobic stability of ensiling Leymus chinensis with lactic acid bacteria or/and water after long-term storage

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Leymus chinensis is a major forage resource for herbivores on typical steppe and meadow steppes in Northern China. This study aimed to reveal the fermentation quality, bacterial community, and aerobic stability of L.

Inferring Adaptation at Community Composition Level From the Relationship Between Succession Rate and Global Change Intensity

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
A 10‐year nitrogen addition experiment in Eurasian steppe reveals that plant and microbial community succession rates first increase then decrease with rising N intensity, indicating an adaptive threshold. Deterministic processes driven by soil physicochemical changes dominate this response, with management strategies modulating adaptation via ...

Grazing reshapes plant nitrogen use trade‐off between soil uptake and internal remobilization

The Plant Journal, Volume 128, Issue 1, October 2026.
Significance Statement Perennial herbaceous plants acquire N for aboveground growth through two major processes: root N remobilization and soil N uptake. Using an in situ 15N tracer technique, we show that grazing significantly leaned N use trade‐off from soil N uptake toward root N remobilization, and the trade‐off is driven by plant growth N demand ...
