Impacts of tillage on soil properties and interactions with drainage when reseeding permanent pasture

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Effect of three‐way interaction between soil tillage, drainage and depths on soil properties in reseeded pastures. Abstract Background Grassland reseeding typically requires intensive tillage. This disrupts soil nutrient dynamics, especially under varying drainage conditions. Methods This study evaluated the combined effects of tillage legacy, drainage

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self‐sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increasing ambitions for nature restoration and green energy. Meanwhile, the overall agricultural area shrinks due to land sealing.

Using DNA Barcoding to Identify the Genus Lolium

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2015
Seeds of the genus Lolium are difficult to identify based on morphology for morphological likeness and some physical deformation such as friction and flattening during storage and transport.

Potential for gene-flow from cultivated Irish grasses and cereals [PDF]

, 2009
End of project reportThe importance of gene movement from cultivated plants has been highlighted in regard to minimising the movement of seed and/or pollen between GM and non-GM crops (i.e. gene flow). Although ryegrass covers in excess of 90% of Ireland’

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs

Oikos, EarlyView.
Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

Genetic Diversity and Structure of Lolium Species Surveyed on Nuclear Simple Sequence Repeat and Cytoplasmic Markers

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
To assess the genetic diversity and population structure of Lolium species, we used 32 nuclear simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 7 cytoplasmic gene markers to analyze a total of 357 individuals from 162 accessions of 9 Lolium species.

Could large‐scale silicon supplementation of crop‐lands mitigate the impacts of climate change?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Intervention strategies that involve supplementing crop‐lands with silicon have significant scope for carbon capture and drought mitigation, offering wide‐ranging societal impacts. These include contributing to decarbonisation goals, enhancing food security, providing economic benefits and reducing environmental damage associated with intensive ...
