Screening of Grasses’ Chemical Composition Variability and Methane Emissions in Colombian Livestock Ecoregions Using Digital Bromatology

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Grasses’ nutritional characteristics and management are fundamental for grazing cattle to guarantee sustainability in tropical conditions. This study aims to analyze the pastures’ chemical composition variability and methane emissions in different Colombian ecoregions and productive activities using digital bromatology data.

A Conservation Assessment and Systematic Review of the Endangered Spectacled Flying‐Fox 濒危眼镜狐蝠的保护评估与系统综述

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 173-193, December 2025.
Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

Off‐season crops as a strategy for renovating degraded pastures and improving maize yield in a low‐altitude tropical region

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Brazil can expand cultivated areas without deforestation by restoring degraded pastures and optimizing grain production through off‐season crops. This study evaluated eight off‐season treatments, including fallow, monocrops, and intercropping combinations, and their effects on maize (Zea mays L.) intercropped with guinea grass (Megathyrsus ...

Supplementation strategies for beef cattle managed in integrated systems: Impacts on animal production and grain yields

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The use of feed supplements can enhance land yield in crop‐livestock integrated systems (CLIS). Thus, a study was conducted in Montes Claros de Goiás, Brazil, between 2020 and 2023. The system comprised soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivation during spring/summer (generally, sowing in November and harvesting in March), followed by Zuri ...
