Complementary grazing of native pasture and Old World bluestem [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Range Management, 2001
Native pasture and Old World bluestems (Bothriochloa spp.) have contrasting herbage production characteristics that suggest potential for incorporation into a complementary forage system. We compared 2 yearling beef production systems consisting of either native pasture (Native) or Old World bluestem combined with native pasture (Old World bluestem ...

The Potential of Myrtaceae Species for the Phytomanagement of Treated Municipal Wastewater

open access: yesPlants, 2023
The use of native plants in land application systems for treated municipal wastewater (TMW) can contribute to ecological restoration. However, research on the potential of native species to manage the nutrients and contaminants contained in TMW is scarce.

Overcoming barriers to seedling regeneration during forest restoration on tropical pasture land and the potential value of woody weeds

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Combating the legacy of deforestation on tropical biodiversity requires the conversion to forest of large areas of established pasture, where barriers to native plant regeneration include competition with pasture grasses and poor propagule supply (seed ...

Changes in soil carbon stocks in Brazil due to land use: paired site comparisons and a regional pasture soil survey [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2013
In this paper we calculated soil carbon stocks in Brazil studying 17 paired sites where soil stocks were determined in native vegetation, pastures and crop-livestock systems (CPS), and in other regional samplings encompassing more than 100 pasture soils,

Uptake of native and applied selenium by pasture species [PDF]

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1966
Abstract Selenium at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 oz per acre has been applied to a pasture as selenious acid, and the selenium content of dissected species determined over an 18‐month period. A marked difference in selenium content between species was apparent, the concentration being greatest in browntop

Estimating Soil Organic Carbon Under Different Land-Use Types in Australia’s Northern Grains Region Using Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy

open access: yesProceedings, 2020
Land-use type is known to affect levels of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the degree to which SOC is affected by land-use type over the short—(
