The use of native pasture species in the rehabilitation of a limestone quarry

2016
In high environmental value areas, the rehabilitation of quarries requires the use of native well-adapted plant material. The use of forage species could perform the dual function of rehabilitation and production, where livestock breeding is a key aspect.

Water Usage of Certain Native Grasses in Prairie and Pasture

Ecology, 1941
A study of water content of soil covered with prairie vegetation and the same soil, a few yards distant, with grazed prairie usually reveals considerable difference in the amount of water at various depths to several feet. 'This was shown by soil sampling from Iowa to Kansas during spring and summer of 1939.

Domesticating Shrubby Native Legumes for Pastures and Natural Grasslands

2018
As ruminant species diversify in natural and managed ecosystems in an effort to increase production, so does the need for greater plant diversity. Legume shrub propagation is rarely targeted for this purpose. As an example, the wide range of native perennial, shrub (0.5–3 m) legumes in Texas indicates untapped potential for multiple uses such as forage,

Establishment of Townsville stylo in native perennial grass pastures

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, 1977
In experiments where Townsville stylo (Stylosanthes humilis) was oversown into perennial grass swards dominated by Heteropogon contortus and Bothriochloa bladhii residual stubble reduced the survival of Townsville stylo seedlings. When this stubble was removed, Townsville stylo plants grew to maturity and made up 25 per cent of the dry matter of the ...

The Chemical Composition of Forbs in the Native Pastures at Hays, Kansas

Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 1947
The samples for this study were collected in the summer and fall of 1943 at the time of the greatest apparent use by the cattle. Only those portions of the plant taken by the cattle were analyzed. Samples were also collected of a few plants that were noticeably avoided for the sake of comparison.

Towards integrating farming and conservation: the role of native pastures

Pacific Conservation Biology, 1998
Agriculture has almost certainly contributed to the decline of native vegetation and wildlife in rural Australia. A prevalent culture supports agricultural systems that rely on the use of exotic plants and animals and greater use of chemicals and machinery. In general, these systems do not fully utilize or take account of the indigenous biota. The full

Accelerating the transition from pasture to native forest

There is a growing interest in improving the rate of reforestation for climate change mitigation and preventing biodiversity decline. In New Zealand, a number of reforestation projects are being initiated on ex-farmland hill country. Te Whenua Ora/High Bare Peak (HBP) is a 540 ha ex-farmland area in Banks Peninsula, Canterbury that is now managed for ...
