Rehabilitated richness: biodiversity recovery in Germany's gypsum post‐mining landscapes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
In light of European and international mandates to protect natural areas in order to preserve biodiversity, all unused or abandoned areas become invaluable resources. We examined the botanical and structural diversity of post‐mining areas and surrounding landscapes across four major mining regions in Germany over a year‐long study.

An online survey of farmers' perspectives on the adoption of multispecies swards: Barriers, benefits and knowledge gaps

open access: yesGrassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 376-388, December 2025.
An Irish farmer survey found that multispecies swards can reduce fertiliser use and enhance drought resilience and biodiversity. While awareness is high, adoption is limited by challenges like weed control and grazing management. Farmers want clearer guidance and prefer learning through hands‐on events like open days and discussion groups.

Leveraging high‐dimensional seed colorspace in phenomic selection models for herbaceous perennial crops

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Herbaceous perennial crops, which only recently entered the domestication pipeline, offer the potential of ecological benefits in agricultural systems but remain underdeveloped, partly due to slow breeding cycles. Early‐stage phenomic selection, the process of using high‐dimensional secondary traits to predict target traits, may accelerate ...

Effects of Tannin‐Rich Forages (Lespedeza bicolor and Polygonum viviparum ) Mixed With Medicago sativa on In Vitro Rumen Fermentation

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Mixing alfalfa with tannin‐rich forages is an effective way to improve rumen fermentation. Lespedeza bicolor showed a more prominent effect on reducing gas and methane production than Polygonum viviparum when mixed with alfalfa. When the mixing ratio of tannin‐rich forages and alfalfa was below the threshold of 40:60, the overall fermentation of the ...
