Biomass and forage nutritive value of spring‐planted cover crops in a semiarid region
Abstract Integrating cover crops (CCs) into cropping systems offers multiple benefits, including soil erosion control, nitrogen cycling, organic matter accumulation, weed suppression, and forage for livestock. Biomass, a key driver of these benefits, depends on species selection and adaptation to environmental conditions.

Mock Plant Communities and a Large Mammal Case Study Reveal ITS2 Primer Bias Against Graminoids
DNA fecal metabarcoding has greatly advanced herbivore diet analysis, but primer selection plays an important role in mitigating PCR amplification bias, affecting ecological inferences. In this study, using plant mock communities and a large mammalian herbivore case study, we evaluated two primer pairs targeting the ITS2 region.

Abstract Pulses of resource availability along environmental gradients can filter the local and regional distribution of macrophyte and microbial mat communities in wetlands. Wetlands that experience short hydroperiods (i.e., <6 months with standing water) may cause macrophyte and microbial mat competition for water.

Metabolomics Revealed the Differential Metabolites of Different Broomcorn Millet Varieties in Shanxi
A total of 1119 metabolites were identified among different varieties of millet, including 16 major categories such as phenols, alkaloids, and phenylpropanoids. The main pathways of differences among different varieties of millet include tryptophan metabolism, purine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, etc. The grain color correlates with β‐carotene,
