Biomass and forage nutritive value of spring‐planted cover crops in a semiarid region

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
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.

Hydrology drives facilitative and competitive strategies in freshwater macrophyte and microbial communities

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
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.

SWITCHGRASS CULTIVATION ON RECLAIMED M INELAND W ITH SOME AMENDMENTS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Reclaimed mining rocks can be potential lands for biofuel feedstock production. Minelands are considered marginal because they often have low organic matter contents and adverse soil physical and chemical characteristics.

Metabolomics Revealed the Differential Metabolites of Different Broomcorn Millet Varieties in Shanxi

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
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,

Impact of Irrigation Treatment and Sowing Time on Lipoxygenase Activity and Seed Quality of Australian Sweet Lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.)

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The work aimed to demonstrate the impact of sowing time (2022 trial) and irrigation (2023 trial) on the expression of lipoxygenase (LOX) activity and crude protein and fat contents in five varieties of Australian sweet lupin or narrow‐leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) and to investigate the relationship of LOX with linoleic acid and 2,2 ...
