Airborne spores in pastures

Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1975
Between 1962 and 1964, fungus spores were trapped periodically from pastures of different types at Rothamsted and from those elsewhere on which animals had been affected by grass sickness or photosensitization. Usually, catches were greatest between June and August with Cladosporium predominant, accounting for up to 98% of the total.

Pasture Plant’s Dataset

Data
Identifying the plant species comprising a pasture, among other aspects, is crucial for assessing its nutritional value for grazing animals and facilitating its effective management. Traditionally, it requires labor-intensive visual inspection. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a solution for automatic classification, yet robust datasets for training

Effect of Varying Dairy Cow Size and Live Weight on Soil Structure and Pasture Attributes

Grazing systems’ production efficiency is a dynamic interaction between soil, pasture, livestock, and climate. The magnitude of the changes is related to the mechanical stress applied by the livestock and their feeding behaviour. In Southern Chile,
