Relationship between Temperate Grass Sward Characteristics and the Grazing Behavior of Dairy Heifers
Sward architecture mediates ruminant grazing behavior in temperate grazing lands. Temperate grasses differ in their sward structure, which may influence the grazing behavior of cattle.

The influence of forest regrowth, original canopy cover and tree size on saproxylic beetles associated with old oaks [PDF]
Abandoned management has caused many sites with free-standing, large oaks (Quercus robur) to become more shaded. This study shows how forest regrowth affects beetle species associated with old oaks in south-eastern Sweden. Beetles were trapped by pitfall

Effect of Bambara nut and cowpea intercropped with maize at different times on nutritive quality of maize for ruminant feeding [PDF]
Effects of Bambara nut and cowpea planted with maize at different times on nutritive quality of maize forage were investigated. The study was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design and the treatments were combination of crop types (Bambara nut-maize (

Characterizing the phosphorus forms extracted from soil by the Mehlich III soil test
Phosphorus (P) can limit crop production in many soils, and soil testing is used to guide fertilizer recommendations. The Mehlich III (M3) soil test is widely used in North America, followed by colorimetric analysis for P, or by inductively coupled ...
