Integrating livestock and cropping systems: Interseeding cereal rye into corn for grazing

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Interseeding annual forages into growing corn may be an alternative for both cover and grazing in temperate regions of the United States. A 4‐year experiment evaluated the effect of interseeding cereal rye (Secale cereale) into corn for grazing after harvest on corn grain, forage biomass yield and quality, soil health, and estimated spatial ...

Understanding the effects of livestock grazing on dryland plant communities within the context of abiotic variability

open access: yesEcosphere
Drylands, which cover more than 40% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, face rising agricultural demand and the influence of climate change. Understanding how livestock grazing pressure and local climate affect these environments is pivotal for informed ...

Testing Wisconsin P index assessments across cropping systems

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing agricultural runoff phosphorus (P) often requires understanding management effects on both dissolved P (DP) and particulate (sediment‐bound) P (PP). The Wisconsin P index (WPI) allows producers to assess land management effects on runoff P by estimating annual P losses in mass per unit area.
