Assessing forage mass using smartphone imagery for cereal rye under grazing conditions in Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Managing grazing efficiency requires reliable and practical tools to estimate forage mass. Traditional methods like clipping, though accurate, are time consuming and labor intensive. In this study, two imaging tools, Canopeo and the Crop Canopy Image Analyzer (CCIA), were evaluated for their efficacy in estimating the forage mass of cereal rye

Building Resilience: Empowering Agro‐Pastoralists Against Climate Variability in Laikipia, Kenya

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant challenges for agricultural systems in Africa, particularly affecting agro‐pastoral communities dependent on crops and livestock for their livelihoods. This study investigates the impact of adaptation strategies on climate resilience among agro‐pastoral communities in Laikipia County, Kenya. It applies the Food

Toward a methodological toolkit to mitigate the evaluator's dilemma: Assessing pastoralist rangelands management in Northern Tanzania

Conservation Science and Practice
Biodiversity conservation is a “crisis discipline,” with funds often directed toward urgent needs rather than evaluations. Accordingly, researchers tasked with an impact evaluation in conservation can face the evaluator's dilemma: determining the ...

Vegetation, Water Infiltration, and Soil Carbon Responses to Adaptive Multi‐Paddock and Conventional Grazing in Northern Great Plains, USA, Ranches

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Adaptive Multi‐Paddock (AMP) grazing involves alternating short‐duration, high‐intensity grazing with extended recovery periods. It offers the potential to regenerate degraded rangelands while enhancing productivity. We compared vegetation, soil carbon, and water infiltration responses between nine matched pairs of ranches in North and South ...

Independent and interactive effects of disease and methylmercury on demographic rates across multiple amphibian populations

Scientific Reports
Disease, alone or combined with other stressors such as habitat loss and contaminants, affects wildlife populations worldwide. However, interactions among stressors and how they affect demography and populations remain poorly understood.
