Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]
, 2015 Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Some Effects of a Rotational Grazing Treatment on Cattle Grazing Behavior [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1989 Research was conducted on the effects of rotational grazing (RG) compared to continuous grazing (CG) on the behavior of cattle grazing on rangelands. Different livestock dent distance walked (km/day), and individual animal space (m2/animrl) in grazing subherds.

Embracing inherent and imposed sources of heterogeneity in rangeland bird management
Ecosphere, 2022 Rangeland simplification is a global threat to biodiversity. Historically, rangelands exhibited varied vegetation structure, which provided a diverse wildlife habitat.

The impact of rotational grazing on biomass characteristics in boreal alluvial meadows [PDF]
Journal of Central European AgricultureNorthern Boreal alluvial meadows are semi-natural habitats that require extensive management. They also have lower productivity as compared to cultivated grasslands. The subsidies for keeping meadow habitats open are currently activity-based, not results-

Wafer‐Scale Synthesis of Mithrene and its Application in UV Photodetectors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A controlled tarnishing step on the silver surface precedes the solid‐vapor‐phase chemical transformation into silver phenylselenolate thin films. The approach yields crystals exceeding 1 µm with improved in‐plane orientation. Integration on graphene phototransistors demonstrates high photoresponsivity, positioning mithrene as a promising material for ...

Grassland management and helminth control on cattle farms [PDF]
, 2017 Farmers manage their pastures and grazing animals primarily to ensure that swards provide adequate, quality nutrients to support animal performance, but it is also possible to provide useful levels of parasite control without compromising production.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In situ monitoring of bulk photoalignment reveals how molecular weight, azobenzene content, cooling rate, and thickness govern ordering in main‐chain liquid crystalline polymers. Optimized copolymers exceed conventional thickness limits, maintaining stable alignment up to 130 µm with high energy efficiency and reversible optical patterning.

Mesoporous Carbon Thin Films with Large Mesopores as Model Material for Electrochemical Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mesoporous carbon thin films possessing 70 nm mesopores are prepared on titanium substrates by soft templating of resol resins with a self‐synthesized poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(hexyl acrylate) block copolymer. A strategy to avoid corrosion of the metal substrate is presented, and the films are extensively characterized in terms of morphology ...
