Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Evolutionary patterns and structural divergence of CENH3 in legumes: Implications for haploid induction breeding

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
From structure to application: evolutionary insights and genome editing strategies for CENH3‐mediated haploid induction in legumes. Abstract Background The centromeric histone variant CENH3 is crucial for chromosome segregation and haploid induction in plants, yet its evolutionary patterns in legumes remain poorly characterized. Methods We investigated

Effect of Pasture Height on the Development of Free-Living Stages of Haemonchus contortus and Haemonchus placei

Ruminants
Haemonchus contortus and Haemonchus placei infect different species of ruminants, but when small ruminants and cattle share the same pasture, cross-infections can occur.

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...

Facilitators and Barriers of Adolescent Self‐Disclosure Across Different Confidants: A Multi‐Informant Mixed Methods Study

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent self‐disclosure is essential for relationship building, receiving support and mental well‐being. However, little is known about whom adolescents confide in and what factors facilitate or hinder this process. Method In this mixed methods multi‐informant study, twelve Dutch adolescents (Mage = 18.3, 66.6% girls) and their
