Vegetation Response to Increasing Stocking Rate under Rotational Stocking [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1997
This 10-year study was designed to evaluate vegetation response to increasing stocking rates under rotational stocking (3 days graze, 51 days rest) and long-term rest. The 4 stocking rate treatments ranged from the recommended rate for moderate continuous grazing to 2.7 times the recommended rate. Common curly-mesquite [Hilaria belangeri (Steud.) Nash]

Heavy grazing reduced the spatial heterogeneity of Artemisia frigida in desert steppe

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Grazing disturbance plays an important role in the desert steppe ecosystem in Inner Mongolia, China. Previous studies found that grazing affected the spatial distribution of species in a community, and showed patchiness characteristics of ...

DO STOCK MARKET FLUCTUATIONS AFFECT SUICIDE RATES? [PDF]

Journal of Financial Research, 2020
AbstractIn this study, we extend the standard economic model of suicide by considering a new influential factor driving the voluntary death rate. Using an international sample, we estimate the model and document a robust and significant inverse relation between stock market returns and the percentage increase in suicide rates. Trends in male and female

Sustainable fisheries in shallow lakes: an independent empirical test of the Chinese mitten crab yield model [PDF]

, 2017
Next to excessive nutrient loading, intensive aquaculture is one of the major anthropogenic impacts threatening lake ecosystems. In China, particularly in the shallow lakes of mid-lower Changjiang (Yangtze) River, continuous overstocking of the Chinese ...

Confinement and semi confinement of lambs in an integrated production system: impacts on production performance, infection by gastrointestinal nematodes, and selected blood analytes [PDF]

Ciência Rural
: This trial evaluated the production performance, gastrointestinal nematode infection (GIN), and selected blood analytes, in Corriedale lambs during the finishing phase in an integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) with 2 stocking rates.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Relationship between stocking rate and production of stocker hybrid tilapia and water quality in a mixtotrophic biofloc system

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
Intensified production of stocker‐size tilapia can be accomplished using the biofloc technology production system. Stocker‐size tilapia (ca. 10–200 g/fish) are raised for subsequent stocking for grow‐out to market size.
