The role of grazing in creating suitable sward structures for breeding waders in agricultural landscapes

open access: yes, 2005
International audienceFrench wet grasslands support important populations of lapwings and others waders. Grazing management is a key issue in the use of grasslands by these birds since they are very sensitive to sward structure (height and heterogeneity).

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Oral Microalgae‐Laden Hydrogels Modulating the Intestinal Microbiota Metabolism for Acute Alcohol‐Induced Liver Injury Therapy

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A food‐grade microalgae‐laden hydrogel (FMH) enables efficient in situ microalgae cultivation and serves as an oral therapeutic platform for acute alcohol‐induced liver injury. FMH improves alcohol tolerance, alleviates oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid metabolic disorders, restores gut microbial homeostasis, and provides synergistic ...

Bidirectional Plant‐Microneedle Responses to Guide Biomaterial Design

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
We examine bidirectional interactions between plants and polymeric microneedles to develop effective compound delivery strategies. Material chemistry and architecture determine stability in the plant environment, cargo–matrix interactions, and the magnitude and duration of the plant response. Plant microneedles should therefore be designed as a coupled

Advances in research on layered double hydroxides for biomedical applications

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are pH‐responsive nanomaterials with broad biomedical applications. This review summarizes LDH synthesis methods and compares their advantages. It highlights LDHs' progress in cancer therapy, including chemo‐photothermal, chemo‐immunotherapy, and photodynamic‐immunotherapy combinations and their potential in bone repair.

The Independent Effects of Sward Height and Bulk Density on the Bite Parameters of Romney Ewes and Red Deer Hinds [PDF]

open access: yes
The independenl effects of sward height (I, 2, 3, 5 and 8 cm) x bulk density (0.65, 1.30, 2.90 mg DM/cm3) variation on the ingestive behaviour of Romney ewes and Red deer hinds were examined in seedling swards which simulated a leafy grass sward of low ...

Protective Effects of Bee Venom (Apis mellifera) Against Cadmium‐Induced Hepatorenal Toxicity, Oxidative Stress, and Anxiety‐Like Behavior in Rats

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent environmental heavy metal and a major public health concern because it persists in the body for long periods and gradually accumulates in vital organs, particularly the liver, kidneys, and brain. Chronic Cd exposure promotes the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately leads to ...

From Consumer Plastics to Aquatic Toxicants: Oxidative and Endocrine Effects of Microplastics on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) Larvae

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary microplastics (MPs) from single‐use consumer products are rapidly becoming one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants of our time. Freshwater systems act as early sinks for MPs where fragmentation and additive leaching expose aquatic life to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds.

Effect of sward height and vertical distribution of clover on performance of cashmere goats in autumn [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
To investigate the effect of sward height on liveweight change in goats grazing grass/white clover swards, an experiment was conducted from mid-August to mid-November with groups of non-lactating female cashmere goats that continuously grazed perennial ...
