Variation in Elevation and Sward Height Facilitate Coexistence of Goose Species through Allometric Responses in Wetlands

open access: yesWaterbirds (De Leon Springs, Fla.), 2016
. Allometric scaling law predicts that herbivores respond differently to the availability of resources, mediated by body size. However, studies of allometric responses have often focused on animals with a relatively large difference in body size.

Does intensive goose grazing affect breeding waders?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Increasing goose population sizes gives rise to conflicts with human socioeconomic interests and in some circumstances conservation interests. Grazing by high abundances of geese in grasslands is postulated to lead to a very short and homogeneous sward ...

Relações planta-animal em ambiente pastoril heterogêneo: processo de ingestão de forragem Plant-animal relationships in pastoral heterogeneous environment: process of herbage intake

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2009
Com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da estrutura de uma pastagem nativa nos parâmetros que compõem o processo de ingestão de forragem de ovelhas e bezerras em pastejo, foram estabelecidas quatro alturas de pasto (4, 8, 12 e 16 cm), em delineamento ...

Effect of breed and sward height on sheep performance and production per hectare during the spring and autumn in Northern Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Effects of breed and sward surface height on ewe liveweight and body condition changes and on lamb liveweight gains during grazing in the spring and autumn were studied. The output per hectare in each season was also calculated.

Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.

An In Situ Embedded B‐MOF Sponge With Shape‐Memory for All‐in‐One Diabetic Wound Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A smart shape‐memory sponge dressing (P1A3@B‐MOF) is developed for accelerated diabetic wound healing. It achieves pH‐responsive corelease of Zn2+ and salvianolic acid B, synergistically providing antibacterial action, repolarizing macrophages to the M2 phenotype, and promoting angiogenesis.

Sward structure management for a maximum short-term intake rate in annual ryegrass. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This study tested the hypothesis that different sward structures, which were constructed by varying the pre- and post-grazing sward heights of annual ryegrass pasture (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) in southern Brazil, affect the short-term intake rate (STIR ...

Nb2C‐Reinforced Hydrogel Microneedle as Dual ROS‐Scavenging Platform to Promote Diabetic Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An advanced microneedle patch integrating niobium carbide nanosheets and curcumin is engineered for diabetic wound healing. The system enables dual ROS scavenging and NIR‐enhanced antimicrobial activity, effectively rebalancing the oxidative microenvironment, promoting macrophage repolarization and angiogenesis, and accelerating full‐thickness wound ...

Bi-cropping fodder maize in an existing (grass)clover sward [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Organic cultivation of fodder maize is still considered to be difficult. Weed pressure, soil structure degradation during harvest and low nutrient efficiency are some of the common problems.

Productivity and forage quality of a phytodiverse semi-natural grassland under various management regimes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Grassland management experiment (GrassMan) was set up in 2008 on a permanent semi-natural grassland in the Solling uplands, Germany. The main research focus is on the ecosystem functioning of the phytodiverse grassland (e.g.
