UAVs unveil the role of small scale vegetation structure on wader nest survival

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Several ground‐nesting wader species rely on Baltic coastal meadows for breeding. Drastic reduction in the area of the habitat at the end of the 20th century has been followed by habitat restoration activities over the last 20 years.

Piata palisadegrass deferred in the fall: effects of initial height and nitrogen in the sward structure

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mass of the forage and of the morphological components, and the sward structure in Piata palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Piata) deferred in function of different initial heights and nitrogen levels.

Forage Production and Sward Structure Dynamics of Tall Fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) Pasture Grazed to Different Sward Heights

Agronomy
Sward structure and post-grazing heights (SH) significantly influence plant growth and animal intake, crucial for dairy grazing systems. However, these interactions are dynamic and vary with season, resource heterogeneity, and defoliation patterns. Seasonal effects of control (TC), medium (TM), and lax (TL) post-grazing SH of grazed Lolium arundinaceum-
