Plant‐Pollinator Interactions in Grasslands Established on Arable Land [PDF]
We compared plant‐pollinator networks in newly established and old, permanent grasslands in a Central European agricultural landscape. Newly established grasslands showed higher pollinator visitation frequency and diversity per plant species, especially for solitary bees and syrphids, with a comparable network structure to old grasslands.

Direct amplification of nodD from community DNA reveals the genetic diversity of Rhizobium leguminosarum in soil [PDF]
Sequences of nodD, a gene found only in rhizobia, were amplified from total community DNA isolated from a pasture soil. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers used, Y5 and Y6, match nodD from Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii, R. leguminosarum

Plant phenology is key to plant and ecosystem functioning. Its responses to multiple interacting global change factors are still poorly understood. In a managed montane grassland, warming and elevated CO2 accelerated the spring development of species, while summer drought constrained their regrowth after cutting and advanced senescence.

Influence of clover species in mixtures with grasses on fatty acid composition of mixtures [PDF]
White clover (WC, Trifolium repens L.) or red clover (RC, Trifolium pratense L.) was grown in mixture with grasses. Samples of the mixtures and pure clovers were taken during three cuts, and the fatty acids (FA) compositions were determined.

Contrasting drought responses in two grassland plant–microbe systems under climate change
By contrasting two plant strategies across a soil‐moisture gradient under warming and elevated CO2, this study shows how drought and climate jointly shape plant performance and associated microbiomes. The stress‐tolerant Festuca rubra responds through trait plasticity and flexible bacterial communities, whereas the competitive Lolium perenne relies ...

Isopod feces–mediated shifts in germination timing enhance seedling establishment
Summary Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory because their defenses are underdeveloped and their capacity to tolerate damage is limited. However, how seedlings cope with such threats remains poorly understood. Animal feces may provide important chemical cues that influence plant responses to herbivory.

The effects of nitrate nitrogen and phosphate on the nodulation and nitrogen fixation of white cliver (Trifolium repens L.): a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Massey University [PDF]
It is a well established fact that the presence of nitrate ions can depress nodule development on legume roots, but recent studies in Queensland (Gates, 1970) have shown that this sensitivity can be ameliorated if phosphate levels are maintained at a ...
