Ensilability of the tropical grass 'Splenda' [PDF]
Irrigated C4 photosynthesis grasses are more productive than C3 grasses in portuguese hot season, due to better use of nitrogen, water, high temperatures and solar radiation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ensiling characteristics and limiting factors of ’Splenda’ (Setaria sphacelata var. sericea x S. sphacelata var. splendida).

Elephantgrass, a tropical grass for cutting and grazing
Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum. syn. Cenchrus purpureus) is one of the most important forage plants worldwide, cultivated in almost all tropical and subtropical regions due to its high potential for dry matter production, nutritional value, acceptability by different animal species and categories, vigor, and persistence.

Soil phosphorus dynamics as affected by Congo grass and P fertilizer
Some plant species can change soil phosphorus (P) availability and this may be an important tool in managing tropical high fixing phosphorus soils. An experiment was conducted to evaluate phosphorus transformations in the soil and phosphatase activity ...

Spread of African Pasture Grasses to the American Tropics [PDF]
The once limitless forests of humid tropical America are rapidly being converted to grasslands. Areas newly cleared of selva or montania are cropped for a few years, then planted to perennial African grasses to form "artificial" pastures. These generally have been aggressively colonizing species, readily disseminated either by seed or cutting, and they

Effect of cutting management and nitrogen supply on yield and quality of Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) [PDF]
In a series of cutting experiments, average apparent nitrogen recovery of applied fertilizer N by Napier grass was approximately 50%. Incorporation of cattle manure improved nitrogen utilization.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.
