Comparison between tropical legumes and natural grasses in improving tropical rainforest soil health: a case study in guava (Psidium Guajava L.) orchards

BMC Plant Biology
Tropical rainforest soils, or latosols, are distinguished by their low pH and low fertility. In orchards, co-cultivating grass has become popular as a way to improve soil quality and boost fruit production.

Decoding Forage-Driven Microbial–Metabolite Patterns: A Multi-Omics Comparison of Eight Tropical Silage Crops

Fermentation
Tropical forage crops vary widely in biochemical composition, resulting in inconsistent silage quality. Understanding how plant traits shape microbial and metabolic networks during ensiling is crucial for optimizing fermentation outcomes.

Growth and nutritional evaluation of napier grass hybrids as forage for ruminants

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2016
Napier grass is a perennial, tropical C-4 grass that can produce large amounts of forage. However, low temperatures and drought stress limit its productivity and nutritive value as a forage.

Investigating the Impact of El Niño–Southern Oscillation on Rangeland Productivity in the Limpopo Province, South Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study investigated ENSO effects on rainfall variability and rangeland productivity across Limpopo Province, South Africa, using DMP and ONI data for 1999–2024. Productivity was higher in eastern and southern regions and lower in northern and western regions.

Dental enamel hypoplasia and intra‐tooth isotope records as indicators of physiological stress and environmental variability in Early Pleistocene hippopotamids from Melka Kunture (Upper Awash, Ethiopia)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enamel hypoplasia results from temporary disruptions of enamel deposition during tooth development. It is widely used as an indicator of physiological stress in archeological and paleontological contexts; yet, its relationship with environmental conditions during tooth formation remains poorly constrained.

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...
