Automated head chamber systems (AHCS) are increasingly deployed to measure enteric emissions in vivo. However, guidance for AHCS-derived emissions data analyses pertains to confined settings, such as feedlots, with less instruction for grazing system...

Ozonation of irrigation water is a promising technology that improves the efficiency of irrigation systems. However, it is necessary to investigate the potential adverse effects of the continuous application of this technology on pastures, particular...

Plant diversity plays an important role in shaping the carbon cycling of grassland ecosystems. However, differences in the diversity effect on aboveground and belowground carbon storage remains unclear at specific spatiotemporal scales. A transplant...

The objective was to evaluate the effect of supplementation during three seasons (autumn, winter, and spring) on the productive and reproductive performance of Nellore heifers grazing on Mombaça grass. A total of 28 Nellore heifers were subjec...

Current management paradigms suggest deferring grazing rangeland for two years post-fire to avoid additional stress on native grass species, but there is little research supporting these recommendations. This study was conducted within and adjacent t...

To support the ambitious bioeconomy vision outlined in Ireland’s Bioeconomy Action Plan, there is an urgent need to bring together the necessary stakeholders required to implement this vision. Farmers and other primary producers who oversee the...

The efficient use of water resources is a growing priority in multiple sectors, including the turfgrass industry. Nanobubbles (NB) represent an innovative technology that, by enriching solutions with various gases, offers significant benefits in seve...

Dormant forage is generally understood to be low-quality, but how and why it changes over the dormant season have not been well studied. Therefore, this study evaluated the changes in the forage quality of bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicat...

Soil compaction impedes root exploration by plants, which limits access to nutrients and water, ultimately compromising survival. The capability of roots to penetrate hard soils is therefore advantageous. While root penetration has been studied in va...

Recently, turfgrass has received scrutiny from the public in many parts of the United States due to the misconception that it has limited benefits and has negative impacts on the environment. These negative impacts are often associated with water and...

Prosopis glandulosa (Mesquite), an invasive alien tree species, poses major threats to soil health, native vegetation, and biodiversity in South African rangelands. The negative impacts of Prosopis on socio-economic, environmental, and ecological res...

Semi-arid regions present edaphoclimatic limitations for forage production, primarily affecting plant growth and development. Crops adapted to such conditions, like forage sorghum, and nutritional supplementation with nitrogen and molybdenum, can inc...
