information on different rangeland plants’ nutritive values during variousphonological stages is of importance for the rangelands management. this information helpsrangeland managers to choose proper grazing times to achieve higher animal performancewith no detrimental effects on the rangeland vegetations. effects of various plant parts’phenological stages and vegetation types on reserve carboh...

the study of the exclosure effects on the vegetation changes undergrazing and non-grazing conditions in the rangeland areas has particularimportance in the rangeland improvement and revivification projects. theresearch was accomplished in semi-steppe khoybilehvar area, from 1999 to2005. vegetation cover was annually measured within fixed plots during transact.the results showed that during nine...

Soil legacies mediated by plant species-specific microbial communities are major drivers of community dynamics. Most soil legacy studies focus on the role pathogens and mutualists in driving these processes, while much less is known about litter-mediated changes to community. Here, we used an existing plant-soil feedback field experiment which with different growth strategies (i.e., fast versus...

The Arctic is experiencing rapid climate change. This research documents changes to tundra vegetation near Atqasuk and Utqiaġvik, Alaska. At each location, 30 plots were sampled annually from 2010 2019 using a point frame. For every encounter, we recorded the height classified it into eight groupings (deciduous shrubs, evergreen forbs, graminoids, bryophytes, lichens, litter, standing dead vege...

Abstract Expansion of global trade and acceleration climate change dramatically promote plant invasions. As a result, large number habitats harbor multiple invasive species. However, patterns interactions the drivers mediating their remain unclear. In this greenhouse, potted study, we tested impacts 18 species on growth target invader Erigeron canadensis which is dominant in central China. Neig...

The paper presents data on the indicators of livestock production, number farm animals and poultry in Tyumen region. characteristics significance near-village forage lands are given. studied assigned to forest-steppe lowland latitudinal-zonal area Kurgan province contain valuable species herbs: Calamagrostis epigejos, Bromopsis inermis, Festuca pratensis, Vicia villosa Roth, Trifolium rubens L....

Sustainable intensification will require the development of new management systems to support global food demands, whilst conserving integrity ecosystem functions. Here, we test and identify strategies maintain or enhance agricultural production in grasslands simultaneously supporting provision multiple services. Over four years, investigated how establishment three plant functional groups (gra...

We compared the phenotypic plasticity of two early successional forbs of nutrient-poor mobile dunes (Agriophyllum squarrosum and Corispermum macrocarpum) and two later successional forbs (weeds) of stabilized, higher nutrient dunes and cropland (Chenopodium acuminatum and Salsola collina) to variations in environmental factors. A controlled (including soil nutrients, water, and population densi...
