As an important natural resource, forest land plays a key role in the maintenance of ecological security. However, variations agropastoral ecotone northern China (AENC) have attracted little attention. Taking AENC as example and based on remote-sensing images from 2000, 2010 to 2020, we explored spatiotemporal variation its driving factors using land-use transfer matrix, spatial autocorrelation...

Between 2005 and 2006, a cross-sectional survey was carried out in domestic ruminants in agropastoral communities of Serengeti district, Tanzania to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis in domestic-wildlife interface villages. Both the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and Competitive Enzyme Linked-immunosorbent Assay (c-ELISA) were used to analyse 82 human and 413 livestock sera from four r...

Studying the responses of soil respiration (Rs) to soil management changes is critical for enhancing our understanding of the global carbon cycle and has practical implications for grassland management. Therefore, the objectives of this study were (1) quantify daily and seasonal patterns of Rs, (2) evaluate the influence of abiotic factors on Rs, and (3) detect the effects of soil management ch...
