Composition and functioning of arctic soil fungal communities may alter rapidly due to the ongoing trends warmer temperatures, shifts in nutrient availability, shrub encroachment. In addition, also be intrinsically shaped by heavy grazing, which locally induce an ecosystem change that couples with increased temperature nutrients where encroachment is less likely occur than lightly grazed condit...

We study mutual dissociation of heavy nuclei in peripheral collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. Earlier this process was proposed for beam luminosity monitoring via simultaneous registration of forward and backward neutrons in zero degree calorimeters at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Electromagnetic dissociation of heavy ions is considered in the framework of the Weizsäcker-Williams met...

Y the turn of the century, the Edwards Plateau region of Texas had developed into a major livestock area (27). Continuous, heavy grazing by domestic livestock and the prevention of natural fires since that time have significantly changed the vegetative complex (15, 16). Long-term, excessive removal of vegetation on the plateau by grazing animals reduced the protective herbaceous cover, broke do...

Known as the “roof of world”, Tibetan Plateau hosts largest pastoral alpine ecosystem in world. Nevertheless, there is currently no consensus on how soil organic carbon (SOC) stock changes after livestock grazing grassland this region. Here, a meta-analysis was performed based 55 published studies to quantify grazing-induced SOC (0–30 cm) Plateau. The results showed that significantly increased...

Many benefits have been obtained from rotational grazing, including management flexibility and livestock distribution, but long-term positive effects on plant and animal production have been inconsistent. The purpose of this case study was to investigate nutrient intake of animals in 2 production scale graxing treatments. The study site was the Texas Experimental Ranch located in Throckmorton C...

A 2-yr study (200 steers/yr) was conducted to evaluate effects of grazing management and sorting by BW at feedlot entry on performance and economics of yearling steers. At receiving, steers (247 ± 21 kg) were randomly allotted to 1 of 2 treatments: low (0.75 kg/d, NORM) or high (0.90 kg/d, INT) gains during backgrounding. After wintering, NORM and INT grazed native range for 128 and 78 d, respe...
