DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9532
Abstract: Abstract Butterflies and bees contribute significantly to grassland biodiversity and play important roles as pollinators and herbivores. Grassland conservation and management must be seen through the lens of insect conservation and management if these species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2021.107233
Abstract: Abstract Intensification of agricultural management practices, including irrigation and addition of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, can lead to enhanced N leaching and loss of soil fertility. In New Zealand, expansion of the dairy industry has rapidly… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4272303
Abstract: Soils in semiarid riparian ecosystems have large carbon (C) stocks that promote water and nutrient availability for productive plant communities consumed by grazing animals. Changes to riparian hydrologic conditions caused by channel incision result in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agronomy13051366
Abstract: Grasslands are at risk of degradation due to unsustainable management practices and climate change. Here, we review the principal soil quality indicators (SQIs) to evaluate the sustainability of different grassland management practices globally. We discuss… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su12208676
Abstract: We explored the effects of heterogeneity of sward height on the functioning of grazing systems through a spatially implicit mechanistic model of grazing and sward growth. The model uses a population dynamic approach where a… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-2018-531
Abstract: Abstract. Grassland covers more than a third of the earth's terrestrial surface. Grazing management can affect grassland carbon dynamics and soil microbial biomass, yet limited information is available on the effects of grassland management on… read more here.
