Leaf canopy plays a determining role influencing source-sink relations as any change in
source activity (photosynthesis) affects sink metabolism. Defoliation (removal of leaves) …

The major aims of this study were, firstly, to analyse the grazing-induced steppe degradation
process and, secondly, to identify an efficient and sustainable grazing management system …

Water deficit is a hazardous threat to phytoremediation, while the photosynthetic efficiency of
plant leaves can rapidly recover after post-drought irrigation, thereby enhancing the root …

Among options for atmospheric CO2 removal, sequestering soil organic carbon (SOC) via
improved grazing management is a rare opportunity because it is scalable across millions of …

Mowing is a common practice in grassland management. It removes the majority of current
year's aboveground plant biomass and thus substantial amounts of nutrients residing in …

Large parts of the Earth are experiencing environmental change caused by alien plant
invasions, rising atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), and nutrient …

The prediction of future carbon (C) dynamics of grassland ecosystems requires knowledge
of how warming and management practices (eg, fertilization, grazing, and mowing) interact …

Dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) proteins are important transcription factors
in plant stress responses and signal transduction. Based on high-throughput sequencing …

Protected natural areas deserve the combination of nature uniqueness and conservation
willing. The foundation stone for National Parks is the awareness of that unique character …

Global warming and land-use change could have profound impacts on ecosystem carbon
(C) fluxes, with consequent changes in C sequestration and its feedback to climate change …
