Contribution of seed bank studies of our understanding of vegetation dynamics in subtropical grasslands Altogether, our results indicate that the regeneration potential of typical grassland species ...

Grazing is an important determinant for the composition and structure of grasslands; however, soil seed bank (SSB) response to grazing intensity is poorly investigated. We analyzed SSB richness and ...

With funding from the Mendocino County Farm Bureau and HREC, two PurpleAir Flex sensors were installed during a prescribed, grassland burn event at the Hopland REC property in October 2024. One sensor ...

Grasslands, once vibrant ecosystems teeming with diverse plant and animal life, are vanishing at an alarming rate. Land-use changes, urban expansion, and agricultural development have led to their ...

Grasslands go by many names. In the U.S. Midwest, they're often called prairies. In South America, they're known as pampas. Central Eurasian grasslands are referred to as steppes, while African ...

Grasslands — also known as prairies, steppes, pampas or savannas — are home to 25% of the world’s population and all kinds of plants and wildlife, including elephants, rhinos and lions.

Grasslands often fly under the radar when it comes to public awareness of their ecosystem services. While forests are well-known for their timber production, water regulation, climate impact, and ...

The most intriguing session I attended at this year’s AAAS meeting was led by Stanford ecologist José Fragoso. In it, Fragoso described how he and his colleagues are working with indigenous groups in ...

Lack of evidence-based studies on tropical grasslands make it difficult to determine which management regime works best for their restoration and rewilding. Protected Areas of India and Nepal are the ...
