A study led by the UAB and the CREAF shows that the loss of nitrogen from Arctic soil not only deprives plants of a vital ...

The paper, “Aridity modulates grassland biomass responses to combined drought and nutrient addition,” will be published May 19 in Nature Ecology & Evolution.

Interactions among nutrients govern the global grassland biomass–precipitation relationship. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2025; 122 (15) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2410748122 ...

U.S. bison play a vital role in shaping grassland ecosystems by naturally maintaining plant diversity, improving soil health, and supporting wildlife. Their grazing patterns prevent overgrowth ...

Grassland restoration plays an important role in maintaining an ecological balance and promoting sustainable land use. As environmental challenges mount, understanding the goals, methods and obstacles ...

The research results show that from 2020 to 2022, the carbon emissions from the biomass burning or the global vegetation fires amounted to as high as 2.59 billion tons per year.

Key benefits Undisturbed prairies are also beneficial. Grasslands are excellent, resilient carbon sinks and sequester approximately 30% of global carbon emissions, helping moderate climate and ...

Grasslands and croplands comprised over 67% of Ireland’s terrestrial and transitional ecosystems in 2018 according to the latest publication of data by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The CSO has ...

Summary: In this manuscript, Yan et al. assess the effect of two facets of habitat fragmentation (i.e., habitat loss and habitat fragmentation per se) on biodiversity, ecosystem function, and the ...

Seeking to eliminate cattle from our diet fails to recognise that herd animals have played a critical role in grasslands ecosystems for hundreds of thousands of years.
