Pollinators contribute to the establishment of perennial native forages, but little is known
about the effect of grazing practices on pollinator abundance and diversity in livestock …

Wild bees are important pollinators and monitoring their abundance and diversity is
necessary to develop conservation protocols. It is imperative to understand differences in …

Greater adoption and better management of spatially complex, conservation systems such
as agroforestry (AF) are dependent on determining methods suitable for delineating in-field …

Agroforestry systems (AFS) have the potential to foster long-term carbon sequestration and
nutrient uptake. Yet, information on sequestration rates is still scarce, especially for AFS in …

Grass root production and decomposition is a major source of C entering soils, although
rates are largely unknown based on edaphic and management factors. Therefore, study …

Understanding the effects of organic pasture management on the soil microbiome is
important for sustainable forage production since soil microbiome diversity contributes to …

Forage management and environmental conditions affect water soluble carbohydrate (WSC)
storage, and, in turn, influence ruminant forage utilization in silvopastoral systems. The …

Silvopasture systems combine tree and livestock production to minimize market risk and
enhance ecological services. Our objective was to explore and develop a method for …
