Abstract Introduced pollinator species may exacerbate the problems faced by communities, so detection in 2006 of a new solitary bee, Anthidium manicatum, to New Zealand was concerning. We assess whether establishment this wool-carder bee presents potential risks native flora and fauna recording its current distribution, which plant it visits, insects co-occur at these plants, identifying territorial attacks. manicatum is now widespread urban Zealand. More than 80% plants visited A. were...
Management-intensive grazing, which is proposed to increase forage and animal productivity maintain soil integrity biodiversity, seen as an alternative meet 21st century agricultural environmental challenges. The purpose of this study was test the hypothesis that high levels trampling standing vegetation associated with mob grazing (a.k.a., ultrahigh stocking density) leads increased plant diversity productivity. A long-term experiment established on a subirrigated meadow in Nebraska...
Long‐term responses of pasture plant species to management strategies that vary amount and form N inputs a knowledge gap. Our objective was determine how supplementation grazing beef cattle ( Bos taurus ) with corn Zea mays L.) dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) in unfertilized (SUPP) affects annual herbage accumulation presence functional groups relative unsupplemented on (CONT) N‐fertilized (FERT) smooth bromegrass Bromus inermis Leyss.) pasture. We addressed this the sixth...
Abstract Smooth bromegrass is a commonly used cool‐season pasture grass that responds favorably to annual spring fertilization, but fertilizer applications require inputs of both time and expense. This study was conducted determine if interseeding legumes into established smooth viable alternative fertilization. Steers ( Bos taurus ) were rotationally grazed in either fertilized pastures or interseeded with legumes. Data collected on forage production, available at the beginning each grazing...
