Bermudagrass Production in Florida by Carrol G. Chambliss, Freddie A. Johnson

“… The improved hybrid bermudagrasses (Cynodon dactylon L.) are used for both hay and grazing. Coastal was the first hybrid bermudagrass developed at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, Georgia, and was released in 1943. …”

Managing Bahiagrass in Hybrid Bermudagrass Pastures by Brent A. Sellers, Jason A. Ferrell

“…The popularity of bahiagrass in Florida can be attributed to its drought tolerance, low fertility requirements, and persistence even under heavy grazing. Although bahiagrass is an important forage species, it can be a serious weed problem for those wishing to produce high-quality bermudagrass hay. …”

Forage Grasses for Florida's Organic Soils by Joao Vendramini, Philipe Moriel, Lindsey Wiggins

“…In the past, the combination of potentially high forage yields on the fertile organic soils and the long grazing season were the basis for one of the highest concentrations of beef cattle and a viable beef cattle industry in Florida. …”

Quantitative Analysis of Driving Factors of Grassland Degradation: A Case Study in Xilin River Basin, Inner Mongolia by Yichun Xie, Zongyao Sha

“…Based on the analysis of satellite vegetation maps from 1984, 1998, and 2004 for the Xilin River Basin, Inner Mongolia, China, and binary logistic regression (BLR) analysis, we observe the following: (1) grassland degradation is positively correlated with the growth density of climax communities; (2) our findings do not support a common notion that a decrease of biological productivity is a direct indicator of grassland degradation; (3) a causal relationship between grazing intensity and grassland degradation was not found; (4) degradation severity increased steadily towards roads but showed different trends near human settlements. …”

The NW German Heathland: A Threatened Landscape? by Norbert Fischer, Hansjörg Küster

“…In the early modern period, extensive areas of heathland were created in north-west Germany, mainly through deforestation and subsequent grazing. This meant that the people living here had to practise a special shortage or wasteland economy. …”

EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT SIMULATION OF A TWO-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM ELASTIC COLLISION VIBRATION SYSTEM WITH GAPS by ZHU Xifeng, FU Wenbin, MA Shuo, ZHENG Dong

“…A two-degree-of-freedom collision system with gap and elastic constraint was used as the research object, and the regional distribution and transitions of the periodic motion of the system under low frequency conditions were studied by numerical simulation.It was obtained that with the decrease of excitation frequency, the <italic>p</italic>/1 periodic motion occurs with grazing bifurcation transitions to （<italic>p</italic>+1）/1 periodic motion.When the number of collisions was large enough, the Chattering-impact characteristics were presented.Then a circuit model that was completely equivalent to the collision system was established and simulation experiments were carried out.The results show that the results generated by establishing the equivalent circuit are consistent with those generated by numerical simulations, and the equivalent circuit is more efficient in simulation experiments, which can realize fast modal transitions and parameter adjustments，making it more convenient and providing a research method for the study of nonlinear dynamics.…”

Management and sustainability of ground-mounted solar parks requires consideration of vegetation succession as an omnipresent process by Markus Zaplata

“…Instead of relying exclusively on labour-intensive and costly mowing, managers can make use of grazing animals. In this way, simply anticipating the ecological succession process and taking it into account when planning and managing a solar park can boost overall sustainability. …”

Bœufs gaulois et bœufs français : morphologies animales et dynamiques économiques au cours de La Tène et des périodes historiques by Colin Duval, Benoît Clavel

“…From the first decrease in livestock size as a consequence of domestication, to growth between the Iron Age and the Roman period, and small individuals during the Middle Ages to the heavy Charolais breeds currently grazing in our pastures, this study aims to link cattle morphology and economic variations in order to improve our vision of French pastoral history, based on archaeozoological remains. …”
