The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing
Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a
large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ...
Antifungal activity of essential oil from Tunisian myrtle (Myrtus communis L.)
The objective of this study was to investigate the antifungal essential oil activity. The InVitro antifungal activity of myrtle essential oil against seven fungi allowed us to specify the corresponding minimum inhibition ...
Effects of Wolf Presence on Daily Travel Distance of Range Cattle
The presence of graywolves (Canis lupus) can directly and indirectly affect beef cattle (Bos taurus) production on rangelands of the Northern Rocky Mountains. While fairly extensive knowledge exists for the direct effects ...
Seasonal preference of Awassi sheep for Atriplex shrubs suitable for Mediterranean rangelands
The relative preference of Awassi sheep for four promising Atriplex species, A. halimus, A. nummularia, A. canescens and A. lentiformis was tested in cafeteria trials. Atriplex species were offered to sixteen sheep in ...
Seed germination behaviour as influenced by physical and chemical treatments in Grewia tenax (Forssk.)
Grewia tenax (Forssk.) Fiori is a multi-purpose shrub indigenous to Indian Thar desert. It grows naturally in the wastelands, rangelands and other uncultivated lands during the rainy season, and provides green fodder to ...
A reliable and non-destructive method for estimating forage shrub cover and biomass in arid environments using digital vegetation charting technique
Despite the importance of fodder shrubs to small ruminant diets and production in arid and semiarid ecosystems, they are often not considered when quantifying grazing land potential. This oversight is mainly due to the ...
