Litter quality of C3 perennial grasses and soil inorganic nitrogen in a semi-arid rangeland of central Argentina
(elsevier, 2008-09)
The study was undertaken to quantify litter quality of six C3 perennial grasses and species effects on soil inorganic nitrogen (N) in a semiarid rangeland of central Argentina. Leaf litter and roots were analyzed for N, ...
Phenotypic plasticity as an index of drought tolerance in three Patagonian steppe grasses
(Oxford University Press, 2012-09)
Background and AimsDespite general agreement regarding the adaptive importance of plasticity, evidence for the role of environmental resource availability in plants is scarce. In arid and semi-arid environments, the ...
Perennial grasses of different successional stages under various soil water inputs: do they differ in root length density?
(Asociación Interciencia, Venezuela, 2007-03)
Information about root length density (RLD) on perennial grasses of different successional stages exposed to various soil water inputs is limited. The effects on RLD of different soil water inputs were evaluated in the ...
Yield and nutritive value of the silage of corn intercropped with tropical perennial grasses
(2017-01-01)
The objective of this work was to compare the yield and nutritive value of the silage of corn intercropped with palisade grass (Urochloa brizantha 'Marandu') or guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus 'Tanzânia') with those of ...
Plant functional composition affects soil processes in novel successional grasslands
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
Secondary succession may lead to novel, exotic-dominated community states differing in structure and function from the original native counterparts. We hypothesized that grassland soil processes associated with C and N ...
Effect of intercropped tropical perennial grasses on the production of sorghum-based silage
(2016-11-01)
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] intercropped with tropical grasses can be used in silage production systems to increase the dry matter yield per area, provide pasture after sorghum harvesting and improve land-use ...
Análisis de calidad de gramíneas forrajeras perennes de ciclo otoño-inverno-primaveral con tecnología NIRS = Analysis of nutritive value of perennial cool-season grasses using NIRS technology
(2016)
Las gramíneas perennes de ciclo otoño-invernoprimaveral (OIP) son un componente importante de las pasturas de la Región Pampeana, en cultivos puros o asociadas con alfalfa. Es importante conocer su valor nutritivo el cual ...
Germination of six native perennial grasses that can be used as potential soil cover crops in drip-irrigated vineyards in semiarid environs of Argentina
(2015-02)
Native desert plants have structural adaptations that maximize photosynthesis rates and minimize water loss. They can be successfully utilized as soil cover crops in drip-irrigated vineyards where water availability is ...
