Mob grazing increases trampling but not litter deposition on a Nebraska Sandhills subirrigated meadow
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-06)
High cattle stocking densities may enhance trampling, litter deposition, and soil organic matter (OM) formation in grasslands. To test this, we measured aboveground vegetation production, standing live and dead mass before ...
Abundance and Diversity of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) as Affected by Grazing Management in the Nebraska Sandhills Ecosystem
(Entomological Society of America, 2021-02)
Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) serve a significant role in regulating ecosystem services on rangelands. However, the influence of grazing management on dung beetle communities remains largely unknown. The purpose ...
Dung beetles increase greenhouse gas fluxes from dung pats in a north temperate grassland
(American Society of Agronomy, 2019-05)
Soil fauna plays a critical role in various ecosystem processes, but empirical data measuring its impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from rangelands are limited. We quantified the effects of dung beetles on in situ ...
