Any examples of coordinated & distributed (e.g. NutNet like) grazing 🐮 manipulation experiments (not descriptions of multiple ranches) in grassland & measuring SOC (besides networks of exclosures)? Was 🤔 there must be some in China, Australia, etc.?
Today, April 6th 2024, Our Phunfetty Lab members led by our PI @nick_greg_smith were at the NutNet site, Lubbock-USA. It was fun broadcasting NPK fertilizer in a high wind speed.
#NutNet sampling of bogong.au site. Year 17 now! Obvious differences in alpine grasslands with NPK addition . Complete switch in dominance from Soft Snowgrass to Ledge grass with nutrients, and much lower species richness
Today we @RemoteSenSNP @remote_gianni completed our annual multispectral drone flight over the breathtaking alpine #NutNet site in the Val Müstair ! The data will be used to assess the capabilities of UAV data for monitoring plant diversity @MichelaPerr1 @AnitaRisch
Eskelinen et al. show that nutrient addition decreases grassland seed bank diversity, increases seed bank similarity to aboveground communities, and interacts with aboveground herbivory to affect their abundance.
