Aqueous Leaching Prior to Dewatering Improves the Quality of Solid Fuels from Grasslands by Frank Hensgen, Michael Wachendorf

“…Combustion of biomass constitutes an efficient conversion technique, but is hindered by harmful elements which are frequently contained in residual grassland biomass. We investigated the effect of leaching on solid fuel quality with three independent experiments including the following treatments: (1) with or without leaching, (2) with leaching at various water to silage ratios and (3) with the use of press liquid versus fresh water. …”

No‐mow amenity grassland case study: Phenology of floral abundance and nectar resource by Kelly Hemmings, Rebecca Elton, Ian Grange

“…Land managers need to balance ecological benefits with extent of accessible amenity grassland. To pilot the identification of a ‘tipping point’ when the nectar resource of unmown grassland exceeds that mown, we surveyed floral abundance in 30 plots on an amenity grassland site at 11 time points between late April and July. …”

Water Uptake Patterns of Alfalfa under Winter Irrigation in Cold and Arid Grassland by Jiabin Wu, Heping Li, Jianming Niu, Tiejun Liu, Hexiang Zheng, Xiangtian Xu, Shu Miao

“…The environmental stress caused by low temperature and drought during the overwintering stage of forage is the key factor leading to this low yield. In cold and arid grassland, winter irrigation can effectively alleviate the stress of alfalfa during overwintering, improve the survival rate of alfalfa, and significantly increase the yield. …”
