Grazing as an Optimization Process: Grass-Ungulate Relationships in the Serengeti
TL;DR: Experiments in Tanzania's Serengeti National Park showed that net above-ground primary productivity of grasslands was strongly regulated by grazing intensity in wet-season concentration areas of the large ungulate fauna, suggesting that conventional definitions of overgrazing may be inapplicable to these native plant-herbivore systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does herbivory benefit plants? A review of the evidence
TL;DR: Although herbivores may benefit certain plants by reducing competition or removing senescent tissue, no convincing evidence supports the theory that herbivory benefits grazed plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Uniform, Objective, and Adaptive System for Expressing Rice Development
TL;DR: This work proposes a rice developmental staging system divided into three main phases of development: seedling, vegetative, and reproductive, and assigns rice growth stages based on discrete morphological criteria to result in unambiguous growth-stage determination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Describing and Quantifying Growth Stages of Perennial Forage Grasses
Kenneth J. Moore,Lowell E. Moser,Kenneth P. Vogel,Steven S. Waller,Blaine Earl Johnson,Jeffrey F. Pedersen +5 more
TL;DR: A system for identifying and quantifying the stages of growth and development of perennial forage grasses was developed and a universal set of morphological descriptors for forage and range grasses and a continuous numerical index was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A trade-off between scale and precision in resource foraging.
TL;DR: Measurements of dry matter partitioning and growth in patchy conditions indicate a consistent positive association between the foraging characteristics of roots and shoots, supporting the hypothesis of strong interdependence of competitive abilities for light and mineral nutrients.
