Phenological periods can affect the growth of forage, single food source for grazing animals, and its nutrition stage animals rumen microbiota. The aim this study was to evaluate effects phenological (regreen vs. grassy) growing stages (hoggets (1.5 years old) rams (3 old)) on bacteria communities functions in Alpine Merion sheep. result showed that Alpha diversity indices ACE (p < 0.001), C...

Grazing exclusion (GE) has been widely considered as an effective avenue for restoring degraded grasslands throughout the world. GE, via modifying abiotic and biotic environments, inevitably affects phenological development. A five-year manipulative experiment was conducted in a Tibetan alpine meadow to examine the effects of GE on phenological processes and reproductive success. The study indi...

Uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) provide high temporal and spatial resolution information for crop health monitoring informed management decisions to improve yields. However, traditional in-season yield prediction methodologies are often inconsistent inaccurate due variations in soil types environmental factors. This study aimed identify the best phenological stage vegetation index (VI) estimatin...

knowledge on habitat characteristics and nature of regional vegetation inrangelands is a prerequisite for any planning and proper range management along withsustainable development of renewable natural resources. rangelands in southern andwestern highlands of kashan, iran are of good vegetation diversity but unfortunately,palatable and desirable species are endangered in recent years. this rese...

A challenge in phenology studies is understanding what constitutes phenological change amidst background variation. The majority of phenological studies have focussed on extracting critical points in the seasonal growth cycle, without exploiting the full temporal detail. The high degree of phenological variability between years demonstrates the necessity of distinguishing long term phenological...

Climatic warming is associated with organisms breeding earlier in the season than is typical for their species. In some species, however, response to warming is more complex than a simple advance in the timing of all life history events preceding reproduction. Disparities in the extent to which different components of the reproductive phenology of organisms vary with climatic warming indicate t...

Species respond to climate change in two dominant ways: range shifts in latitude or elevation and phenological shifts of life-history events. Range shifts are widely viewed as the principal mechanism for thermal niche tracking, and phenological shifts in birds and other consumers are widely understood as the principal mechanism for tracking temporal peaks in biotic resources. However, phenologi...

Questions: We asked several linked questions about phenology and precipitation relationships at local, landscape, and regional spatial scales within individual seasons, between seasons, and between year temporal scales. (1) How do winter and summer phenological patterns vary in response to total seasonal rainfall? (2) How are phenological rates affected by the previous season rainfall? (3) How ...
