Silvopastoral Systems Enhance Soil Quality in Grasslands of Colombia by Judith Martínez, Yasmín S. Cajas, Juan D. León, Nelson W. Osorio

“…The results show that the trees in the silvopastoral systems increased or maintained soil pH values and nutrient availability (phosphorus, potassium, and calcium) with respect to the pastures with only grasses. The effects were significantly controlled by the types of plant species, particularly Guazuma ulmifolia and Cassia grandis.…”

Effects of close-to-nature forest management on carbon stocks in Pinus tabulaeformis plantations in northern China by Jinmei Xu, Huiling Tian, Jun Xiao, Zhaochen Li, Wenfa Xiao, Runsheng Yin

“…The results showed under close-to-nature management and no human intervention, the amounts of carbon stocks of P. tabulaeformis plantations were similarly ranked (soil > trees > litter > grasses > shrubs), and the trees, vegetation, and ecosystem carbon stocks of P. tabuliformis plantations increased significantly with stand age (p < 0.05). …”

Removal of Nonmyrmecochorous Seeds by Ants: Role of Ants in Cattle Grasslands by Selene Escobar-Ramírez, Sebastián Duque, Natalia Henao, Alejandra Hurtado-Giraldo, Inge Armbrecht

“…Livestock production models prevailing in Colombian Andes are simplified treeless pastures for extensive ranching, with the consequent reduction of environmental services, such as seed dispersal, due to lack of primary dispersers, scarcity of adequate sites for seedling establishment and competition with grasses. This study evaluated if, in these harsh environments, ants can promote the colonization of arboreal species through directed dispersion of seeds towards the nests. …”

Assessment of comminution capacity related to molar intercuspation in catarrhines using a chewing simulator by Axelle EC Walker, Franck Guy, Christian Salles, Ghislain Thiery, Vincent Lazzari

“…This experiment showed that proper occlusion and bite force are sufficient only to fragment brittle food and that additional movements are necessary to fragment tough foods (leaves and grasses). It also highlights the masticatory capacities of various occlusal patterns in primates and our ability to test these with robotics, a breakthrough that will allow investigations of important anthropological questions concerning the evolution of dental morphology.…”
