Age-related shifts of dissolved hydrogen and its impact on rumen fermentation dynamics and microbial communities in goats (Capra hircus)

Abstract The rumen is a complex anaerobic fermentation ecosystem in which microbial communities undergo dynamic changes during host development, influencing fermentation efficiency, hydrogen utilization, and methane (CH₄) production. However, how rumen maturation reshapes hydroge...

Impacts of ewe death and failure to rear a lamb on national production, profitability and greenhouse-gas emissions in New Zealand

Context Ewe death and lamb abandonment can contribute significantly to overall productivity and profitability of farming systems in New Zealand through impacts on lamb survival. Aims To find out how ewe death and failure to rear a lamb affect the production, profitability and gre...

Impacts of Future Oil Palm Expansion on Carbon and Hydrological Fluxes Across the Tropics

Abstract Future oil palm expansion could substantially alter tropical carbon and water cycles, but its regional impacts remain unclear. Using CLM5‐palm, we simulate large‐scale oil palm expansion from 2023 to 2100 in Southeast Asia, Africa and the Amazon. Expansion increases tota...
