Severe below-maintenance feed intake increases methane yield from enteric fermentation in cattle by Goopy, John P., Korir, Daniel, Pelster, David E., Ali, A.I.M., Wassie, Shimels Eshete, Schlecht, Eva, Dickhoefer, U., Merbold, Lutz, Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus

“…The relationship between feed intake at production levels and enteric CH4 production in ruminants consuming forage-based diets is well described and considered to be strongly linear. Unlike temperate grazing systems, the intake of ruminants in rain-fed tropical systems is typically below maintenance requirements for part of the year (dry seasons). …”

Social capital as a determinant of farmlevel sustainable land management adoption : a case study of smallholder farmers in Northern Benin by Riemer, Olivia

“…Exploratory principal component analysis is used to categorise and combine the 14 considered SLM practices into components. Linear regression models are applied to analyses the effect of social capital on the adoption of the five SLM components and an ordered probit model is used to examine the effect on the extent of SLM adoption. …”

Human appropriation of net primary production related to livestock provisioning ecosystem services in Southern Patagonia by Peri, Pablo Luis, Rosas, Yamina Micaela, Martínez Pastur, Guillermo José

“…There were differences in HANPP across vegetation types with mean values that varied from 3.93% in grasslands on the Humid Magellanic Steppe to 12.33% in the Central Plateau. Simple linear regression analysis for HANPP evaluated in Southern Patagonia showed a negative linear relationship (p < 0.05) with vascular plant biodiversity and net carbon balance at the farm level. …”
