complementarity among four highly productive grassland species depends on resource availability.	positive species richness-productivity relationships are common in biodiversity experiments, but how resource availability modifies biodiversity effects in grass-legume mixtures composed of highly productive species is yet to be explicitly tested. we addressed this question by choosing two grasses (arrhenatherum elatius and dactylis glomerata) and two legumes (medicago × varia and onobrychis viciifolia) which are highly productive in monocultures and dominant in mixtures (the jena experiment). w ...	2016	26932467
use of two grasses for the phytoremediation of aqueous solutions polluted with terbuthylazine.	the capacity of two grasses, tall fescue (festuca arundinacea) and orchardgrass (dactylis glomerata), to remove terbuthylazine (tba) from polluted solutions has been assessed in hydroponic cultures. different tba concentrations (0.06, 0.31, 0.62, and 1.24 mg/l) were chosen to test the capacity of the two grasses to resist the chemical. aerial biomass, effective concentrations (to cause reductions of 10, 50, and 90% of plant aerial biomass) and chlorophylls contents of orchardgrass were found to ...	2016	26934386
mitigation of ergot vasoconstriction by clover isoflavones in goats (capra hircus).	ergot alkaloids produced by a fungal endophyte (epichloë coenophiala; formerly neotyphodium coenophialum) that infects tall fescue (lolium arundinaceum) can induce persistent constriction of the vasculature in ruminants, hindering their capability to thermo-regulate core body temperature. there is evidence that isoflavones produced by legumes can relax the vasculature, which suggests that they could relieve ergot alkaloid-induced vasoconstriction and mitigate the vulnerability to severe heat str ...	2016	26973844
do drying and rewetting cycles modulate effects of sulfadiazine spiked manure in soil?	naturally occurring drying-rewetting events in soil have been shown to affect the dissipation of veterinary antibiotics entering soil by manure fertilization. however, knowledge of effects on the soil microbial community structure and resistome is scarce. here, consequences of drying-rewetting cycles on effects of sulfadiazine (sdz) in soil planted with dactylis glomerata l. were investigated in microcosms. manure containing sdz or not was applied to the pregrown grass and incubated for 56 days ...	2016	27053757
