Monthly temperature and precipitation (average daily temperatures, sum of precipitation per month) for 2016, 2017 and long-term average (1981–2010) at Reiffenhausen (DWD weather station ‘Göttingen’).

Andrea Schmiedgen et al. found that #Legume proportions control the #N concentrations of live and dead herbage irrespective of #TreeShading in #SilvopastoralSystems, trees reduce legume proportion with no consequence for internal #NitrogenResorptionEfficiency.
