Multispecies grasslands produce more yield from lower nitrogen inputs across a climatic gradient High-yielding forage grasslands frequently contain low species diversity and receive high inputs of nitrogen fertilizer. To investigate multispecies mixtures as an alternative strategy, the 26-site in...

Growing a mix of plants in fields can save farmers money and help the environment – new research Farmers are struggling to adapt to climate change and its challenges, but new research has some helpful advice.

#LegacyNet results in The Conversation.
More diverse #mixtures of forage grassland species deliver higher yields than grass-only with higher nitrogen fertiliser. And the yield benefits were larger in higher temperatures. #multispecies #multi4more

#legacynet is a voluntary network and was only possible with lots of generous collaboration across 26 globally distributed sites! Three directors: me, Caroline Brophy, Carsten Malisch - we enjoy working together - and there’s more to come! 😉

AND the yield benefit of mixtures increased as average site temperature increased, indicating that #multispecies mixtures are an adaptation option for grasslands. #legacynet

Je vois parler de "legacy net" dans mes fils Mastodon. Quoi qu'est-ce donc ? #legacynet
