The objective of this study was to determine the specific methane yields of four grass
species (cocksfoot, tall fescue, reed canary grass and timothy) cultivated under boreal …

Coffee is widely grown across Central America at altitudes between 600 and 2500 m, mostly
in association with trees that provide shade and other services. Research on coffee …

Forage-based dairy and livestock production is the backbone of agriculture in Northern
Europe in economic terms. Changes in growing conditions that affect forage grass yield may …

Accurate assessment of herbage mass (HM) in pasture is a key to budgeting forage in
grazing systems worldwide. Different non-destructive techniques to measuring pasture yield …

Reductions in CO 2 emissions are essential to support the UK in achieving its net zero policy
objective by around mid-century. Both changing climate and land use change (LUC) offer an …

Research on coffee agroforestry systems in Central America has identified various
environmental factors, management strategies and plant characteristics that affect growth …

Context In high-latitude regions, variable weather conditions during the growing season and
in winter cause considerable variation in forage grass productivity. Tools for predicting …

Recent years have seen a decline in herbage production and tiller populations in New
Zealand's perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) dairy pastures. One hypothesis is that …

Estimating spatially resolved grassland productivity is essential for benchmarking the total
UK productive potential to assess food, feed and fuel trade-offs in the context of whole …

A structure–function–diversity model of grassland ecosystems (Gemini) has been
developed. For a potentially unlimited number of clonal plant populations, it explicitly …
