European grassland‐based livestock production systems face the challenge of producing
more meat and milk to meet increasing world demands and to achieve this using fewer …

Free‐air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments allow study of the effects of elevated [CO2] on
plants and ecosystems grown under natural conditions without enclosure. Data from 120 …

Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms.
Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

Plant responses to the projected future levels of CO2 were first characterized in short-term
experiments lasting days to weeks. However, longer term acclimation responses to elevated …

▪ Abstract Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) is now higher than it was at any time in
the past 26 million years and is expected to nearly double during this century. Terrestrial …

A coordinated continental‐scale field experiment across 31 sites was used to compare the
biomass yield of monocultures and four species mixtures associated with intensively …

Concerted use of legumes and of functional diversity in grassland forage systems can
provide major contributions to the challenges of agricultural systems being productive yet …

Enhanced plant biomass accumulation in response to elevated atmospheric CO2
concentration could dampen the future rate of increase in CO2 levels and associated climate …

Global climate change, caused by increased emissions of greenhouse gases, is likely to
affect agroecosystems in many ways, but the outcome, for instance, as a shift in productivity …

Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF), an important source of N in terrestrial ecosystems,
plays a critical role in terrestrial nutrient cycling and net primary productivity. Currently, large …
