      1. Increased species diversity promotes ecosystem function; however, the dynamics of multi-speciesgrassland systems over time and their role in sustaining higher yields generated by increased diver-sity are still poorly ...
    • Trait characterization of genetic resources reveals useful variation for the improvement of cultivated Nordic red clover 

      Zanotto, Stefano; Palmé, Anna; Helgadóttir, Áslaug; Daugstad, Kristin; Isolahti, Mika; Öhlund, Linda; Marum, Petter; Moen, Maria Ahlin; Veteläinen, Merja; Rognli, Odd Arne; Ergon, Åshild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-20)
      Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is the most important forage legume in the Nordic region, but its utilization is limited by poor persistency. The improvement of cultivated red clover can potentially take advantage of ...

      1. Grassland diversity can support sustainable intensification of grassland production through increased yields, reduced inputs and limited weed invasion. We report the effects of diversity on weed suppression from 3 years ...
