Species Composition Influences Zinc and Selenium Uptake in Multispecies Grasslands Open
The aim of this study was to assess and analyse the effect of species richness on zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) uptake and concentrations in grasslands while investigating the potential role of grass species in facilitating their uptake in m…

Annual and seasonal dry matter production, botanical species composition, and nutritive value of multispecies, permanent pasture, and perennial ryegrass swards managed under grazing Open
Reduced reliance on inputs such as fertilizer is fundamental to sustainable grazing systems. This two‐year study compared four sward types, including multispecies swards (MSS), for herbage dry matter (DM) production, species contribution t…

Species composition but not interspecific facilitation enhances zinc and selenium uptake in multispecies grasslands Open
Aims To understand the variations among grassland species in their ability to take up zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se) when cultivated as monocultures and to assess the effect of species richness on Zn and Se uptake. Additionally, to examine wh…

179 The Effect of Sward Type on the Performance of Co-grazed Cattle and Sheep Open
A farmlet study was established to evaluate the effect of four sward types on the performance of heifers and lambs co-grazing: a perennial ryegrass only sward (PRG) receiving 170 kg N/ha each year; a permanent pasture (PP) receiving 135 kg…
