Effect of four plant species on soil N-15-access and herbage yield in temporary agricultural grasslands

Sammanfattning

Our study showed that increased plant diversity in agricultural grasslands can have positive effects on the environment (improved N use may lead to reduced N leaching) and agricultural production (increased herbage yield). A complementary effect between legumes and non-leguminous plants and increasing plant diversity had a greater positive impact on herbage yield compared with complementary vertical soil N-15-access.
