Interaction of Plant Species Diversity on Grazing Behavior and Performance of Livestock Grazing Temperate Region Pastures (2007, background): “Preliminary research suggests that manipulating plant diversity can improve primary production in grazed systems (Sanderson et al., 2005) and can reduce weed pressure (Tracy and Sanderson, 2004).”
Production and Nutritive Value of Grazed Simple and Complex Forage Mixtures (2007, background): “On the other hand, recent dairy grazing research in the Northeast USA concluded that sowing moderately complex mixtures (three to six species) would increase forage production (Sanderson et al., 2005).”
Nitrogen transfer from forage legumes to nine neighbouring plants in a multi-species grassland (2011, background): “350, 1-2, p. 71-84 Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article – Annual report year: 2013 › Research › peer-review”
Crop Species Diversity Affects Productivity and Weed Suppression in Perennial Polycultures under Two Management Strategies (2008, background): “Experiments using cattle grazing indicate that complex mixtures comprising grasses, legumes, and composites are more productive in dry years, and have less weed invasion than simple mixtures ( Sanderson et al., 2005 ).”
