Interaction of Plant Species Diversity on Grazing Behavior and Performance of Livestock Grazing Temperate Region Pastures (2007, background): “There is some evidence that, in low-input grazing systems, increased plant species diversity can improve primary production and reduce weed invasion and also improve system resilience to climatic extremes such as drought (Skinner et al., 2004; Sanderson et al., 2005).”
Root depth distribution and the diversity–productivity relationship in a long‐term grassland experiment (2013, background): “Earlier studies of pasture forage species, including legumes, also found that root depth distributions were deeper and plant productivity was higher for more diverse plant mixtures (Skinner et al. 2004, 2006, Skinner and Comas 2010).”
