• Nitrogen rhizodeposition of legumes. A review (2011, background): “In mixtures with non-fixing plants, N2 fixation by legumes is higher than in a monoculture regardless of management or location (Carlsson and Huss-Danell, 2003; Corre-Hellou et al., 2006).”
• Ecosystem function enhanced by combining four functional types of plant species in intensively managed grassland mixtures: a 3‐year continental‐scale field experiment (2013, background): “…forage and, due to their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, can contribute significantly to synergistic interactions through interspecific transfer of fixed nitrogen (Boller & N€osberger 1987; Ledgard & Steele 1992; Zanetti et al. 1997; Carlsson & Huss-Danell 2003; Nyfeler et al. 2011).”
• Prospects and problems of simple linear models for estimating symbiotic N2 fixation by crop and pasture legumes (2010, background): “Thus, as Carlsson and Huss-Danell (2003) pointed out, such regression approaches may be more suited to legumes growing in mixture than monocultures.”
• Complementary nitrogen use among potentially dominant species in a biodiversity experiment varies between two years (2008, background): “Whereas high soil N availability often suppresses N2 fixation, legumes usually rely more on fixed nitrogen under low resource availability (Carlsson & Huss-Danell 2003).”
• Nitrogen transfer from forage legumes to nine neighbouring plants in a multi-species grassland (2011, background): “The three donor legumes investigated in this study derived between 75% and 95% of their N from symbiotic N2 fixation, which is in agreement with other studies (Carlsson and Huss-Danell 2003) and Fig. 3 Botanical composition of a grass-legume-herb mixture grown in cylinders at no slurry application (”
• Nitrogen Rhizodeposition of Legumes (2011, background): “In mixtures with non-fixing plants, N2 fixation by legumes is higher than in a monoculture regardless of management or location ( Carlsson and Huss-Danell, 2003; Corre-Hellou et al., 2006).”
• Grain legume-cereal intercropping enhances the use of soil-derived and biologically fixed nitrogen in temperate agroecosystems. A meta-analysis (2020, methodology): “with large uncertainties, with risks of underestimating Ndfa in legume sole crops and overestimations in intercrops (Carlsson and Huss-Danell, 2003).”
• Grass competition induces N2 fixation in some species of African Acacia (2007, background): “…in the plants grown with grass, resulting in low δ15N values for the Acacia spp. White clover (Trifolium repens), red clover (Trifolium pratense) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) have also been shown to fix a greater proportion of plant N when grown together with grasses (Carlsson & Huss-Danell 2003).”
• Forage Legumes for Grazing and Conserving in Ruminant Production Systems (2015, background): “…tend to present greater total utilisation of atmospherically derived N, as the more of the N lost to the soil from the legume (through plant tissue decay, death or animal excretion) is recovered by the grass (Høgh-Jensen and Schjørring, 1997; Carlsson and Huss-Danell, 2003; Nyfeler et al., 2011).”
• Global inputs of biological nitrogen fixation in agricultural systems (2008, background): “We are now starting to see a change, however, with acknowledgement that published values for legume N2 fixation are low because they do not account for the large proportion of below-ground N contained in nonrecovered roots, detached nodules, and products of root and nodule necrosis (Carlsson and Hus”
• Factors affecting the potential contributions of N2 fixation by legumes in Australian pasture systems (2012, background): “Prior to European settlement, Australian soils contained no rootnodule bacteria (rhizobia) able to nodulate and fix N2 with the majority of agriculturally useful legumes (e.g. Diatloff and Brockwell 1976).”
• Inorganic soil nitrogen under grassland plant communities of different species composition and diversity. (2005, background): “spheric N2 (Carlsson and Huss-Danell 2003), they invest little in N acquisition from the soil (Craine”
• Potential of legume-based grassland–livestock systems in Europe: a review (2013, background): “1 have also been reported (Boller and N € osberger, 1987; Ledgard and Steele, 1992; Zanetti et al. , 1997; Carlsson and Huss-Danell, 2003).”
