Benefits of mixing grasses and legumes for herbage yield and nutritive value in Northern Europe and Canada (2014, background): “Transgressive overyielding has also been observed in Switzerland (Nyfeler et al., 2009) and in mid-European and dry Mediterranean environments when two legume species and two grass species were grown together in a mixture (Kirwan et al., 2007; Finn et al., 2012).”
Mycorrhizal effects on nutrient cycling, nutrient leaching and N2O production in experimental grassland (2015, neutral): “The pasture soil was a calcaric cambisol collected from a long-term pasture site on an ecological farm near Research Station Agroscope ART in Zürich, Switzerland (47 (cid:4) 43 0 11.83 00 N, 8 (cid:4) 53 0 65.25 00 E).”
An improved model to predict the effects of changing biodiversity levels on ecosystem function (2013, background): “They have been used in understanding the BEF relationship in a number of plant and invertebrate assemblages (Sheehan et al. 2006; Kirwan et al. 2007; Connolly et al. 2009, 2011; Frankow-Lindberg et al. 2009; Nyfeler et al. 2009; O’Hea, Kirwan & Finn 2010; Brophy et al. 2011).”
Achievements and Challenges in Improving Temperate Perennial Forage Legumes (2015, background): “…advantages relative to a pure stand: (i) higher yield due to complementarity between species for growing season and use of resources (e.g., Nyfeler et al., 2009), including below ground transfer of biologically-fixed nitrogen from legumes to grasses (Rasmussen et al., 2007); (ii) lower…”
Benefits of Condensed Tannins in Forage Legumes Fed to Ruminants: Importance of Structure, Concentration, and Diet Composition (2019, background): “Cocultivation of Legumes and Companion Crops Cocultivation of forage legumes with companion crops can deliver higher total yields (Nyfeler et al., 2009; Döring et al., 2013; Finn et al., 2013; Mora-Ortiz, 2015; Hunt et al., 2016; Malisch et al., 2017), more nitrogen fixed per hectare (Nyfeler et al.”
Potential of legume-based grassland–livestock systems in Europe: a review (2013, methodology): “This was due to the clover having adequate access to mineral-N sources because of low grass abundance (Nyfeler et al. , 2011) as well as a sig-niﬁcantly lower N demand of the whole sward, as clo-ver-dominated swards were less productive than swards with 30 – 60% of clover (Nyfeler et al. , 2009).”
