Diversification of cropping systems has been proposed as a major mechanism to move
towards sustainable cropping systems. To date, a diversification option that has received …

Publisher Summary Soils form a major repository of nitrogen (N) within both natural and
agricultural terrestrial ecosystems, containing, on a global basis, an estimated 2.4 x 10 11 …

Research on the various transformations of N in temperate grassland systems is
comprehensively reviewed in this book, which is aimed at advisers, researchers, teachers …

The effects of soil texture and grassland management, ie rate of fertilizer N input, mowing vs
grazing, and the number of years the site is under grass, on the amounts of soil organic C …

The model simulates the cycling of N in grassland systems grazed by beef cattle and
predicts the annual amount of N in liveweight gain, and the amounts lost through ammonia …

Nitrogen (N) is, under many circumstances, the second most limiting factor (the first being
water) to grass sward growth potential. Application of mineral N fertilizers has been the key …

Extractable Organic N (EON) or Dissolved Organic Nitrogen (DON) pools are often analyzed
to predict N mineralisation, N leaching, and to evaluate agricultural (nutrient) management …

Managed grasslands are occasionally ploughed up and reseeded in order to maintain or
increase the sward productivity. It has been reported that this renovation of grassland is …

A field experiment was conducted over a 4‐year period to determine NO3 leaching losses
from grassland on a freely draining sandy soil. The experiment consisted of all combinations …

The contribution of ploughing permanent grassland and leys to emissions of N 2 O and CO 2
