Soil biota in grassland, its ecosystem services and the impact of management.

摘要: In the search for sustainable grassland systems, self-regulating processes in soil become increasingly important. Soil biota play an important role these and provision of various ecosystem services. For systems services are supply nutrients, structure maintenance water retention. developing optimising insight is needed into mechanisms by which influenced management what it means functioning soil-plant system. Interactions between plants can be represented a cyclic conceptual framework including plant/roots, properties. The challenge to allow this cycle function optimally with minimum external inputs. food web probably bacterial-based high density earthworms. impacts on discussed basis two cases: use grass-clover mixtures ley-arable crop rotation versus permanent continuous arable land.
