requirement in closing the gap between potential and achieved water limited yield …

Soil-crop models are widely used as valuable tools to assess the combined effects of
cropping practices, soil management and climate on the agro-environmental indicators …

Abstract Faba bean (Vicia Faba L.) is the second most widely grown grain legume in Europe
after pea (Pisum Sativum L.) and presents several agronomic and environmental …

In low-rainfall environments, a high frequency of cereal crops has been favoured for
optimising productivity and risk. However, cereals at high intensity often lead to declining …

The seasonal pattern of pasture production and its variability from year to year are important
for pasture-based livestock production systems in south-eastern Australia because they …

The drier inland edge of the Australian grain belt, where wheat cropping transitions into
extensive grazing, is an important economic and ecological margin. This margin is …
