Drones offer entirely new prospects for precision agriculture. This study investigates the
utilisation of drone remote sensing for managing and monitoring silage grass swards. In …

Multi-species grasslands are reservoirs of biodiversity and provide multiple ecosystem
services, including fodder production and carbon sequestration. The provision of these …

Agricultural management and meteorological conditions have a great impact on grassland
dynamics, and regenerative and holistic practices especially have significant potential for …

Context In high-latitude regions, variable weather conditions during the growing season and
in winter cause considerable variation in forage grass productivity. Tools for predicting …

The main objective of this paper is to present the new model BASGRA_N, to show how it
was parameterized for grass swards in Scandinavia, and to evaluate its performance in …

The dynamics of grassland ecosystems are highly complex due to multifaceted interactions
among their soil, water, and vegetation components. Precise simulations of grassland …

Past assessments report negative impacts of the climate crisis in boreal areas; but milder
and shorter winters and elevated atmospheric CO2 may provide opportunities for …

Ensiling of whole-crop biomass of barley before full maturity is common practice in regions
with a short growing season. The developmental stage of barley at harvest can have a large …

Aboveground biomass (AGB) is a vital factor when evaluating the grassland ecosystem
service values, especially on regional scales. It is often estimated using the Carnegie-Ames …

Biogeochemical models of vegetation dynamics could potentially be used to complement
empirical studies on the effect of plant species richness. A key precondition is the simulation …
