The impact of climate change on grassland-a modelling approach

摘要

@@Introduction Grassland is the main productive driver of ruminant livestock systems in the UK and is sensitive to climate change.The effects of climate change on grassland systems are potentially complex with the effects on forage yields and quality which may affect the relative suitability of grasses and legumes and their utilisation,and would be difficult to quantitatively identify the impacts with both field and laboratory experiments.Mathematical models are potentially efficient tools for the assessment.
