Cutting improves the productivity of lucerne-rich stands used in the revegetation of degraded arable land in a semi-arid environment

Understanding the relationships between vegetative and environmental variables is important for revegetation and ecosystem management on the Loess Plateau, China. Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) has been widely used in the region to improve revegetation, soil and water conservation, and to enhance live...
