Field and laboratory methods for grassland and animal production research

This book brings together a range of methods used to study grasslands (both temperate and tropical) and ruminant performance, including: grassland vegetation and its measurement; pattern analysis in grassland and animal production systems; modelling pasure and animal production; measuring botanical...
