Task 3 of Multi4More investigates the impact of functional group diversity (grass, legume, and herb) on nitrogen dynamics and agronomic metrics in Irish livestock production. The study aims to reduce nitrous oxide emissions and increase total nitrogen yield through the use of multispecies swards. The research addresses the need for nitrogen self-sufficiency and reduced N losses in European livestock systems.
Task 7 – Generality of functional group effects in mixtures: the analysis of multi-species mixtures data in a global network of experiments.
Task 7 of Multi4More aims to analyse data from the global network of experiments called LegacyNet to identify optimal grass, legume, and herb proportions for
