Farmers’ endorsement is crucial to conserve biodiversity in permanent grasslands, but the lack of visibility on their economic value is a major obstacle. We studied the production costs (i.e., the cost to produce one Mg of dry matter) and the …
European permanent grasslands are the main source of livestock fodder and the main hotspot of botanical diversity, but the trade-offs between fodder production and botanical diversity conservation remain debated. This study aims to identify what …
Grasslands are at the heart of multiple expectations on the part of farmers and society. The objective of this study was to assess the services provided by semi-natural grasslands, and the trade-offs between these services. Starting from a survey of …
Assessing trade-offs between forage production and ecological characteristics delivered by grasslands is a growing concern for stakeholders and scientists. We sampled 50 grasslands from the Vosges Mountains (north-eastern France), and measured the …
Ce guide est un outil de médiation. Il comprend : 1. une typologie agro-écologique caractérisant la diversité prairiale et organisant les connaissances pour les rendre accessible, 2. des outils de diagnostic (bilan fourrager, plantes indicatrices). …
Les surfaces en herbe ont une place majeure dans les agrosystèmes mondiaux. En France, les prairies permanentes sont associées à des propriétés agronomiques, car elles assurent près de la moitié de la production fourragère. Elles sont aussi associées …
Dans cet article, nous avons cherché à prédire simplement les rendements des prairies, les coûts de production et la performance économique. Pour cela, nous avons comparé le pouvoir prédictif d’une typologie agronomique à celui d’une simple …
At the European scale, grassland classifications and policies are mainly based on a phytosociological approach. However, agronomists use other classifications, such as agronomical typologies, indicators, models, measurements of forage yield or …
