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 …

Les typologies agronomiques : des outils efficaces pour évaluer rendements et performances des prairies permanentes

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 …

Prediction of grassland values by phytosociological or agronomical approach

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 …
