Large-scale deployment of grass in crop rotations as a multifunctional climate mitigation strategy

Oskar Englund et al.

Summary: The agriculture sector has the potential to mitigate climate change through reducing GHG emissions, sequestering carbon, and providing biomass. By implementing policies that promote the cultivation of perennial plants, such as grass, in rotation with annual crops, significant climate mitigation and environmental benefits can be achieved.

Legacy effects of temporary grassland in annual crop rotation on soil ecosystem services

Kevin Hoeffner et al.

Summary: The introduction of temporary grassland into an annual crop rotation is beneficial for soil structure maintenance and biodiversity conservation, but may reduce pathogen regulation. A higher proportion of grassland in the crop rotation leads to stronger beneficial effects on soil structure maintenance and biodiversity conservation. However, water regulation, pathogen regulation, and forage production are not significantly affected by the presence of grassland in the rotation.

Effects of temporary grassland introduction into annual crop rotations and nitrogen fertilisation on earthworm communities and forage production

Kevin Hoeffner et al.

Summary: Introducing grassland into annual crop rotations significantly increases earthworm abundance, biomass, and diversity, especially for anecic species. Grassland duration and fertilisation can increase earthworm abundance and biomass, particularly for anecic species, without affecting endogeic species and earthworm diversity. Increasing fertilisation leads to higher forage production, while duration of grassland does not have a significant effect on production.
