Coverage of our first #LegacyNet results in The Conversation.
More diverse mixtures of forage grassland species deliver higher yields than grass-only with higher nitrogen fertiliser. And these yield benefits were larger in higher temperatures.

#LegacyNet is an international co-ordinated network investigating plant diversity of grassland leys in crop rotations. Since 2018, we’ve been planning, implementing and collecting data using emails and webinars. first in-person scientific meeting was a joy!

Another MSc student finished his thesis this morning. Lukas worked in the #LegacyNet project in Freising with @sebastiantmeyer and Laura. In particular, Lukas studied the effects of grassland leys on SOM and yields of cereal crops that grow in the plots afterwards. Congrats Lukas

Enjoyed looking at some data today before sending it off. Our sorghum sudangrass yields were below the typical range of 3-5 tons for our area. I want water availability to simply explain differences in yield, but it seems more complicated. #legacynet


The legacy effects of forage mixtures are obvious on the follow-on crop here in Minnesota. Almost don't need measuring tape and flags to see plot boundaries. Possibly amplified by the drought we are experiencing. #legacynet

As our sorghum-sudangrass matures, I like to think it is on a journey of self-discovery #legacynet

We sprayed the #legacynet forage mixtures with glyphosate and no till planted barley with a truax drill (made in Minneapolis MN). Not expecting great barley yields due to late planting date but it’s fun planting into green fields.

Final harvest from our second #LegacyNet field site! Plant diversity in original plots visible on the left,the grass monoculture to measure legacy effect is in centre. As add-on expt, chambers to measure nitrous oxide on the right (Conor Bracken) #multispecies

Wonderful image from the Swiss #LegacyNet site!
We're testing how we can best design the species composition of grassland leys for both grassland production and legacy of soil fertility for a follow-on crop. (monocultures to mixtures of grasses, herbs and legumes)

Laura shared her first exciting results from the #LegacyNet experiment with us today, revealing that plant diversity and ecosystem functions are tightly linked in agricultural settings, which provides a powerful basis for the next phase of the experiment this growing season.

After harvesting plant community biomass of #LegacyNet, samples were sorted by species, dried and weighed. Samples will now be grinded so they can
be used for a quality analysis. Thanks to Laura, @sebastiantmeyer , Sarah and various helpers in the team for a successful year!

Sebastian and Laura took the last cover estimates in the #LegacyNet experiment in Freising. Later this week, this will be followed by the final harvest of the year. Great work Team LegacyNet!
looks like great conditions! Tks for being site 27 of #LegacyNet, with some more to get in the ground soon. Looking forward to analysing the data in about 3 years!
Getting a few plots planted on this ☀️ day. I wish it was this weather all year 😃 part of LegacyNet experiment @Johnfinn310

Great turn out yesterday at Opportunities for Multi-Species Swards at Dale Orr's farm. Full report coming next week. Farm walk handout is available https://t.co/W9kakC3xFL

Sites for #LegacyNet are now global- but this one is only an hour away! Tks @tom_moloney58 for a great visit to @DLF_IRL site and #legacynet plots in Waterford and discussion about #multispecies swards. Also lucerne, maize and grass trials galore.

The experiment will demonstrate the legacy effects of multi-species grassland mixtures in a crop rotation system and the benefits of multi-species mixtures for yield, weed suppression, nitrogen use efficiency, forage quality #GSSACongress56 #LegacyNet #nitrogen @Nittygr05781999
