Nutrient Contribution: the Key for Grasslands to Cope with Extreme Drought

An analysis carried out by experts from around the world has given the key that would allow pastures to better withstand extreme drought and that secret lies in nutrients. A contribution of these is good news to improve the management and conservation of grass ecosystems that face climate stress factors due to this lack of water. With this study, in which the University of Alicante (UA) participates, essential nutrients were added to these pastu…

An international study in which the University of Alicante (UA) participates shows that the addition of nutrients can help grasslands to overcome short periods of extreme drought. This finding, published in the prestigious journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, has implications for the management and conservation of these ecosystems, as well as for the livestock and food systems of the territories facing climate stress factors. Experimental station…
