Abstract | Climate change is predicted to cause reduction of the annual primary productivity in grasslands across southern Australia. Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations are likely to favour legumes over grasses in temperate pastures, but legume residues have weaker structure compared to grass species. As a result, more rapidly degradable ground cover during summer can potentially increase risk of soil erosion. Managing pastures for lower legume content may prevent this issue as an adaptation option but at the cost of reduced |
