This volume contains a compilation of four plenary papers and twenty nine invited papers presented at the main congress of the XX International Grassland Congress held in University College Dublin, Ireland from 26 June to 1 July 2005. It is complemented by six other books arising from the congress as listed on the back cover: the book of offered papers from the main congress and five books containing the proceedings of five satellite workshops held immediately after the main congress at locations in Ireland and the UK (Aberystwyth, Belfast, Cork, Glasgow and Oxford). The workshops were designed to facilitate more in-depth presentations and discussions on more specialised topics of worldwide significance.
