Description
The importance of grassland lies chiefly in its production of good quality forage that is utilised by cattle and sheep. In upland and mountain regions the non-production functions of grassland such as landscape enhancement or water catchment are especially important. These functions are performed mainly through the sward tillering zone (boundary area between above-ground vegetation and roots) and root characteristics (Jancovic, l985). The objective of this research was to study the biomass above, at, and below ground level of three sward types at different fertilisation levels.
