Grass is a very important world crop. In some countries, for
example the UK, Australia and New Zealand, animal products from
grassland make a greater contribution to the value of agricultural
production than does any other crop. Yet research being undertaken
to further. our understanding of the factors affecting the growth
and productivity of grasslands has trailed in the shadow of the
determined efforts made to improve our knowledge of cereals and, to
a somewhat lesser extent, legumes. However, in spite of its low
profile, grassland research has resulted in considerable advances
in our knowledge in the last 20 years, and we feel that this book
provides a timely opportunity to bring together some of this work
in a review of what is primarily the ecophysiology of the temperate
grass crop. Unlike other crops grown for their grain or vegatative
parts, grass and grassland products are used almost entirely for
the feeding of ruminant animals; the interaction of the sward and
the animal thus adds an extra dimension to investigations of the
productivity of grassland. No one author could adequately encompass
the breadth of work covered in the book. Acknowledged experts have
therefore been selected as contributors to provide an up-to-date
review of their own specialized areas. Whilst multi author texts
can cause problems of lack of uniformity of approach, each
contributor has been made aware of the contents of the other
chapters in an attempt both to provide continuity and to prevent
glaring overlaps."
