Temperate productive grasslands are often located in areas of high rainfall prone to flooding, but even here moderate summer droughts occur with regularity causing significant yield reductions. Grasslands capable of resisting both water excess and deficit are required. Alternative breeding technologies are employed to combine asFestuloliumcultivars the desirable traits ofLoliumandFestucaspecies, and also through their enhanced root systems, improve soil structures and hydrology. An amphiploidL. perenne×F. pratensiscultivar can significantly reduce rainfall runoff compared to either its parental species. Evidence suggests this was due to an initial intensive root growth followed by extensive root senescence. This appears to alter soil structure and increase soil porosity and moisture retention providing an ecosystem service by both combating run-off subsequent to heavy rainfall and increasing soil water supply during dry periods.
