Impacts of climate change on sustainability of temperate native pasture: an experiment

温带原生牧场的可持续利用在经济上是重要的，因为放牧和生物多样性，因为它们是许多受威胁植物的家园。原生牧场的可持续性取决于维持物种多样性和植被生产力。气候变化可能会对这两个因素产生重大影响。该项目的目的是阐明气候变化对放牧的原生牧场的物种组成、生产力和营养质量的影响。这很重要，因为它将使我们能够预测由全球气候变化引起的可能问题，并增加我们对这些变化背后机制的理解。

The sustainable use of temperate native pastures is important economically because of grazing and for biodiversity since they are home to many threatened plants. Native pasture sustainability depends on maintaining species diversity and vegetation productivity. Climate change is likely to have major impacts on both factors. The aims of this project are to elucidate the impacts of climate change on the species composition, productivity and nutritional quality of a grazed native pasture. This is important, as it will allow us to predict likely problems caused by global climate change and increase our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these changes.
