Identified grassland-livestock production systems and related models

Gianni Bellocchi, Shaoxiu Ma, Martin Köchy, Katharina Braunmiller

Abstract


This report describes grassland-livestock production systems, as selected for model-based

studies. A list of grassland models was identified for evaluation against such datasets

(WP2) and application at reference farm (WP3) and regions (WP4) across Europe and peri-

European countries.
