دانلود کتاب Forages volume 1: an Introduction to Grassland Agriculture

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :

This text will provide students with scientific principles, to aid in integrating the concepts they learn, and practical information on forage identification, plant characteristics, management, and utilization that can be used by forage management practitioners. Grassland ecosystems are extremely complex, including the plant/animal interface as well as the soil/climate/forage interface and the text supports understanding and integration of all of these considerations. The coverage of the science behind the plant characteristics and responses make the book applicable in many parts of the world, while other region-specific management information relates mainly to North America. The editors also address the renewed national interest in environmental issues such as water quality, global climate change and eutrophication in the Gulf, and the role of forages for wildlife habitat and food sources. --AMAZON.;v. 1, pt.
