Abstract
AbstractThis chapter specifically considers how four global climatic change factors - atmospheric CO2, stratospheric O3, temperature and rainfall - might affect competition and succession in pastures. The predominant emphasis to date in global climate change research has been on the long-term effects of climate change, with relatively little emphasis on the importance of human interference in modifying climate change impacts. For the specific case of intensive pasture systems, such decisions as choice of seed mixture, fertilizer regime or stocking pressure can be of overriding importance in determining competitive outcomes and vegetation succession. Therefore, where possible, the implications of these changes for management decisions that influence competition in pastures are examined.
