Renewal of grassland with adapted seeds, by sowing into the gaps that occur after periods of drought
Comments on sustainability
For a high grassland productivity, it is important to close the gaps in the grassland which are caused by drought periods. It has an effect on the whole system - uniform rooting, supression of unwanted plants, a higher water infiltration and stable yields. Expert knowledge may be required.
