“…Plants roots and associated mycorrhizal fungi also improve soil structure by stabilizing macroaggregates (Tisdall and Oades, 1982) and creating pores of different sizes. Plant species with dense and fine roots such as grass (Deru et al, 2016) and highly mycorrhizal fibrous lateral root systems such as clover (Wyngaarden et al, 2015) both produce a range of soil pore sizes and increase micropore volume (Bodner et al, 2014;Jarvis et al, 2017). This can increase the water available to plants (Zangiabadi et al, 2017).…”

“…We did observe substantial variation between the tetraploid varieties, suggesting that other aspects of the genotype could influence the response to the environmental stressors. It is possible that the difference in performance is due to genotypic root development, which has been observed previously between perennial ryegrass varieties (Bonos et al, 2004;Wedderburn et al, 2010;Deru et al, 2014). Although, there is no clear connection between ploidy and stress tolerance to waterlogging or other environmental stressors (Yu et al, 2012;Kemesyte et al, 2017;Tozer et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2019).…”

Phenotypic variation from waterlogging in multiple perennial ryegrass varieties under climate change conditions

Identifying how various components of climate change will influence ecosystems and vegetation subsistence will be fundamental to mitigate negative effects. Climate change-induced waterlogging is understudied in comparison to temperature and CO2. Grasslands are especially vulnerable through the connection with global food security, with perennial ryegrass dominating many flood-prone pasturelands in North-western Europe. We investigated the effect of long-term waterlogging on phenotypic responses of perennial ryegrass using four common varieties (one diploid and three tetraploid) grown in atmospherically controlled growth chambers during two months of peak growth. The climate treatments compare ambient climatological conditions in North-western Europe to the RCP8.5 climate change scenario in 2050 (+2°C and 550 ppm CO2). At the end of each month multiple phenotypic plant measurements were made, the plants were harvested and then allowed to grow back. Using image analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) methodologies, we assessed how multiple predictors (phenotypic, environmental, genotypic, and temporal) influenced overall plant performance, productivity and phenotypic responses. Long-term waterlogging was found to reduce leaf-color intensity, with younger plants having purple hues indicative of anthocyanins. Plant performance and yield was lower in waterlogged plants, with tetraploid varieties coping better than the diploid one. The climate change treatment was found to reduce color intensities further. Flooding was found to reduce plant productivity via reductions in color pigments and root proliferation. These effects will have negative consequences for global food security brought on by increased frequency of extreme weather events and flooding. Our imaging analysis approach to estimate effects of waterlogging can be incorporated into plant health diagnostics tools via remote sensing and drone-technology.

“…Er zijn aanwijzingen dat stromest/ruige mest positief bijdraagt aan bodemkwaliteit en biodiversiteit. De vaste mest wordt gewaardeerd in het kader van biodiversiteit en natuurbeheer, met name bij weidevogelbeheer, vanwege de positieve effecten op insecten en bodemleven (Deru et al, 2016;Pijlman et al, 2018).…”

Door een kort verkennend onderzoek is bekeken wat melkgeitenhouders zouden kunnen doen aan het verbeteren van de biodiversiteit. Er zijn tal van mogelijkheden, onder andere op het eigen erf, op de eigen grond en door voermaatregelen. Het is belangrijk om niet alleen te kijken naar de 'technische' mogelijkheden voor verbetering van de biodiversiteit, maar ook voldoende aandacht te besteden aan draagvlak en economische aspecten.A short exploratory study looked at what dairy goat farmers could do to improve biodiversity. There are numerous possibilities, including on the own yard, the own land and through feed measures. It is important not only to look at the 'technical' possibilities for improving biodiversity, but also to pay sufficient attention to support among farmers and economic aspects.Trefwoorden: melkgeitenhouderij, biodiversiteit, duurzaamheid Deze nota is gratis te downloaden op https://doi.org/10.18174/638450 of op www.wur.nl/economic-research (onder Wageningen Economic Research publicaties).
