Cover articles
Grassland Research Volume 3 Issue 3
This extensively managed meadow south of Darmstadt, Germany, is mown once a year for hay production using a bar mower with a reciprocating knife. This approach minimizes environmental impact, helping to preserve its biodiversity. A prior heatwave had already dried the herbage.
