Editorial—Annual and perennial forage legumes in dryland pasture systems.

I Grass and Forage Science i has a strong history of publishing science related to the role of legumes in grassland farming systems. Pasture legumes are uniquely placed to provide high-quality forage and biologically fixed nitrogen despite the challenges associated with the incorporation of legumes into grazing systems. A special theme issue on forage legumes in grassland systems appeared in June 2014 with an emphasis on European farming systems, e.g., Lüscher et al. (2014), although papers on evaluation and management of annual legumes were included (Ates et al., 2014). [Extracted from the article]
