| We determined the effect on residual nitrogen (N) of including forbs (chicory, ribwort plantain and caraway) in perennial ryegrass-red clover mixtures. Although soil N inputs during the grassland phase differed markedly between mixtures, in a pot experiment we found no differences in the potentially mineralizable N of the soil or in the dry matter production and N content of the spring barley test crop. The fertilizer value of the grassland mixtures corresponded to 10 g N/m2, irrespective of forb inclusion. Thus, the inclusion of nonlegume forbs did not negatively affect short-term residual N fertility of legume-based grasslands. |

| While many studies have investigated effects of species composition and management on N2-fixation dynamics in simple clover-grass mixtures, there is a lack of knowledge about the performance of legumes and their N2-fixation in more species-rich grassland including non-legume forbs. This study investigated N2-fixation and total N yield in grassland mixtures including different combinations of red clover, perennial ryegrass and three deep rooted forbs: chicory, ribwort plantain and caraway, managed without and with slurry application. The percentage of clover N derived from atmosphere (%Ndfa) increased in mixtures, but was unaffected by inclusion of forbs. However, forbs affected the quantity of N2-fixation and total N yield by affecting the red clover... |

| Background and aims While N2-fixation in diversified grasslands including forage legumes and non-legumes has been widely studied, N2-fixation in swards containing only forage legumes remains unclear. In this study, we investigated N2-fixation in pure stands and mixtures of three forage legumes. Methodology N2-fixation, dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) yields were quantified in a field experiment for red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) pure stands and mixtures using the isotope dilution method. Results All three forage legume species derived most (around 85%) of their N from atmospheric N2-fixation (%Ndfa). However, no positive effect of species diversity was found in any of the mixtures.... |

| Plant diversity is often low in high-yielding temporary grasslands in Europe, with grass-clover being the traditional dominant mixture. Non-leguminous dicot forage herbs have potential as complementary species to traditional grassland species. Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) and caraway (Carum carvi L.) are the three non-leguminous dicot forage herbs (hereafter called forbs) that have attracted most attention. Another form of grassland production of increasing interest is the practice of growing species mixtures containing only forage legumes for low-input production of biomass with high protein content. In this study, grassland nitrogen (N) dynamics were studied in a sward that included the forbs chicory, plantain... |
