Population dynamics of five legumes in two grass / legume pastures under cattle grazing

Population dynamics of plants is the study of the recruitment and longevity of plants. Of the many tropical pasture legumes now in use, only Siratro (Macroptilium) is understood in simple mixtures. Walker (1980) found that rapid changes occurred in the populations of some tropical perennial legumes in response to grazing by cattle. The study investigated initial effects of cattle grazing on the dynamics of five perennial, tropical legumes in association with two contrasting grass species.
