Nutrient Elements in Grassland Soil-Plant-Animal Relationships

It deals with the concentrations and transformations of these elements in soils, grassland plants, and ruminant animals, particularly cattle and sheep. For each element the following data are given: forms occurring in soil, factors that affect availability and concentration, uptake and distribution in grassland plants, role in animal nutrition, amounts and forms excreted by grazing animals, and concentrations needed by ruminant animals.Whitehead, David C. is the author of 'Nutrient Elements in Grassland Soil-Plant-Animal Relationships' with ISBN 9780851994376 and ISBN 0851994377.
