Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Low-rate lime caused little measurable soil response.
- Intervention effect High-rate lime caused marked and persistent soil effects.
- Intervention effect Calluna centres showed only minor vegetation effects, especially at the mature stage.
- Recommendation The authors recommend an ecological approach to pasture improvement that accounts for community fertilizer responses and stock control.
