Nash's Field Experiment

Shifts of climate patterns, nutrient deposition and biodiversity loss are major anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem change. The Nash’s Field experiment was established in 1991 to understand the impacts that herbivory  by-vertebrates and invertebrates, fertilization and soil acidity have on grasslands.  Over the last 30 years this site has been used by researchers from a broad range of disciplines to assess how common agricultural practices affect plant and soil microbial communities and the cycling and storage of soil nutrients. It has also been useful to delineate management practices to control agricultural pests and to test monitoring methods using new technologies.
