Nitrogen Fixation and Resource Partitioning in Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.), Cicer Milkvetch (<i>Astragalus cicer</i> L.) and Sainfoin (<i>Onobrychis viciifolia</i> Scop.) Using <sup>15</sup>N Enrichment under Controlled Environment Conditions

Nitrogen Fixation and Resource Partitioning in Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.), Cicer Milkvetch (<i>Astragalus cicer</i> L.) and Sainfoin (<i>Onobrychis viciifolia</i> Scop.) Using <sup>15</sup>N Enrichment under Controlled Environment Conditions

Availability of nitrogen (N) limits pasture production. Inclusion of legumes into grass pastures can provide an alternative N source through biological N<sub>2</sub> fixation (BNF), and enhance retention and cycling of soil C and N. Despite the use of alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa<...
