Today we welcome our new #PhD student Julie Botzas-Coluni who will work on the #AgroForageTreeProject funded by Swiss National Science Foundation for the next 4 years Agroscope and @epfl with Grossiord Charlotte and myself 🌳 #agroforestry #agroecology

Our #robustalps project financed by Swiss National Science Foundation will continue in the next two years to assess the restoration effect of #Highland cattle grazing on green alder encroached pastures

The website page of the #AgroForageTreeProject is now online Swiss National Science Foundation WSL Umweltforschung EPFL-ENAC Agroscope Julie Botzas-Coluni Grossiord Charlotte Massimiliano Probo JensLeifeld bit.ly/3vvCbsU

À la minute 15, présentation du projet Agroscope sur les clôtures virtuelles : latele.ch/emissions/info…

This morning I presented some results of the #RobustAlpsProject on the nutritive value of #Alnus viridis leaves and #nitrogen translocation by #Highland cattle in Alnus viridis-encroached #pastures at EURAF2024 @Agroforestry Agroscope Allan Ecology Group Universität Bern Swiss National Science Foundation Massimiliano Probo

Today kick-off of the project on the new strategies to fight against green alder encroachment on alpine pastures, with the definition of the future intervention areas on the wonderful summer pasture of Bovonne (VD)

Presenting the results of our Swiss National Science Foundation financed project on the agro-ecological restoration of alpine #pastures at the #grazing workshop of the European Grassland Federation conference in Leeuwarden, Netherlands #egf Agroscope

New 📜 out! I am happy to share our last paper on the use of #virtual #fencing 🐄🛸 Age has no influence on the learning behaviour of #dairy #cows. A great collaboration between our group at Agroscope and Andrea from the University of Florence: doi.org/10.1093/jas/sk…

Our third field campaign is underway in the #AgroForageTreeProject. We are monitoring soil humidity in our hedgerows and seeing how our trees adapt to drought stress. Dr Pierre Mariotte Grossiord Charlotte #agroscope

Session #24 starting with Massimiliano Probo Agroscope 🇨🇭 on the influence of pastoral management on the conservation of the cultural landscape and biodiversity of mountain pastures. #eaap2024 #EAAP2024Session24 EAAPofficial EAAP LFS Commission

Presenting the influence of #pastoral management of the conservation of plant #biodiversity of alpine #pastures at the 75th EAAPofficial conference in Florence, Italy. An amazing yearly scientific exchange, as usual Agroscope EAAP Commission on Cattle

Chairing section 73 of the 75th EAAPofficial conference in Florence (IT) on the provision of #ecosystem services by #grasslands. A very fruitful exchange on possible management solutions to improve the #sustainability of #livestock production. Agroscope EAAP Commission on Cattle
