title = "Environmental factors limiting the productivity of serradella in southern Australia",
abstract = "Serradella are pasture legumes with a niche role in Australian temperate pasture systems and while broadly adapted, there are obstacles to its widespread adoption. The experiments in this thesis evaluate the productivity constraints of serradella in cool-season, high-rainfall environments and provide novel insights into the factors determining its adaptive range. The findings indicate that serradella will remain an important pasture legume for use on acid soils but beneficial legacy effects may be constrained in these soil types. There is potential to expand the adaptation zone of serradella to cool season, high rainfall environments provided soils are not prone to waterlogging.",
