Less intensively managed grassland have higher plant diversity and better soil health, research shows

British countryside is largely made up of grazed grassland. Such habitats are important for food production, but also vital to farming and rural communities. Recent research has shown that UK grazed grassland that are less intensively managed  has higher diversity in plant species by 50% and have higher soil health than intensively managed grasslands.  How exactly the research was done and what exact results it provided you can read at www.ceh.ac.uk
