Fig. 1: Recalculated milk production potential yield.

Milk production potential yield (shading) and metabolizable energy (ME) yield (solid lines) as a function of biomass yield and forage metabolizable energy content. Symbols connected by dotted lines represent mean values of the 1-species plots (lower biomass yield) and 60-species plots (higher biomass yield) under the different management treatments as reported in ref. 14.
