Grassland and water resources:recent trends and future challenges in temperate zones
Key points Three main components of the terrestrial hydrological cycle are taken into account in this paper : soil, groundwaters and streams, linked by various transfers, such as drainage, throughflow and runoff. The main result of this literature review is to point out the major positive effects of grassland on all the water quality criteria, with two local problems : nitrate and microbiological parameters. In a short second part, we develop a challenge for the grassland researcher community : to contribute to the international agronomists efforts to improve our water resource quality. To conclude, we propose some research questions for the future.
