The Pasture Ecology Group (originally the Detailed Sward Measurement Group) was set up in 1977. Over the course of time its remit has extended to embrace most aspects of pasture-based research. These now include interests in plant animal interactions and in the morphological and physiological determinants of successful pasture species and pasture species associations in different environments. The Group has been recognised by the British Grassland Society as a Special Interest Group. The Group has held many meetings at various EU venues since its first meeting in 1978. The Group also issues a Newsletter twice a year (May and November). There are currently about 120 Newsletter subscribers in Europe, the Americas, New Zealand and Australia.
