The robustness of land equivalent ratio as a measure of yield advantage of multi-crop systems over monocultures
Land equivalent ratio (LER) is a most widely used indicator of yield advantage of multi-crop farms over sole-crop farms, and usually measured using crop biomass yield per unit area. Most often, crop yields are compared between both systems using the same area. In this paper, we demonstrate that alth...
