Title	What is quality for a ruminant? A short introduction to the meaning of plant chemical composition measurements (SASSCAL Book, Biodiversity & Ecology 6)	?
Author	Caroline Stolter	?
Abstract	The “quality” of a given food item depends on the morphological adaptations and physiological requirements of the animal (Stolter et al., 2018). For ruminants the digestion of feeds by the microbiome is essential, therefore food selection is an indirect process. As a result, determining of the drivers behind food selection (e.g. plant quality) is a challenging issue. Nevertheless, some general assumptions about quality can be made.	?
