The introduction points out the very specific system characteristics of trees and forest stands
which determine the approach and methods to analyse and model forest stand dynamics …

Grazing management has been the focus of the research with forage plants in Brazil for
many years. Only in the last two decades, however, significant changes and advances have …

Sward structure affects herbage growth, pasture species dynamics, and herbage utilization.
Defoliation management has a major impact on sward structure. In particular, tiller size-tiller …

Historically, the study of grass sward behaviour has attracted significant research effort in
countries spanning almost every geographical region of the world. In the UK literature, there …
