The understanding of plant morphological and physiological responses to shading can
contribute to develo** sustainable silvopastoral systems (SPS). Our objective was to …

New forage cultivars require defoliation studies for recommending proper grazing
management. Our objective was to characterize herbage accumulation (HA), plant‐part …

Forage grass canopies may be affected by the shaded microclimate in silvopastoral (SP)
systems throughout the year. This in turn may affect forage plant characteristics. Our …

The study of canopy structures is essential for the precise management of local forage.
Although the relationship between the canopy height (CH) and light interception (LI) allows …

Abstract In Southern Brazil, caívas, agroforestry systems within patches of Araucaria Forest
that include cattle production, have been used historically throughout the region. Despite …

The increasing demand of meat requires the adoption of sustainable intensification livestock
systems, applying nutritional strategies to reduce any negative contribution from beef cattle …

In silvopastoral (SP) systems, forage responses depend on the microenvironment in which
the plants develop. Our objective was to evaluate canopy and tillering characteristics of …

Tropical beef cattle production involving animals grazing in a shaded and biologically
diverse environment, surrounded by high-quality edible biomass, is achievable through …

Sustainable intensification of livestock production systems has become a global demand. In
silvopastoral systems, contrasting shading levels caused by the presence of trees interferes …

Our objective was to measure chemical composition and anatomy of 5 Megathyrsus
maximus (syn. Panicum maximum) genotypes, when grown in combination with eucalypts in …
