Agriculture, and livestock production in particular, is criticized for being a contributor to
global environmental change, including emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Methane …

Abstract Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) is a developing region characterized for its
importance for global food security, producing 23 and 11% of the global beef and milk …

Information on the physiological ecology of grass-dominant pastures has made a substantial
contribution to the development of practices that optimise the amount of feed harvested by …

A 7 year experiment (2008–2014) evaluated cattle grazing intensity (sward height) effects on
herbage mass, forage quality, and greenhouse gas emissions in continuously stocked …

Fast and accurate quantification of the available pasture biomass is essential to support
grazing management decisions in intensively managed fields. The increasing temporal and …

Agricultural systems are responsible for environmental impacts that can be mitigated
through the adoption of more sustainable principles. Our objective was to investigate the …

Pasture production under integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) is a key element to
support grazing management decisions. Therefore, further experimentation is required to …

For continuously stocked pastures, net forage accumulation is thought to be relatively
unaffected across a rather large range of canopy‐based management targets. It is not …

Changes in leaf anatomy and ultrastructure are associated with physiological performance
in the context of plant adaptations to climate change. In this study, we investigated the …

The objective of this review was to address the main factors that affect the morphogenic and
structural characteristics of forage plants. Within the Brazilian agricultural system, there is a …
