Diversification of pastures and the incorporation of key plant functional groups (legumes) generally improve nutrient cycling and often lead to increased carbon sequestration in the soil. Furthermore, the inclusion of trees in the pastures improve soil properties while creating a microclimate mor...

Forage legumes could enhance ruminant production in Latin America far more than they currently do. With a few instructive exceptions, decades invested in domesticating, testing and divulgating pasture and rangeland leguminous species, have had limited impact. Reasons for this include lack of end-...
