Worldwide, about 3,400 million hectares are used for feeding livestock, often on natural or naturalized pastures with seasonal feed shortages mainly due to lack of water
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...
