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...

Integral assessment of productive and environmental parameters of a forage-based silvopastoral system
In a field experiment in Palmira, Colombia, we studied mycorrhizal root colonization, phosphomonoesterase activities and P and N foliar content before and after N fertilization among different Brachiaria genotypes with demonstrated biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity. Furthermore, ...

Differences in arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization and P acquisition between genotypes of the tropical Brachiaria grasses: is there a relation with BNI activity?
Nitrification is one of the key processes leading to water contamination and greenhouse gas emissions (N2O) in pasture systems. As vast areas of tropical pastures are nitrogen (N) limited, grasses from the Brachiaria genus have adapted to reduce N losses and increase N use efficiency by releasing...

Soil macrofauna as indicators of soil quality in improved (silvo) pastoral systems in the tropics
Silvopastoral systems are environmentally and economically beneficial alternative to cattle pastures formed by single grass species. The incorporation of trees, especially legumes, in pastures has several positive effects on soil properties and nutrient cycling while creating more favorable micro...
