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...

Cattle Production under Grazing with Improved Forages in the Lowland Tropics of Colombia
* Increase in global population and changes in people’s lifestyles and diets generate high demand for animal protein sources.
* Cattle production systems in Colombia are mostly extensive and inefficient.
* The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) works on sustainable intensificati...

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...
