Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 1-9, 2019., 2019 Core Ideas Grassland is a widespread agroecosystem in the globe; however, not enough attention has been given to link grazing management to soil health. Grazing management practices greatly impact soil quality. Moderate stocking rate are more adequate to keep grassland stability.

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, January-March 2026.ABSTRACT Brazil is known for its extensive livestock production in pastures, supporting the world's second‐largest herd of cattle and being the leading beef exporter. However, livestock farming in Brazil has frequently been associated with soil degradation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Brachiaria Species and Breeding Populations
Crop Science, Volume 57, Issue 5, Page 2633-2644, September–October 2017., 2017 Several apomictic Brachiaria (Trin.) Griseb. (syn. Urochloa P. Beauv.) species are commercially important tropical forage grasses, but little is known about the interspecific diversity and population structure within this genus. Previously published genus‐level Brachiaria phylogenies were conducted with few genotypes and contradicted well‐established ...

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 3, July-September 2025.ABSTRACT Silvopastoral systems (SPS) integrate pasture, trees, and animals in the same area and are alternatives for sustainable pasture intensification. We aimed to test whether, in the late stages of an SPS, with large but sparsely distributed trees (83 trees ha−1), forage and animal productivity are comparable to a full sun pasture (FS) over an ...
