Pasture Degradation Estimates Through Field Data in the State of Goiás, Brazil

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grasslands and pastures play a critical role in global food security, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, particularly in tropical regions where they serve as the primary base for livestock production. However, these areas are increasingly vulnerable to degradation due to poor management practices, as observed in the Cerrado biome.
