How Are Warm-Season Pastures’ Nutritive Value and Fermentation Characteristics Affected by Open Pasture, Silvopasture, and Sward Herbage Maturity?

Agronomy, 2023
This study aimed to evaluate the forage mass and nutritional value (NV) of Guinea Massai grass (Megathyrsus maximus × Megathyrsus infestum) in an open pasture (OP) or the silvopastoral system (SPS) at different stages of development (SDs).

Yield, nutritional status and soil chemical properties as response to cattle manure, reactive natural rock phosphate and biotite schist in Massai grass. [PDF]

, 2011
In animal production, grasses planted in the pasture lands have especial value to improve aggregate value of products. This paper evaluates the effects of applying cattle manure, reactive natural phosphate and biotite schist on soil fertility, yield and ...

Morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cv. Centenário under defoliation intensities

Research, Society and Development, 2020
The effect of defoliation intensities (20, 30, 40 and 50 cm above soil level) on green dry matter (GDM) yield and morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cv. Centenário were evaluated under field conditions in Roraima´s savannas.

Soil seed banks in three restored wildlife corridors; implications for linear habitats in tropical environments

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Restoring habitat corridors between fragments and continuous forests can potentially counter the effects of isolation, especially in tropical forests where species sensitivity to fragmentation is high. The ability of restored linear habitats to absorb natural disturbance in inimical surroundings potentially reflects resilience, an important aim of ...

The role of competition in moderating plant–soil feedback for restoring ecosystems invaded by Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi)

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Abstract Introduction Ecosystem restoration requires the management of invasive plants due to the harmful effects they have on both above‐ and belowground ecosystem processes. Belowground soil modifications by invasive plants, particularly those driven by plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs), are thought to significantly influence an invader's success by ...

Widespread negative effects of Leucaena leucocephala (white‐popinac) invasion on regenerating areas of the Atlantic Forest

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Fragment of Atlantic Forest (left) naturally regenerating in an abandoned pasture (centre) and being invaded by a large patch of white‐popinac (Leucaena leucocephala; right). This image summarizes the scenario of invasion by white‐popinac that is directly threatening forest regeneration and its native diversity.

TOLERÂNCIA DE CULTIVARES DE Megathyrsus maximus AO ESTRESSE HÍDRICO

Nativa
O Brasil é um país com grande diversidade edafoclimática, de modo que a pecuária pode estar localizada em regiões sujeitas ao déficit hídrico e alagamento. Diante disso, é importante conhecer a resposta dos cultivares forrageiros a estas condições de estresse hídrico. Sendo assim, objetivou-se com esse trabalho identificar qual a tolerância ao estresse

Understanding the impacts of intensity and harvest frequency on Tithonia diversifolia for use in tropical silvopastoral systems

Grassland Science, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 149-163, October 2025.
Abstract Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray has significant potential as a forage source in silvopastoral systems, particularly in tropical conditions. However, its intensity and frequency management differ from those commonly applied to grasses. This study aims to evaluate T. diversifolia under two harvest intensities (30 and 40 cm stubble height)
