Grazing and neighborhood interactions limit woody encroachment in wet subtropical savannas
(2014-12)Woody encroachment in savannas is a worldwide concern, and there is growing consensus that anthropogenic activities play a central role in changing tree – grass interactions. We evaluated the influence of livestock grazing ... -
Grazing diverse combinations of tanniferous and nontanniferous legumes: implications for foraging behavior, performance, and hair cortisol in beef cattle
(American Society of Animal Science, 2021-10-17)A diversity of forages with different types and concentrations of nutrients and plant secondary compounds may lead to complementary relationships that enhance cattle performance and welfare. We determined whether grazing ... -
Grazing increases evapotranspiration without the cost of lowering soil water storages in arid ecosystems
(2017-09)Grazing is the predominant land use practice in arid environments; however, there are relatively few studies of grazing effects on ecosystem functioning. We assessed the impact of grazing on soil moisture, evapotranspiration ... -
Grazing intensity levels influence C reservoirs of wet and mesic meadows along a precipitation gradient in Northern Patagonia
(Springer, 2015-06)Wet meadows are important ecosystems for forage production and as carbon reservoirs in semi-arid areas. In Patagonia, Argentina, large areas of wet meadows have been classified as overgrazed by livestock. The objective of ... -

Greenhouse gas emissions from beef grazing systems in semi-arid rangelands of central Argentina
(MDPI, 2018-11)The livestock sector can be a major contributor to the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Within the sector, beef production produces the largest proportion of the livestock sector’s direct emissions. The objective ... -
Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Green-Harvested Sugarcane With and Without Post-harvest Burning in Tucumán, Argentina
(2014-06)Concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere are increasing due to anthropogenic actions, and agriculture is one of the most important contributors. This study quantified GHG emissions from green-cane harvested ... -
Greenhouse gasses emissions and energy balances of a non-vertically integrated sugar and ethanol supply chain: A case study in Argentina
(2013-06-01)In order to address society's concerns regarding the sustainability of sugar and ethanol production and use, this paper calculates the energy and greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions' balances of a non-vertically integrated ... -
