Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland
Description
The integration of grasses and trees strips (silvopastoral systems, SPS) planted on the contours can be economically beneficial and at the same time reduce erosion (Schaller et al.., 2003). The production of the grass component varies depending on the orientation of the tree strips and distance between trees (Rakocevic & Ribaski, 2003). The aim of this study was to determine the leaf anatomical and functional properties of Brachiaria brizantha Hochst. ex A. Rich. (Bb), in a SPS with Corymbia citriodora Hook. (Cc), in relation to tree orientation and proximity, during one dry period.
