Eucalyptus tree influence on spatial and temporal dynamics of fine-root growth in an integrated crop-livestock-forestry system in southeastern Brazil

Wanderlei Bieluczyk et al.

Summary: Integrated farming systems are promising for improving land-use efficiency and sustainable agriculture. The introduction of Eucalyptus trees impaired root growth, with palisade grass pasture being more adaptable than corn in the studied system.

Integrated crop-livestock systems: A sustainable land-use alternative for food production in the Brazilian Cerrado and Amazon

Julio Cesar dos Reis et al.

Summary: The study found that Brazil faces challenges in food supply and rational use of environmental resources, with the integrated crop-livestock system showing balanced economic and environmental performance, while the continuous crop system performs poorly in environmental aspects but has the highest profitability. The livestock system performs poorly in both economic and environmental outcomes.

Eucalyptus tree stockings effect on water balance and use efficiency in subtropical sandy soil

Jose Miguel Reichert et al.

Summary: Adjusting Eucalyptus tree stocking can increase cellulose, timber, or bioenergy production, but its impact on ecosystem water balance is still understudied. Research on soil and catchment hydrology, as well as forest management, is needed to improve water use efficiency and streamflow regulation in understudied ecosystems. By studying different Eucalyptus tree stocking conditions, it is possible to quantify rainfall partitioning, soil water balance, and water use efficiency.

Managing eucalyptus trees in agroforestry systems: Productivity parameters and PAR transmittance

Jose Ricardo Macedo Pezzopane et al.

Summary: Agroforestry systems, including an integrated crop-livestock-forestry system (ICLF) and an integrated livestock-forest system (ILF), were evaluated for their productive characteristics and PAR transmission. The study found that ICLF had greater stem volume than ILF, with no significant differences in total biomass. Both agroforestry systems showed strong correlations between tree basal area and PAR transmission to pasture.
