An assessment of silvopastoral systems condition and their capacity to generate ecosystem services in the Colombian Amazon
Álvarez, Faver; Casanoves, Fernando; Suarez, Juan Carlos; Rusch, Graciela Monica; Bieng, Marie Ange Ngo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Livestock production in the Colombian Amazonia is typically dual-purpose (meat and milk) based on silvopastoral systems. We aimed to assess how the ecological condition of these systems correspond to the ecosystem services ... -

Composición florística de pastizales en Muy Muy y Rivas, Nicaragua
Morales, Julio; Rusch, Graciela; Casanoves, Fernando; Söderström, Lars; Rocha, Lester (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)A pesar de ser ecosistemas manejados, surgidos de la transformación de ambientes naturales, los pastizales compuestos por especies nativas y exóticas pueden tener un papel importante en la conservación de la biodiversidad ... -
Determinants of grassland primary productionin seasonally-dry silvopastoral systems in Central America
Rusch, Graciela; Zapata, P.C.; Casanoves, Fernando; Casals, Pere; Ibrahim, M.; DeClerck, Fabrice (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Grassland primary productivity is the function that underpins the majority of the fodder production in cattle-rearing silvopastoral farms. Hence, understanding the factors that determine grassland productivity is ... -
Higher leaf nitrogen content is linked to tighter stomatalregulation of transpiration and more efficient water use acrossdryland trees
Querejeta, José Ignacio; Prieto, Ivan; Armas, Cristina; Casanoves, Fernando; Diémé, Joseph S.; Diouf, Mayécor; Yossi, Harouna; Kaya, Bocary; Pugnaire, Francisco I.; Rusch, Graciela (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The least-cost economic theory of photosynthesis shows that water and nitrogen are mutu-ally substitutable resources to achieve a given carbon gain. However, vegetation in the Sahelhas to cope with the dual challenge imposed ... -
Influencia de los árboles en la vegetación herbácea de sistemas ganaderos del trópico seco de Nicaragua
Zapata, Piedad; Rusch, Graciela; Ibrahim, Muhammad; DeClerk, Fabrice; Casanoves, Fernando; Beer, John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Se estudiaron las características estructurales de tres especies forestales y su efecto sobre la productividad primaria neta aérea y la composición florística de pastizales naturales en el trópico seco de Nicaragua. Las ... -
More stable productivity of semi natural grasslands than sown pastures in a seasonally dry climate
Ospina, Sonia; Rusch, Graciela; Pezo, Danilo; Casanoves, Fernando; Sinclair, Fergus L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)In the Neotropics the predominant pathway to intensify productivity is generally thought to be to convert grasslands to sown pastures, mostly in monoculture. This article examines how above-ground net primary productivity ...
