More stable productivity of semi natural grasslands than sown pastures in a seasonally dry climate
(2015-01-27)
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 ...
