<b>Light relations and performance of signal grass in silvopastoral system

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The aim was to evaluate the influence of different spatial arrangements of trees [(3×2)×20 m, (2×2)×9 m and 2×9 m] and sampling sites (center of row spacing and side of tree rows) with regard to the amount and quality of light in the understory of silvopastoral systems and their effects on the production and chemical composition of pasture. The experimental design was a randomized block in a split plot, with three replications. The sampling site affected absolute irradiance, photosynthetic active rad… Show more

“…In this way, it is believed that the canopies of the SPS trees work as filters that, consequently, change the wavelength of the light that reaches the understory of theses systems in relation to the light that hits the arboreal community. Thus, important wavelengths for forage development can be absorbed in high concentrations by treetops, which change the quality of the light hitting the SPS pasture, thus resulting in the effective reduction in forage yield (Rodrigues et al, 2014). It is worth reporting that this effect is greater as the spatial arrangement of trees becomes denser.…”

“…Ressalta-se também, que as árvores do sistema silvipastoril encontravam-se estabelecidas há oito anos, o que significa que as mesmas já possuíam porte elevado e copa mais densa. Além disso, o espaçamento utilizado foi pequeno em vista dos trabalhos realizados nos últimos anos que tem preconizado distâncias acima de 12 m (Kirchner et al 2010;Paciullo et al 2012;Bosi et al, 2014;Rodrigues et al, 2014) para melhorar o nível de produção de forragem no estrato herbáceo do SSP.…”

“…According to Rodrigues et al (2014), shading in silvopastoral systems reduces irradiation and changes the spectrum of light (red:extreme red) reaching the grass canopy in Urochloa decumbens pastures. These changes may decrease temperatures, increasing air humidity, reducing evapotranspiration and increasing soil humidity (FELDHAKE, 2001).…”
