“…Grassland-based feedstock is a sustainable way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with animal products (Soussana et al, 2010;Thompson et al, 2023). The inclusion of perennial species such as perennial forage crops and trees has a high potential for storing carbon in soil and trunk and also has a positive impact on the environment by providing all-technique, to improve forage quality and the seasonal distribution of biomass production compared to monocultures (Bambo et al, 2009;Hanish et al, 2022;Mantino et al, 2016). Overseeding cool-season grasses (e.g., black oat (Avena strigosa Schreb), oat (Avena sativa L.), and annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.)…”

“…However, they are mainly grown as monoculture. Studies have described the potential of grass mixtures, for example, those obtained by the overseeding technique, to improve forage quality and the seasonal distribution of biomass production compared to monocultures (Bambo et al., 2009; Hanish et al., 2022; Mantino et al., 2016).

The overseeding of cool‐season species into dormant warm‐season species and tree inclusion in open pastures are potential options for improving forage quality and for extending the grazing period, thus contributing to sustainable livelihoods. However, warm‐season species respond differently to cool‐season overseeding. To our knowledge, there are no reports concerning the use of the overseeding method in limpograss [Hemarthria altissima (Poir.) Stapf & Hubb.] pastures, particularly in silvopastoral systems. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the suitability of oat (Avena sativa L.) overseeding into a limpograss pasture in two systems located in a subtropical region, silvopastoral vs. open pasture, for three consecutive years. The presence of trees had a significant impact on dry matter yield and animal gain per hectare (Gha) during periods of drought. A maximum Gha of 363 kg live weight (LW) ha−1 was observed on limpograss pasture, over 139 days of grazing, after oat overseeding. In contrast, the maximum Gha on oat pasture was only 174 kg LW ha−1. However, it was still possible to obtain up to 112 grazing days in an area that would be fallow in winter. The maximum annual profit obtained was $ 673.0 ha−1 in the second year, with no differences between systems. To increase economic profits, farmers may search for strategies that add value to silvopastoral products.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

“…Yerba mate evolved in an integrated way with several forest species, being tolerant to low temperatures and shading, in soils with low pH, high levels of aluminium, and low levels of exchangeable cations, showing symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [26]. The yerba mate production occurs in monoculture systems under full sun exposure, as well as in agroforestry systems with traditional and agroecological management (mostly without fertilisation) [28,29], and in silvopastoral systems known as Caíva [30], with yerba mate growing under the Araucaria Forest canopy.…”

Soils are a source of natural capital that provide and regulate a range of ecosystem services (ES) and play an important role in sustaining human welfare. Nonetheless, the quality and quantity of soil ecosystem services (SES) delivery over the long term depend on the use of sustainable land management practices. In the present study, we assessed seven SES using a set of soil quality indicators in four production systems based on yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil) in the Araucaria Forest biome of Southern Brazil: two sites were under traditional agroecological agroforestry management, one was a silvopastoral system with dairy pasture, and the last one was a monoculture yerba mate production system. The SES measured were soil fertility, carbon sequestration, erosion control, nutrient cycling, plant provision, biodiversity, and health. Soil samples were collected at various depths and analysed for chemical, physical, and biological attributes. A principal component analysis on the dataset showed that the soil quality indicators that best represent the variance between the systems at the 0–10 cm layer were acidity, microbial activity (FDA), total nitrogen, (TN), structural stability index (SSI), cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH, sum of bases (SB), microbial quotient (qMic), density of earthworms (EwD), bulk density (BD), and carbon stocks (Cstock). Soil quality indicators ranging from 0 to 1 were used to graphically represent the set of SES. The indicator-based approach used to explain the differences among the four production systems was able to capture the soil functions and offered a good starting point for quantifying SES provision.
