“…higher stocking rates (Martha, Alves, & Contini, 2012) and overcoming seasonality constraints through storage (Fetzel et al, 2016)), taking advantage of high-yielding and better adapted grass varieties (McDonagh, O'Donovan, McEvoy, & Gilliland, 2016), or higher inputs (e.g. fertilization) that reduce limiting factors, increase yields and reverse degradation (de Oliveira Silva et al, 2017). In this study, we did not account for intensification that may happen in response to a protection of natural ecosystems and changing economic conditions (Eitelberg, van Vliet, Doelman, Stehfest, & Verburg, 2016;Merry & Soares-Filho, 2017;Schmitz et al, 2015).…”
