N fixation and N2O emissions in silvopastoral systems based on Urochloa grasses & Leucaena shrub legume

Description

Silvopastoral systems provide a number of environmental and productive benefits compared to grass-alone pastures (Shultze-kraft et al 2018) in terms of:

  • increased forage biomass offer and quality
  • nutrient cycling
  • biodiversity
    cash flow, among other ecosystem services

From nutritional angle inclusion of forage legumes in the diet should be about 30% what does the silvopastoral in the study provide?

Interesting results. Now, they need to be tested under socio-economic and gender lenses remains (with and without access to carbon market scenarios) .

How were N2O emissions measured?

Were N2O emissions assumed to come from urine patches? Were urine patches mapped somehow?

How was N fixation measured?
