ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effects of two forage allowance levels (5 and 10 kg DM/100 kg LW/day) and mowing on species diversity, botanical composition, and structural attributes in native subtropical grasslands of Northeast Argentina. Over three grazing cycles, all treatments maintained high species diversity (Shannon–Wiener ≈ 2; richness >30). Significant cycle effects were observed for species richness and evenness, which increased in the third cycle. Lower forage allowance favored short Poaceae and legumes, while higher allowance maintained taller swards […]
