The aim of this work was to verify if the presence of trees and its height in formed silvipastoral systems with eucalyptus planted in rank can modify the microclimate and improve the environment for bovine raising during the day in summer. It was evaluated the microclimate of the environment in formed silvipastoral systems in rank of eucalyptus with 8 m, 18 m and 28 meters of height, compared to a system no shade in the summer. The experimental design was […]

The research was carried out at the Centro de Assessoria e Apoio aos Trabalhadores e Instituições Não-Governamentais, Alternativas (CAATINGA) in the Ouricuri county, state of Pernambuco, Brazil, in the period of 1989-1994, with the objective of comparing different practices of woody vegetation manipulation, as alternatives of sustainable pastoral management of caatinga and determining their viability to the small producers. Plots measuring 25 x 100 m had the woody vegetation submitted to the following experimental treatments: deforestation, thinning, thinning-lowering, lowering and […]
