Danos causados por bovinos em diferentes espécies arbóreas recomendadas para sistemas silvipastoris.

We assessed the damage done by cattle in three species of trees in a silvopastoral system implanted in the subtropical region of Brazil. The species Sch terebinthifolius (Raddi), Grevillea robusta (A. Cunn. Ex R. Br) and Eucalyptus d (Maiden), were planted in single rows (14 m x 3 m) to compose a silvopastoral sys During the first three years, the area was used for grain production in alley crop systems. After 41 months of planting trees cattle were first introduced in the area. Five classes of damage intensity were established: no damage, low, medium, high extreme. The damage to the bark of trees were larger than those caused to the cr The trees of S. terebinthifolius were more damaged by cattle. The maintenance terebinthifolius trees in silvopastoral system is not recommended because the dam done by cattle is of extreme intensity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
