Development of the soil macrofauna community under silvopastoral and agrosilvicultural systems in Amazonia
In the Brazilian Amazon region, millions of hectares of forest land have been converted into cattle pastures and then been abandoned. Agroforestry is a potential option for the transformation of in parts degraded lands into productive agricultural systems. The re-establishment of a diversified soil...

In the Brazilian Amazon region, millions of hectares of forest land have been converted into cattle pastures and then been abandoned.
