• LivestockPlus - The sustainable intensification of forage-based agricultural systems to improve livelihoods and ecosystem services in the tropics * (2015, unknown): “As pastures degrade, productivity and organic matter inputs decrease, non-palatable plant species invade, vegetative cover is reduced (thus increasing susceptibility to erosion), soils become compacted and more acidic, and microbial biomass decreases (Macedo 1997; Oliveira et al. 2004).”
• Estimating the world's potentially available cropland using a bottom-up approach (2013, background): “At least 50% of the Cerrado’s cultivated pastures are severely degraded (Oliveira et al., 2004) and dominated by invasive species.”
