Do light and alfalfa responses to cloth and slatted shade represent those measured under an agroforestry system? (2011, background): “…of leaf elongation and increased leaf area in grasses under low irradiance environments (Smith 1982; Dias-Filho 2000; Lin et al. 2001; Peri et al. 2007), but that is usually followed by a decrease in nutritive value measured in available herbage energy (Lin et al. 2001; Belesky et al. 2006).”
Performance of dairy heifers in a silvopastoral system (2011, background): “Variations in NDF and ADF content seem to be related to the interaction of the shade percentage with the stage of maturity of the plant (Lin et al., 2001; Sousa et al., 2010).”
Trees improve grass quality for herbivores in African savannas (2007, background): “High NDF contents SC might have been caused by the high abundance of shade-loving Panicum maximum (Wong and Wilson, 1980), a species which also contains high cell wall proportions, associated with taller growth and larger inter-nodal distances (Lin et al., 2001).”
