Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze and discuss the data on the interactions of silvipatoril on the emission of greenhouse gases related to profeto FAPESP entitled "Balance of greenhouse gases in silvopastoral system" and to evaluate the effect of pruning in different seasons in regrowth of trees and the effect of the canopy of trees for pasture production. The study experimental data relating to the research project FAPESP number 2012 will be held in Uviversidade Massey, located in Palmerston North, New Zealand, in the period January to June 2014 will be used for discussions of results and preparation of articles, / 14910-6, which will be discussed to better model the statistical analysis for these data. The experiment in silvopastoral be in an area of silvopastoral already deployed, belonging to Massey University. The treatments consist of pruning performed on poplar trees (Populus nigra and P. deltoides) in three seasons (winter, spring and summer) in silvopastoral environment. The design is a randomized block design with three blocks per treatment. Chemical composition, density and soil moisture will be measured; height, crown diameter, root growth of trees and the accumulation and species composition of natural pasture in each treatment. (AU)
