ABSTRACT Centipedes and millipedes promote important functions in the ecosystem. However, land use intensification in agricultural areas can reduce the abundance and diversity of these organisms. To understand the effect of grazing intensification on communities of centipedes and millipedes, we sampled these organisms in an integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) experiment, cultivated for 13 years with soybean (Glycine max) in the summer and black oat (Avena strigosa) + Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) for cattle grazing in the winter. Treatments consisted of […]
