ABSTRACT Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS) foster synergistic relationships to increase nitrogen (N) cycling and soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual in agricultural setups. This study evaluated how the grazing intensity and N fertilization (rates and timing) affect both SOC and N fractions, and soil organic matter chemical composition in an ICLS managed under no-tillage in an Oxisol, six years after initiation. The ICLS was compared to a nearby pasture (PA) and a native forest (NF). The treatments consisted of two grazing […]
