More stable productivity of semi natural grasslands than sown pastures in a seasonally dry climate por Ospina, Sonia, Rusch, Graciela M., Pezo Quevedo, Danilo, Casanoves, Fernando, Sinclair, Fergus L.

“…In the Neotropics the predominant pathway to intensify productivity is generally thought to be to convert grasslands to sown pastures, mostly in monoculture. This article examines how above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) in seminatural grasslands and sown pastures in Central America respond to rainfall by: (i) assessing the relationships between ANPP and accumulated rainfall and indices of rainfall distribution, (ii) evaluating the variability of ANPP between and within seasons, and (iii) estimating the temporal stability of ANPP. …”
