Silvopastoral systems are considered win-win technologies: provide environmental services, increase cattle farm productivity, and are means to retain trees in agricultural landscapes. Two studies were conducted in active cattle farms in Cañas (Guanacaste, Costa Rica), located in tropical dry forest areas. The first study measured the availability of two contrasting grass species covered with native tree species, whereas the second study estimated fruit production of four most abundant tree species dispersed in pastures in the study zone. Brachiaria brizantha grass production was almost three times greater than that produced by Hyparrhenia rufa (14.7 vs. 5.3 t DM ha-1 yr-1) which may explain why farmers are changing native grass species b...
