Three key findings from the study: 1) Calcium and magnesium levels were higher in the top 20 cm of soil in the silvopastoral system compared to the pasture alone, due to nutrient extraction by the legume tree Pterodon emarginatus. 2) The silvopastoral system had higher levels of organic carbon and organic matter throughout the soil profile compared to the pasture alone. This increased soil fertility and carbon sequestration. 3) Overall, 23% more organic carbon was found in the silvopastoral system, demonstrating its benefits for soil health and carbon storage.
