| Although bigleaf mahogany [Swietenia macrophylla King (Meliaceae)] is the premier timber species of Latin America, its exploitation is unsustainable because of a pattern of local depletion and shifting supply. We surveyed experts on the status of mahogany in Bolivia and Peru, the world's past and present largest exporters. Bolivia no longer has commercially viable mahogany (trees > 60 cm diameter at breast height) across 79% of its range. In Peru, mahogany's range has shrunk by 50%, and, within a decade, a further 28% will be logged out. Approximately 15% of the mahogany range in these two countries is protected, but low densities and illegal logging mean that this overestimates the extent of mahogany under protection. The international community... |

| The aim of this work was to determine ways of using Sorghastrum setosum ranges for beef cattle production, based on dry matter production (MS), nutritional compounds, in vitro organic matter digestibility (DIVMO), energy and mineral element contents in forage harvested in different seasons of the year. The experiment was carried out in representative plots, located in the eastern region of Formosa Province (25°10-28°00 S lat, 58°15-59°20 W long, 65 m.o.s.l.), Argentina, where natural pastures represent 70% of the cattle area and 70% of the provincial bovine population is concentrated. The area has a rainy temperate climate. The geomorphology has low hills and marshlands, with temporary and frequent flooding. Flora composition, utility grade and... |
