Pasture growth and floristic composition under the shade of guava (Psidium guajava L.) trees in Costa Rica
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) trees in naturalized, unimproved pastures produce valuable firewood, fruit, shade, and other benefits. The effects of guavas on pasture growth and floristic composition were evaluated Shaded and non-shaded pastures are floristically very similar. Total growth under shade is 49-63 percent of that in the open. Axonopus compressus and Paspalum conjugatum were the most prominent grasses in both sun and shade.
