Forage legumes in grass pastures in tropical Brazil and likely impacts on greenhouse gas emissions: A review

日本語

本レビューは、熱帯ブラジルの草地にマメ科飼料作物を導入することが温室効果ガス排出に与える影響をまとめている。マメ科植物の窒素固定能が肥料使用量を削減し、反芻動物のメタン排出を低減する可能性を指摘。持続可能な牧草管理の視点から総説。

English

This review examines the likely impacts of integrating forage legumes into grass pastures in tropical Brazil on greenhouse gas emissions. It highlights potential reductions in fertilizer use through biological nitrogen fixation and mitigation of enteric methane from ruminants, contributing to sustainable pasture management.

日本のGX文脈において

日本の畜産分野でも飼料自給率向上とGHG削減が課題だが、熱帯特有の条件を扱っており直接応用は難しい。ただし、マメ科作物導入による窒素施肥削減の考え方は参考になる。

In the global GX context

While focused on tropical Brazil, the review offers insights into how legume integration can reduce agricultural GHG emissions globally, particularly through reduced fertilizer use and improved forage quality. Relevant to global discussions on sustainable livestock and climate mitigation.
