Regarding the diversity of tree species, it was found that the use of trees dispersed in pastures was the use that presented the greatest diversity of tree species, followed by live fences and the protein fodder bank,\" said Monzon. <em>Fabaceae<\/em> la m\u00e1s representativa. En lo que respecta a la diversidad de especies arb\u00f3reas, se encontr\u00f3 que el uso de \u00e1rboles dispersos en potreros, es el uso que present\u00f3 mayor diversidad de especies arb\u00f3reas, seguido de las cercas vivas y del banco forrajero proteico\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Monz\u00f3n.<\/p><p>Regarding water infiltration capacity in the different land uses in the two municipalities, Indil\u00ed found that there are differences in the amount of water infiltration in the different livestock land uses, with the use of dispersed trees in paddocks having the greatest water infiltration capacity compared to live fences, protein fodder banks and monoculture pasture.<\/p><p>Finally, Indil\u00ed pointed out that, undoubtedly, the presence of trees improves water infiltration in soils, but if animal grazing is poorly managed in pastures with scattered trees, in live fences and in protein fodder banks, water infiltration can be equal to or less than in monoculture pastures, mainly due to trampling and soil compaction.<\/p><p>Jos\u00e9 Antonio Jim\u00e9nez, local coordinator of the BioPaSOS project in Chiapas, explained that the information generated in this research will be very useful for BioPaSOS and its local partners, such as REBISE, of the Natural Protected Areas Commission (CONANP), the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (SAGyP), and the Ministry of Environment and Natural History (SEMHN). As well other stakeholders, Livestock and Fisheries (SAGyP) and the Secretariat of Environment and Natural History (SEMHN), and other actors, will have information that will serve as a basis for future research, or to design programs or policies that promote sustainable livestock development in the state of Chiapas.<\/p><p>Project BioPaSOS is implemented by CATIE, with the support of the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), in coordination with the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRICULTURA), with funding from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) and together with multiple local partners in their territories of intervention.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"13957\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion2-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"13956\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion3-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion3-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"13958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion4-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion4-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"349\" data-id=\"13955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion5.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion5-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.catie.ac.cr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/infiltracion5-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/figure><\/div><\/div><p><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>More information<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Antonio Jim\u00e9nez<br><br>Local Coordinator in Chiapas<br><br>Biodiversity and Sustainable Agro-silvopastoral Landscapes  (BioPaSOS)<br><br>CATIE<br><a href=\"mailto:joseanji@catie.ac.cr\">joseanji@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><p><strong>Written by:<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<p>Karla Salazar Leiva<\/p>\n\n<p>Communicator<\/p>\n\n<p>Information Technology and Communication<\/p>\n\n<p>CATIE<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr\">karla.salazar@catie.ac.cr<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estudiantes de la UNACH caracterizaron los sistemas silvopastoriles y la capacidad de infiltraci\u00f3n de los suelos de estos sistemas que est\u00e1n implementando las familias productoras para desarrollar la ganader\u00eda sustentable en sus ranchos 25 de agosto de 2022.
