Aims Natural vegetation plays an important role in global carbon cycling and storage.Thus,the Cerrado(Brazilian savannah)is considered a carbon sink because of its intrinsic characteristics.Our aim was to evaluate how...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the cultivation of perennial herbaceous legumes on weed control and yield of the coffee crop in the Cerrado. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four repl...
