Integrating livestock into no-till systems has been shown to increase environmental services through improved biodiversity and by reconnecting and tightening the nutrient flows in agroecosystems. A seven-year case study of an integrated system in Brazil is provided to support this claim as well as to illustrate that benefits provided by combining crop and pasture systems are dependent upon grazing management.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightIntegrated crop managementCarbon sequestrationControlled grazingBiodiversitySoil managementAgrobiodiversityNutrient recyclingRotational grazingGrasslandsConservation tillageGrazing systemsOver grazingBiogeochemical cyclesBrazilConservation agricultureGrazing intensityMixed systemsNutrient cyclingSoil qualityFarm/Enterprise Scale Field ScaleAbstractCopyright 2010 Springer Science + Business Media B.V.https://doi.org/10.1007/s10705-010-9360-x
