Abstract

We evaluated the dynamics vegetation of grassland subjected to management factors fertilization and grazing, at four different locations in the counties of Pinheiro Machado and Piratini, located in the upper basin of the Rio Camaqua. The treatments were a combination of these factors. The estimate of the species composition and their biomass followed the procedures of the method BOTANAL field, with some adaptations, together with the composition of species have been described functional types of vegetation present, using leaf traits such as leaf area matter content and specific dry. There was a change in vegetation dynamics due to the interaction between evaluation periods, fertilization and grazing, showing a divergence of trajectories of vegetation. There was found a clear association between the functional types and environmental variables.
