Dry matter production of grass was measured from and underneath the tree canopy in 1983 and 1984 in order to compare the effect of a variety of intervals between cuts and to measure shadow influence. Grass growth mainly occured from late January to early July; it began later at Cedrus-Quercus and low grass sites and stopped earlier at pure Quercus and Quercus-Juniperus sites, depending on longer frost persistence at highest levels, on earlier arrival of drought at lowest levels. Mean dry matter production was 2.5 kg h 1a d-! on light 30 cm deep soils at Quercus-Juniperus level and dolomitic soils at Cedrus-Quercus level. It was 5.5 kg ha-! d i- on colluvial soils at pure Quercus level and basaltic soil at lowgrass level Water balance and legume species abundance explained a great part of D.M. variance. Four cuts per year were more productive than three or five. Missing the earliest cuts resulted in much lower D.M. yields: a half with two cuts; three of five with an only cut per year. Shadow poorly reduced the yield up to a forest canopy cover of about 60%: from 35 to 65% cover, the canopy resulted in 30% fall in seasonal yield as water supply was not limiting, but had no effect as relative water deficit occurred. A pasture and forestry mixed system, aiming a canopy of 60 to 70% cover, would result in better conditions for cattle breeding and timber as a whole.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
