We evaluated the annual net primary productivity (ANPP) on understory in secondary Nothofagus antarctica forests under silvopastoral systems in Patagonia. We assessed the effect of thinning and estimated understory ANPP using biomass cropping and remote sensing. Thinning was conducted with a remaini...
