    Se estudi? el efecto de dos especies arb?reas (Acacia mangium y Eucalyptus deglupta) sobre la productividad y eficiencia del uso de radiaci?n (EUR) en tres gram?neas Brachiaria brizantha, B. decumbens y Panicum maximum) en Gu?piles, provincia de Lim?n, Costa Rica. La especie de mayor producci?n de materia seca, energ?a metabolizable y prote?na cruda fue P. maximum, que super? a B. brizantha y B. decumbens (34.8, 19.2 y 14.0 t MS ha-1 a?o-1; 12.3, 5.9 y 4.0 Gcal ha-1 ciclo-1; 533, 298 y 201 kg PC ha-1 ciclo-1, respectivamente). La eficiencia del uso de radiaci?n (EUR) fue mayor en las ?reas sombreadas que en las expuestas al sol. P. maximum fue la gram?nea de mayor EUR, respecto a B. brizantha y B. decumbens (3.6, 1.8 y 1.4 g MS MJ-1).The effect of two tree species (Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus deglupta) on the productivity and radiation use efficiency (RUE) of three grasses (Brachiaria brizantha, B. decumbens and Panicum maximum) was studied in Gu?piles, Costa Rica. P. maximum was the species of greater production of dry matter, metabolizable energy and crude protein, outproducing B. brizantha and B. decumbens (34.8, 19.2 and 14.0 t DM ha-1 year-1; 12.3, 5.9 and 4.0 Gcal ha-1 cycle-1; 533, 298 and 201 kg CP ha-1 cycle-1, respectively). The radiation use efficiency (RUE) was greater in shaded zones than in those exposed to sun. P. maximum was the grass with the greatest RUE, exceeding B. brizantha and B. decumbens (3.6, 1.8 and 1.4 g DM MJ-1)

    5 ilus. 29 ref.Se evalu? la escorrent?a superficial, la capacidad de infiltraci?n, la conductividad hidr?ulica del suelo y la cobertura vegetal en cuatro sistemas de uso de la tierra en la zona de recarga de la subcuenca del r?o Jabonal, Costa Rica. Los sistemas evaluados fueron: pasturas nativas sobrepastoreadas sin ?rboles, pasturas nativas con ?rboles, pasturas mejoradas con ?rboles y un bosque secundario intervenido. La escorrent?a superficial mostr? un comportamiento inverso a la cobertura arb?rea en las fincas ganaderas se determin? una correlaci?n negativa de la cobertura arb?rea y del ?rea basal con respecto a la escorrent?a superficial. La capacidad de infiltraci?n present? una correlaci?n positiva con la cobertura de ?rboles y el ?rea basal, lo que implica que la infiltraci?n mejor? donde hay una mayor cobertura arb?rea. Los sistemas silvopastoriles presentaron caracter?sticas hidrol?gicas de escorrent?a e infiltraci?n intermedias entre las pasturas sobrepastoreadas y los bosques secundarios. Esto demuestra sus beneficios potenciales para recuperar y mejorar el manejo de pasturas en la subcuenca del r?o Jabonal. Superficial runoff, infiltration capacity, hydraulic conductivity, and vegetal cover were evaluated in four land use systems in the recharge area of Jabonal River sub-watershed, Costa Rica. The systems evaluated were: overgrazed native pasture with no trees, native pasture with trees, improved pastures with trees, and intervened secondary forest. Superficial runoff and forest cover showed and inverse relationship in the cattle ranches evaluated a negative correlation between forest cover and basal area, and superficial runoff was found. Infiltration capacity showed a positive correlation with forest cover and basal area it implied that infiltration improved with forest cover. Silvopastoral systems showed intermediate runoff and infiltration values, evidencing potential benefits for pasture management and recovery in the Jabonal River sub-watershed
