The Flooding PampasFlooding Pampa in Buenos Aires Province is one of Argentina's cattle-raising areas. Climatic, topographic and edaphic conditions limit its potential in this area for growing crops such as soybeanSoybean and wheat. The introduction of L. tenuis in the Flooding PampasFlooding Pampa area triggered research based on its ability to tolerate the abiotic stresses that characterize the region and on its role in the improvement of the quality of forageForage resources. Along with research on abiotic stress tolerance, productive strategies have been developed to enhance the establishment of L. tenuis grasslandGrassland and beef productionBeef production. Research on LotusLotus spp. in the Flooding PampasFlooding Pampa has therefore studied not only the biotechnological development and evaluation of new plant resources, but also the accompanying plant diversity, soil microorganismsMicroorganisms and symbionts and their impact on environmental dynamics and sustainability. Based on this research, productive strategies have been designed, including continuous evaluation of the impact of cattle production on vulnerable ecosystemsVulnerable ecosystems. In addition, basic and applied research on grasslandsGrassland have been combined in order to respond to the environmental impact of the introduction and use of LotusLotus in these particular ecosystemsEcosystems.
