Description:	Adoption of silvopastoral systems (SS) in Brazil has been stimulated in the last decade. This work aimed to evaluate beef production under SS with eucalyptus using densities of 178 and 441 trees per ha and to compare it to a traditional monoculture Piatã grass pasture (PM) in the Brazilian Cerrado. Shading caused by the two tree densities, in the third year of the systems implementation did not cause changes neither on forage mass nor on its nutritive value. As consequence, results show that both SS did not differ from the PM for beef cattle production in the period studied, allowing better thermal comfort for grazing cattle, besides wood production and greenhouse gases mitigation.
