Abstract
The abundance, richness, diversity and species composition of seedlings, saplings and adult trees and shrubs were compared in 46 active pastures in the municipality of Muy Muy, Matagalpa,Nicaragua, in order to identify their potential to naturally regenerate in active pastures. A total of 6,378 seedlings (height < 30 cm), 5,698 saplings (height > 30 cm and dbh < 10 cm) and 1,769 adults (dbh > 10cm) from 85 tree and shrub species were found. Thirty seven species had high regeneration rates in active pastures, while the remaining species showed possible limitations at different stages of regeneration. These results indicate that under the current extensive management conditions there is a high potential for establishing silvopastoral systems using natural regeneration
