英文摘要	There is a widespread concern about the negative impact of intensive livestock farming on climate change and biodiversity loss. We analyzed the trade-off between meat production and environmental variables related to global warming-energy consumption, use efficiency of energy, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, carbon footprint, and GHG balance-of two alternative intensification strategies of livestock farming in the Flooding Pampa: conventional intensification (CI) based on external inputs, and ecological intensification (EI) based on maintaining native grassland in good condition through adaptive multi-paddock grazing (AMPG). We also explored the relationship between meat production and the economic variables gross margin and its year-to-year variation. Energy consumption was positively correlated with meat production (rho = 0.95, p = 0.0117), and EI farms consumed less fuel energy and showed higher energy use efficiency than CI farms (294 +/- 152 vs. 2740 +/- 442 MJ ha(-1) y(-1), 38.4 +/- 28.8 vs. 1.23 +/- 0.13 MJ kg LW-1 y(-1), p < 0.05, respectively). GHG emissions and carbon footprint did not show significant differences between EI and CI strategies. As soil carbon sequestration was significantly higher in EI farms than in CI farms (1676 +/- 304 vs. -433 +/- 343 kg CO2eq ha(-1) y(-1), p < 0.05), GHG balance resulted almost neutral and higher under the EI strategy (-693 +/- 732 vs. -3520 +/- 774 kg CO2eq ha(-1) y(-1), p < 0.05). CI strategy obtained higher meat production but a similar gross margin to the EI strategy and a more unstable economic return, as the coefficient of variation in the gross margin doubled that of the EI strategy (84 + 13.3 vs. 43 + 2.6, respectively, p < 0.05). Ecological intensification of cattle production in the Flooding Pampa demonstrates the potential for a positive relationship between individual cattle farmers' profits and overall societal benefits, as reflected in improved environmental performance.
