Profile

Dr. Liliane Silva is an Assistant Professor and the Forages Specialist. She is in the Animal and Veterinary Sciences Department at Clemson University. She received her B.S. in Agronomy, and her M.S. in Pasture and Animal Sciences from the University of Sao Paulo. Then, she graduated with her Ph.D. degree from the University of Florida. Then, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Auburn University. Dr. Silva has statewide responsibilities and her research focuses on better understanding how management strategies can improve forage agronomic and nutritive responses and enhance the production, sustainability, profitability, and resilience of forage-livestock systems. She is currently working with grazing summer and winter cover crops, measuring greenhouse gases from forage-livestock systems, determining soil C and N accumulation, among other projects.

Research Interests

Dr. Silva's main interests encompass forage physiology, establishment and management, nutrient cycling dynamics, multispecies forage-based systems and ecosystem services delivered by grasslands. She also focuses on developing improved management practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint of forage and livestock systems.

Extension and Outreach

Development of multi-disciplinary forage-systems-related educational coursework and resources (e.g., courses, books, training) within the state, region, and nationally.
She also develops online content through her media platforms entitled 'Forage Drops' (link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2fj2-Vnat-_GR6rFmLz8Ag) and more information about her research program can be found at the Clemson Forages Team webpage: https://blogs.clemson.edu/forageslab/
