摘要：Climate change increases the vulnerability of agricultural production, mainly because it often causes stress to plants. Thus, this review presented the limiting factors in the development of forage plants and how these individuals respond in stressful situations. The factors that are linked to development, consequently with plant production, are water, light, temperature, soil and nutrients. Each of these factors acts differently in plants, from metabolic processes to plant mass productivity. Thus, for plants to develop efficiently, these factors must act within a range that allows them to perform their basic functions of growth and development. However, if one of these growth factors is acting negatively, that is, it is not within the adequate level that the plant needs, it can subject plants to stress conditions, depending on its intensity and duration over the plant. The growth factors directly influence the morphogenic characteristics, and, consequently, the structural characteristics and grazing management, the latter is also considered a limiting factor in the development of plants, due to its importance for animal production, in which a balance between animal and plant productivity. In this sense, understanding how the growth factors act on the development of plants is fundamental for constructing models that help in the efficient management, mainly for grasses under stress conditions and under the pasture system.
