One of the more interesting talks that I've heard over the years on grazing or silvopasturing was by Dr. Gene Garrett at the 2011 Northeast Silvopasture Conference titled: Silvopasture Ecosystem Services. A copy of the presentation is archived at: https://cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/blogs.cornell.edu/dist/d/5957/files/2...
This article on the role that trees play in phosphorous solubilization (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2020.567918/full) reminded me of Dr. Garrett's talk, and also of the many symbiotic benefits of adding trees in to agricultural systems.
