Two articles about hardwood silvopasture management in North America
Hi everyone!
Here are two interesting journal articles about silvopasture in the hardwood regions of the United States-
Hardwood silvopasture in North America by H.E. Garrett, M.S. Kerley, K.P. Ladyman, W.D. Walter, L.D. Godsey, J.W. Van Sambeek and D.K. Brauer
The University of Missouri completed research to try to minimize the gap in silvopasture management of hardwoods in the US. This article discusses the short-term positive effects of grazing trials, and how long-term trails are needed to fully quantify the interactions between cattle, forage and hardwood trees.
