[QUOTE="kciD, post: 916129, member: 18321"] as long as you don't graze it too hard-- then they'll chew the valueable tree crop. Most often in a silvapasture setting (I was a forestry major)-- the trees are planted to a set stocking desity-- which means not overcrowded- and as they mature-- they are even thinned less... Most often in a natural forest type setting they are crowded... When trees are crowded-- they produce shade, duh-- most species of desirable plants (grasses especially) are not shade tollerant, which means grows in 100% shade. Sivlapasture works because the ground is not shaded--the trees are not dense- and as a result-- good stands of grasses and legumes can be maintained either for pasture or hay... [/QUOTE]
