In recent times, silvopastoral systems gain increasing attention due to their various ecological and economic benefits. They have the potential to be a more sustainable alternative to common intensive land-use practices and monocultures and to mitigate climate change effects in agriculture. Interactions between woody and non-woody components in agroforestry can enhance e.g., nutrient and water cycling, microclimatic conditions and raise productivity compared to non-agroforestry systems because of complementary resource capture. Still, silvopastoral systems are economically unproven land-use...
