Forest Management In Agriculture, Horticulture And Forestry
Agro-forestry is the management and integration of trees, crops and/or livestock on the same plot of land and can be an integral component of productive agriculture. It may include existing native forests and forests established by landholders. It is a flexible concept, involving both small and large-sized land holdings. Agro-forestry has a lot in common with intercropping (the practice of planting two or more crops on the same plot) with both practices placing an emphasis on interaction between different plant species. Generally speaking, both agro-forestry and intercropping can result in higher overall yields and reduced operational costs. Over the past two decades, a number of studies have been carried out analysing the viability of agro-forestry. This book provides a focused understanding of contemporary forest management issues through real life examples to engage students. This book is essential reading for forest and other natural resource managers, policy makers, development economists and forestry professionals and researchers.
