Question

ECOHYDROLOGICAL effect of forest conservation of pasture.project ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Much of the current land in New England suitable for agriculture is currently under secondary forest cover. Many farmers in New England are clearing or thinning forested lands to expand existing agricultural fields in order reclaim land that was used for agriculture prior to the early 1900s and to meet the consumer demands for locally produced agricultural goods. Clear-cutting portions of the forest is one approach to expand existing agricultural lands. However, there is a growing interest in agroforestry practices such as silvopasture, which is the simultaneous management of livestock grazing and trees on the same land.
