Detailed explanation-1: -Silvopastoral systems are those that combine tree growing with the production of livestock. These systems typically include pasture systems containing trees that are widely spaced or planted in clusters throughout the pasture. This system can be found widely around the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -Choices depend on the livestock component and must be tolerant of grazing and productive under shade. Currently, silvopasture systems primarily involve cattle, goats, or sheep. Other potential livestock choices include: horses, turkeys, chickens, ostriches, emu, or game animals such as bison, deer, elk, and caribou.

Detailed explanation-3: -Silvopasture (silva is forest in Latin) is the practice of integrating trees, forage, and the grazing of domesticated animals in a mutually beneficial way. It utilizes the principles of managed grazing, and it is one of several distinct forms of agroforestry.

Detailed explanation-4: -Warm-season forages like bahiagrass, bermudagrass, dallisgrass, johnsongrass, switchgrass, perennial peanut, and sericea lespedeza grow during warm season, and die or remain dormant in cool season. if selected and managed properly, different types of forages can be grown successfully in a silvopasture system.
