Sylvopasture at Nicharee Farm
The close integration of trees and pasture brings many benefits. Among them are:
-shelter of animals and plants in adjacent plots
-Tree leaves of various species are rich in minerals and are healthy for animals to browse
-Fallen tree leaves in Autumn provide an organic mulch and nutrients to adjacent pasture plots
-Tree roots grow under adjacent pasture plots loosening soil and improving oxidation and percolation and stimulating soil biology and beneficial fungi called Rhizobium
-creating two different habitats side by side enhances biodiversity
