Modelling livestock carrying capacity in montados

Why use trees on grazed areas?

First impressions are often that the presence of trees in pasture systems will lead to a reduction in pasture production due to the light and water competition. However, other effects on the system dynamics and water availability may be beneficial to nutrient cycling, yield, and pasture productivity.
