    [Archive] Farming and forestry – proceedings of a conference held at Loughborough University 1986
    Lead Author: G.R. Hatfield (Ed.)
    The Farming and Forestry Conference at Loughborough University in September 1986 was held as a result of the dual realisation that something needed to be done, and soon, to cut back and bring under control the over-production of key agricultural products, and secondly that farm woodlands provided one of the few realistic alternatives.

Indeed, many naturally regenerated […]

Weeds compete with trees for moisture, nutrients and light; but they can also interfere by releasing toxins, modifying soil and air temperatures, and […]
