Abstract Management and design affect systems’ ability to deliver ecosystem services meet sustainable intensification needs for a growing population. Soil–plant–animal health evaluations at the systems level conventional silvopastoral environments are lacking challenge adoption across temperate regions. Impacts of silvopasture on soil quality, microclimate, cattle heat stress, forage quality yield, weight gain were compared pasture in mid-southern US. Here, we illustrate silvopastures have greater organic carbon, water content, overall with lower temperatures (soil cattle) than pastures. Forage production gains similar systems; yet, would need approximately four times more land area yield equivalent net productivity (tree, nuts, forage, animal weight) one ha silvopasture. Temperate enhanced delivery by improving promoting welfare without losses, thus allowing under changing climate.

The global human population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing the demand for food and fiber, but also raising concerns about environmental impact of agricultural production scaled meet their needs. Silvopastures—integrated tree–forage–livestock systems—have emerged as a viable practice required productivity stewardship outcomes. This review consolidates extensive research on silvopasture practices in United States highlights benefits these systems. A comprehensive literature search across databases such ScienceDirect Google Scholar revealed 152 publications silvopastures since 2000, indicating growing interest. These studies have primarily focused impacts livestock welfare productivity, forage composition, soil health nutrient dynamics, socio-economic factors. Geographical distribution analysis indicated that more Southeastern States, with Florida, Virginia, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas being top five contributing states. offers insights into tree species used states discusses challenges adoption among producers land managers while exploring future prospects. may be resource understanding multifaceted dimensions adoption, providing researchers, policymakers, practitioners alike.

Silvopasture is increasingly recognized as a nature-based solution to climate change. However, few studies have quantified the total carbon storage potential of silvopasture in humid continental climates, complicating efforts understand mitigation potential. In this study, we compared stocks silvopastures established by afforestation trees into pastures (silvopasture) with pasture that remained without (treeless pasture) on five farms Northeastern United States. Total content was measured woody, herbaceous, and soil pools for treeless pastures. Results indicate stored 43% more (136.42 Mg C ha− 1) than (95.47 1), tree being driving factor. No significant difference were found between systems across all study farms. forages generally lower (7.24 when (7.84 1). These findings quantify additionality practice are planted pasture.
