When trees are added to an existing pasture and the resulting area is managed for timber, forage and livestock, it is the agroforestry practice of silvopasture. The components are deliberately integrated and managed by design to enhance the biophysical interactions among components. Both the timber and forage components are designed to minimize competition and maximize complementarity. Neither opportunistic forest grazing nor grazing cattle without management within a plantation are agroforestry; both can be destructive to the forest, tree, and forage resources.
