Agroforestry in Sustainable Agricultural SystemsLouise E. Buck, James P. Lassoie, Erick C.M. Fernandes CRC Press, 28 déc. 1998 - 432 pages Agroforestry in Sustainable Agricultural Systems examines the environmental and social conditions that affect the roles and performance of trees in field- and forest-based agricultural production systems. Various types of ecological settings for agroforestry are analyzed within temperate and tropical regions. The roles of soil, water, light, nutrient and pest management in mixed, annual, woody perennial and livestock systems are discussed. Important new case studies from around the world offer innovative strategies that have been used successfully in raising forests and tree products on a sustainable basis for commercial harvesting and for providing other environmental services in land conservation and watershed management. |

Page 237 - Hunting grounds are the most interesting case of this shifting, nonagricultural land tenure. The ecological habits of different animals were so various that their hunting required a wide range of techniques, and rights to land use had to differ accordingly. What the Indians owned — or, more precisely, what their villages gave them claim to — was not the land but the things that were on the land during the various seasons of the year.
