Abstract
This paper expands on a short voluntary presentation, by the first two authors, to the 18th IUFRO World Congress held at Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, in September 1986. It describes management procedures and incorporates biological and economic data, from a number of agro-silvo-pastoral trials in the South West of Western Australia.
The integration of pine timber and livestock production is shown to have a range of economic and environmental benefits available in the long-term. Ways in which the choice of tree density, planting pattern and silvicultural regime can each be directed towards the achievement of various objectives are indicated.
