Kinds and amounts of forage plants are determined on a forested range. What relationships exist between forage quality and the quantity and density of trees? South Florida has thousands of grazed acres on which slash pines also are being grown for timber production. As the timber stand matures, what happens to the range vegetation and its nutritive value? How much forage and beef can be produced on ranges with different densities and volumes of trees? At what age and density of trees does grazing cease to pay on forested lands?
