The primary objectives of this operational scale research project are to determine the long-term effects of three domestic forage seeding rates and three grazing intensities on conifer survival and growth, and to develop management prescriptions for seeding rates and cattle use on forest plantations. The secondary objectives are to examine the effects of seeding rates on forage production and suppression of native vegetation, and to determine the effects of grazing intensity and forage production on cattle weight gains.
