Silvopastoral systems in Mediterranean olive groves offer a promising strategy to enhance environmental and economic sustainability. Among livestock species suitable for silvopastoral systems, poultry husbandry is gaining interest among olive growers due to its adaptability and potential to complement olive cultivation. Rotational grazing offers a sustainable alternative to continuous grazing by moving animals between pastures...

This article explores the representation of silvopastoral systems in European art from the 16th to the nineteenth century, with a specific focus on ruminant livestock grazing in wooded environments. Drawing from a wide interdisciplinary body of literature in agroforestry, environmental history and art history, this study adopts a scoping review approach combined with visual analysis of selected artworks. While not a systematic...

Mediterranean agroecosystems, especially silvopastoral systems, face increasing pressures from climate change and land use intensification. Monitoring soil biodiversity in these systems is essential for understanding their ecological status and resilience. This study evaluates the combined role of soil-dwelling fungi and microarthropods as bioindicators of ecosystem condition under two land-use types (grassland and silvopastur...
