Experimental trials on the recovery of hilly marginal land were conducted in the NW Italy to study the interaction between coppice and pasture management. The favorable effects of the coppice used for grazing cattle were primarily physical, resulting in better herbage utilization and control for shrubs development. The more intensely grazed areas showed a lower content of organic matter and carbonate, and bulk density and penetration resistance increased.

Abstract
Experimental trials on the recovery of hilly marginal land were conducted in the NW Italy to study the interaction between coppice and pasture management. The favorable effects of the coppice used for grazing cattle were primarily physical, resulting in better herbage utilization and control for shrubs development. The more intensely grazed areas showed a lower content of organic matter and carbonate, and bulk density and penetration resistance increased.File in questo prodotto:
