Forest and pasture management

Given the ETSI de Montes description of its own scope as "el dominio de los espacios naturales, la selvicultura, la pascicultura, los suelos forestales y la biotecnología y ecología forestales".
Peer comment(s):

agree Rachel Fell : sounds more like how it would be expressed in English... http://www.odi.org.uk/ccef/resources/greyliterature/joint fo... (rather an untidy ref., but still)

silvopasture science/management

I'd use something like "science" or "management" to round out silvopasture.

I don't think it's simply forestry (silvocultura) + pasture science (pascicultura), but rather a particular type of land usage that combines forests and grazing lands:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvopasture
Silvopasture is the practice of combining forestry and grazing of domesticated animals in a mutually beneficial way. Advantages of a properly managed silvopasture operation are enhanced soil protection and increased long-term income due to the simultaneous production of trees and grazing animals.

neutral Joss Heywood : The department itself describes its scope as "el dominio de los espacios naturales, la selvicultura, la pascicultura, los suelos forestales y la biotecnología y ecología forestales" which is rather wider than silvopasture

Note from asker:
Hi Taña- thanks for refs. I saw these but as they´re not original English sites I don´t really trust them, and this term doesn´t seem to be used on 'English' sites. Have a lovely weekend! :-)
