English term or phrase: woody cuttings
An agroforestry alternative involves the planting of large (1.5 - 2 m) woody cuttings that have the capacity to take root and continue growing, thereby producing live fence posts.
Planting of such cuttings more densely can result in hedges. Species that are commonly used for live fence posts and hedges include Gliricidia sepium, Erythrina spp., Spondias spp., Pithecellobium dulce. The widespread use of live fence posts and hedges could have a significant impact against deforestation, help reduce soil erosion from cropped fields, and help retain nutrients that would normally have been lost in rainfall runoff.
