Bocage agroforestry in Normandy

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: With approximately 171,000 km of hedgerows, Normandy is the third most bocage-rich region in France. The average density of Norman hedgerows (estimated at 57 m ha-1) is well above the national average (28 m ha-1). The region is characterized by a heterogeneous distribution of hedgerow lengths across departments, a landscape legacy reflecting the evolution of agricultural practices.
