Climate smart use
In Italy, white mulberry trees planted in association with grasses or legumes and grazed by both cattle and sheep were found to be suited for optimal availability of fodder during hot and dry summers (Talamucci et al., 2000).
Soil erosion and soil improver and reclamation
White mulberry trees are reported to be useful for stabilizing physical soil-conservation structures while leaf-fall provides organic matter to the soil and reduce soil temperature in hot areas. White mulberry could be used to remove lead from lead-contaminated soil (Zhou et al., 2015; Orwa et al., 2009).
Shade or shelter
Mulberry trees can be planted for sheltering orchards from wind (Orwa et al., 2009).
Weed
In South Eastern Queensland (Australia), white mulberry is ranked among the top 200 most invasive plants of watercourses (riparian areas), native bushland, forest margins and roadsides (Queensland Government, 2011).
