Shade tree trait diversity and functions in agroforestry systems: A review of which traits matter

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1159-1173, June 2024.
Based on the agroforestry literature and on trait‐environment relationships, we propose a matrix of shade tree traits that influence desirable agroecosystem outcomes for farmers, which can guide fine‐scale coordination of trait expression and agroforestry functions.
