Combinatorial Maps, a New Framework to Model Agroforestry Systems [PDF]
Plant Phenomics, 2023 Agroforestry systems are complex due to the diverse interactions between their elements, and they develop over several decades. Existing numerical models focus either on the structure or on the functions of agroforestry systems.

Microclimatic and Anthropogenic Drivers of Insect Biodiversity in Rubber-Based Agroforestry Systems [PDF]
InsectsRubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations constitute the largest artificial ecological forest systems in tropical regions of China, while long-term monoculture has significantly reduced biodiversity, particularly among insect communities.

Research on agroforestry systems and biodiversity conservation: what can we conclude so far and what should we improve? [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Through a meta-analysis, Mupepele et al. (BMC Ecol Evol 21:1–193, 2021) assessed the effects of European agroforestry systems on biodiversity, estimated by species richness or species diversity.

A sustainable integrated agroforestry system.
, 2023 For over 25 years, we have developed and refined an integrated agroforestry system, demonstrating its potential to restore degraded lands, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. While industrialized agriculture has met global food demands through increased yields and efficiency, it has also driven deforestation, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and ...

Temperate Agroforestry Systems [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 1998 Agroforestry is a land use system that allows for the concurrent production of trees and agricultural crops from the same piece of land. It has a history of development and has been practised in some parts of the world for more than 6000 years. Much research into agroforestry has been carried out in the tropics and within the context of developing ...

European agroforestry has no unequivocal effect on biodiversity: a time-cumulative meta-analysis
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background Agroforestry is a production system combining trees with crops or livestock. It has the potential to increase biodiversity in relation to single-use systems, such as pastures or cropland, by providing a higher habitat heterogeneity.
