Abundance, Diversity, and Function of Soil Microorganisms in Temperate Alley-Cropping Agroforestry Systems: A Review [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Modern temperate alley-cropping systems combine rows of trees with rows of crops (agroforestry), which allows for diverse interspecific interactions such as the complementary and competitive use of resources.

Soil organic matter status and penetration resistance at alley cropping system on degraded acid dryland [PDF]
Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2016 Soil has important functions, one of which acts as a growing medium for plants so the soil environment should be able to support the growth and development of the plants in taking water and nutrient needs.

Introduction of Alley Cropping
Forum Geografi, 2004 One of the efforts to preserve the sources of vegetarian, soil, and water is to rehabilitate the land and soil conservation. The aim of this rehabilitation is increasing and maintaining the produtivity of the land, so it can be preserved and used ...

Soil Organic Carbon in Alley Cropping Systems: A Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Sustainability, 2022 Population growth and an increasing demand for food cause the intensification of agriculture leading to soil degradation and a decrease in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. Agroforestry systems such as alley cropping are gaining more and more attention as a practice to maintain and/or increase SOC in agroecosystems.
