CORN-TREE PROXIMITY EFFECTS IN AGROFORESTRY EXPERIMENTS

open access: yesRevista Caatinga, 2016
In agroforestry systems, annual plants closest to trees may behave differently from plants in rows that are more distant. This study evaluated the proximity effects of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia (sabiá) and Gliricidia sepium (gliricidia) on corn yield under

Planted tree fallows and their influence on soil fertility and maize production in East Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Soil fertility depletion is a main constraint to food production in sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis concerns the potential of N2-fixing trees to increase nitrogen inputs to agroforestry systems and accordingly to improve crop production.

Design of alley cropping systems: competitive interactions and crop yields

open access: yes, 2017
AbstractThis work corresponds to a bibliographic analysis of the research carried out on the design of agroforestry systems (AFS) in temperate zones. A bibliographic search with the help of ISI Web of Science, allowed to establish a very low number of studies related to this research topic.

Soil Infiltration Characteristics in Agroforestry Systems and Their Relationships with the Temporal Distribution of Rainfall on the Loess Plateau in China.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Many previous studies have shown that land use patterns are the main factors influencing soil infiltration. Thus, increasing soil infiltration and reducing runoff are crucial for soil and water conservation, especially in semi-arid environments.
