Multifunctionality of temperate alley-cropping agroforestry outperforms open cropland and grassland
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Alley-cropping agroforestry enhances carbon sequestration compared to open cropland and open grassland, and improves soil biological habitat and erosion resistance relative to open cropland, based on measured ecosystem functions at five sites in Germany.

Spatial distribution of tree and grassland fine roots in an alley cropping system
Frontiers in Agronomy, 2023 Alley cropping systems are known as more sustainable land use alternatives compared to monoculture cropland. In addition to the improvement of above-ground structures and creation of biotopes relevant to nature conservation, the improvement of resource ...

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.

Climate-Resilient Agriculture Practices for Enhancing Resilient Practices and Food Systems in Dry Regions. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Dry regions are primarily inhabited by smallholder farmers who have limited capacity to enhance agricultural productivity, particularly in crop production. These areas are characterized by low and erratic rainfall that does not support crops to maturity.
