Trees in Alley Cropping: Competitors or Soil Improvers?

Outlook on Agriculture, 1994
Agroforestry has a high potential to sustain agricultural production in the humid tropics. One specific type of agroforestry, alley cropping, has received much attention as a means of producing staple food crops within an agroforestry system. There is now substantial evidence that alley cropping maintains soil fertility above levels found in pure ...

Yield and climate change adaptation using alley cropping

2017
Climate change scenarios predict fewer but more intense rain events. Dry spring and summer weather reduces crop yields. Water loss from the crop is controlled by solar radiation, air temperature, wind speed and humidity. Alley cropping systems can modify the crop microclimate by reducing wind speeds and temperature extremes.
