Relative crop yields of european silvoarable agroforestry systems [PDF]
, 2016 Global trends, such as population growth and increased demand for food and energy require rational and efficient land use with ecosystem services provisioning beyond yield. Silvoarable agroforestry (SAF) is a land use system in which crops for food and trees for bioenergy purposes are grown on the same land.

Agroforestry and biodiversity in temperate silvoarable systems
2022Silvoarable systems (SAS) are agroforestry systems where trees are closely linked to arable cropping, often in alleys (alley cropping systems). They have the potential to provide many agricultural and environmental benefits, are innovative and expanding.

Farmer Perceptions of Silvoarable Systems in Seven European Countries
2008Between 2003 and 2004, 264 face-to-face interviews were undertaken to determine farmers' perceptions of silvoarable agroforestry across 14 sample areas in seven European countries. Across the 14 sample areas, 40% of respondents had heard the term “agroforestry” and 33% then defined it as an association of trees with crops or livestock.

The Impact of Silvoarable Agroforestry with Poplar on Farm Profitability and Biological Diversity.
2023Silvoarable agroforestry (the intercropping of trees and arable crops) can diversify farm incomes, increasing tree planting and improve farm biodiversity. In 1992 a silvoarable experiment, comprising three replicate blocks of four poplar (Populus spp.) hybrids (at a spacing of 10 m x 6.4 m) and three arable treatments, was established by Cranfield ...

Distribution of small mammals in a silvoarable agroforestry system in Northern England
Agroforestry Systems, 2005The importance of agroforestry systems in temperate regions in providing habitat for small mammals has not been investigated. Numbers and densities of small mammals were assessed by live trapping in a complex farming landscape including mature hedgerows, arable fields, areas of trees planted at forestry density (2,500 trees ha–1) and trees in an ...

Types of silvoarable system: multifunctional windbreaks and riparian buffers
In this chapter, the authors summarize historic and current research on multifunctional biomass production, and provide insights in current research trends and future possibilities. The chapter is oriented around a case study in which widespread deployment of riparian buffers and windbreaks is modelled across Europe, in over 81,000 landscapes.Oskar Englund, Pål Börjesson

A comparison of computer-based models of silvoarable economics
2004Des modèles informatisés cherchent à simuler différents aspects économiques du comportement de systèmes agroforestiers qui mêlent sur une même parcelle arbres et cultures annuelles. La littérature décrivant de tels logiciels est rare, lorsqu'elle est comparée par exemple à la littérature sur les modèles biophysiques, et cela crée quelques difficultés ...

This chapter discusses biophysical processes that explain the ability of silvoarable agroforestry systems to maintain agricultural yields while providing a range of ecosystem services. Silvoarable systems are very flexible, and many management practices can be used within them by farmers to sustain crop yields for as long as possible. These include the

From silvopastoral to silvoarable systems in Europe: sharing concepts, unifying policies.
2005Silvopastoral and silvoarable systems are often considered separately, with distinct management schemes, research approaches, and policy-making perspectives. However, both are multi-species agroecosystems with a tree component. While the motto in agriculture and forestry has been for decades to reduce complexity for simplifying management and ...

Will French farmers adopt silvoarable agroforestry technology in the near future?
2004Farmers did not consider silvoarable agroforestry technology until 2001 in France due to regulations that excluded would-be agroforesters from the compensatory payment scheme for annual crops. This policy had a strong negative impact on traditional silvoarable systems in France during the 90s: farmers uprooted trees in fields to enlarge cropped areas ...
