Modelling environmental benefits of silvoarable agroforestry in Europe [PDF]
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2006 Increased adoption of silvoarable agroforestry (SAF) systems in Europe, by integratingtrees and arable crops on the same land, could offer a range of environmental benefits compared with conventional agricultural systems. Soil erosion, nitrogen leaching, carbon sequestration and landscape biodiversity were chosen as indicators to assess a stratified ...

Agroforestry potential for adaptation to climate change: A soil‐based perspective
Soil Use and Management, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 1006-1032, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Agricultural systems face several challenges that threaten their capacity to feed the world while maintaining a healthy and functional environment. Climate change, together with soil degradation, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity and invasive species, is a major threat to agricultural systems worldwide.

Biodiversity in temperate silvoarable systems: A systematic review
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2023 Silvoarable systems (SAS) are agroforestry systems (AFS) that combine the cultivation of trees and arable crops. Often, rows of trees delineate crop alleys in a field (alley-cropping system). SAS have the potential to provide many agricultural and environmental benefits, are innovative in their modern form, and are becoming more widespread.

Plant sizes and shapes above and belowground and their interactions with climate
New Phytologist, Volume 235, Issue 3, Page 1032-1056, August 2022., 2022 Summary Although the above and belowground sizes and shapes of plants strongly influence plant competition, community structure, and plant–environment interactions, plant sizes and shapes remain poorly characterized across climate regimes. We investigated relationships among shoot and root system size and climate.
