Predicting ecosystem responses by data‐driven reciprocal modelling
Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 21, Page 5670-5679, November 2021., 2021 Treatment effects are traditionally quantified in controlled experiments. However, experimental control is often achieved at the expense of representativeness. Here, we present a data‐driven reciprocal modelling method to quantify the individual effects of environmental treatments under field conditions. In a case study, we apply the method to estimate

Ecological Applications, Volume 31, Issue 4, June 2021., 2021 Abstract Diversified farming systems, for example those that incorporate agroforestry elements, have been proposed as a solution that could maintain and improve multiple ecosystem services. However, habitat diversification in and around arable fields has complex and inconsistent effects on invertebrate crop pests and their natural enemies. This hinders

EVALUATION OF SOIL QUALITY PARAMETERS IN SILVOARABLE SYSTEMS
AGROFOR, 2020 Agroforestry is considered a sustainable cultivating methodology in comparison to intensified and one-dimension agriculture, resulting in higher yields, socioeconomic benefits and environmental protection as well. The silvoarable systems constitute classification of the agroforestry systems that involve crops and trees in the same spatiotemporal scales.

Reduced grazing and changes in the area of agroforestry in Europe
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Agroforestry integrates woody vegetation with crop and/or livestock production to benefit from the ecological and economic interactions. The objective of this paper is to systematically determine the spatial distribution of agroforestry in the EU, and ...

Agronomy, 2019 Agroforestry is indicated as a farming practice suited to enhance ecosystem services generated by cropping systems. However, farmers are often reluctant to implement agroforestry systems due to the potential yield loss of crops. In a field trial, soybean

Farmer perception of benefits, constraints and opportunities for silvoarable systems [PDF]
Outlook on Agriculture, 2017 Silvoarable agroforestry integrates the use of trees and arable crops on the same area of land, and such systems can be supported by national governments under the European Union’s (EU) Rural Development Regulations (2014–2020). In order to improve the understanding of farmers’ perceptions of such systems, detailed face-to-face interviews were ...

Los sistemas silvoarables modernos en España
Cuadernos de la Sociedad Española de Ciencias Forestales, 2018 La presencia de vegetación leñosa en el interior y en los márgenes de terrenos agrícolas era relativamente común en España hasta el desarrollo de la mecanización de las tareas agrícolas a partir de mediados del siglo XX. El proceso de simplificación de los ecosistemas en entornos agrícolas y la separación efectiva de zonas forestales y zonas agrícolas ...

High organic inputs explain shallow and deep SOC storage in a long-term agroforestry system – combining experimental and modeling approaches [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Agroforestry is an increasingly popular farming system enabling agricultural diversification and providing several ecosystem services. In agroforestry systems, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks are generally increased, but it is difficult to ...

Soil organic carbon and root distribution in a temperate arable agroforestry system [PDF]
, 2013 Aim To determine, for arable land in a temperate area, the effect of tree establishment and intercropping treatments, on the distribution of roots and soil organic carbon to a depth of 1.5 m.
