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.

Policy challenges for agroforestry implementation in Europe
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Agroforestry (AF) is a sustainable land use practice and system that increases the ecosystem services delivery from agricultural lands compared with treeless systems.

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.

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
