The Impact of Silvoarable Agroforestry with Poplar on Farm Profitability and Biological Diversity.
, 2023 Silvoarable 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 ...

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 ...

Carbon Budget of an Agroforestry System after Being Converted from a Poplar Short Rotation Coppice
Agronomy, 2020 Poplar (Populus L. spp.) Short Rotation Coppice systems (SRCs) for bioenergy production are being converted back to arable land. Transitioning to Alley Cropping Systems (ACSs) could be a suitable strategy for integrating former tree rows and arable crops.

Economic profitability of agroforestry in nitrate vulnerable zones in Catalonia (NE Spain)
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019 The impact of agricultural practices and the excess application of nitrogen can negatively impact the environment and cause human health problems. In Spain, the liquid manure applied in areas of intensive agriculture is creating groundwater nitrate ...

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.

Agroforestry practice in agricultural lands - silvoarable
, 2019 Conventional farming systems developed in arable farms can be associated to a reduced provision of ecosystem services and, at the end, to a reduced crop production due to soil fertility decrease. Food quality is compromised in conventional farming systems by the use of herbicides and pesticides that are causing increasing human health problems.
