Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 12, Page 3079-3091, December 2024.Overall, our findings highlight that the inclusion of tree rows benefited spiders across the entirety of the 48 m crop rows, independent of crop type. Since the peak in spider abundance and taxonomic diversity in crop rows coincided with crop pest arrival, alley‐cropping agroforestry is expected to benefit agricultural production through increased pest

Agroforestry systems favor bat conservation but only when old and grazed
Global Ecology and ConservationAs a consequence of agricultural intensification and landscape homogenization, semi-natural elements such as hedges, woodland patches and scattered trees have been removed from many agricultural areas. The resulting habitat loss has led to the decline in

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2024.This meta‐analysis of 78 studies reveals that agroforestry systems (silvopastoral and silvoarable) have an overall positive effect on carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and biodiversity conservation. While the impacts of agroforestry on crop production vary depending on the crop type, our findings suggest that agroforestry systems ...
