Lessons Learnt: Silvoarable agroforestry in the UK (Part 1)
, 2017 As a summary of three years of research carried out in the EU FP7 project Agforward, Jo Smith and colleagues at the Organic Research Centre in the UK have produced a "Lessons Learnt" report. Although willow has been widely promoted in the UK, their research shows that under the relatively dry conditions in Suffolk, the biomass and bio-energy yields of ...

Soil Moisture and Temperature Characteristics in a Young Silvoarable Agroforestry System
Regional and Business Studies, 2019 The aim of the present research is to investigate the effect of a young alley cropping system (planted for experimental purposes) on the soil microclimate, compared with a control site. The trial system, involving the agroforestry plantation and a control site, has been implemented in 2013 in an intensive monoculture agricultural environment ...

Lessons Learnt: Silvoarable agroforestry in the UK (Part 2)
, 2017 As a deliverable of the EU FP7 AGFORWARD project Jo Smith and colleagues at the Organic Research Centre in the UK summarised research carried out at a UK silvoarable farm in this "Lessons Learnt" report. The report focuses on a silvoarable system at Tolhurst Organics in Berkshire, where rows of eight tree species (with an inter-row width of 20 m) were ...

Agroforestry Policy Review [PDF]
, 2010 A lack of policy support is seen as one of the main barriers to wider adoption of agroforestry, with the integration of trees at a low density into agricultural land challenging the conventional specialisation of forestry and agricultural policy ...

Carbon sequestration of modern Quercus suber L. silvoarable agroforestry systems in Portugal: a YieldSAFE-based estimation [PDF]
Agroforestry Systems, 2014 Modern alley cropping designs, with trees aligned in rows and adapted to operating farming machinery, have been suggested for Europe. This paper explores the potential for adoption of cork oak (Quercus suber L.) agroforestry in Portugal and estimates the potential carbon sequestration.
