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 ...

Modern silvoarable systems in Spain - Los sistemas silvoarables modernos en España
, 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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
