Towards a Sustainable Systems Framework: The Assessment of Silvoarable Agroforestry as an Innovative Cropping Practice

open access: yes, 1993
Questions are continually being asked about the direction in which land based production in the UK is evolving. Present systems are criticised as being damaging to the wider environment and rural communities. Of equal concern is the reliance upon non-renewable resources within agricultural systems and the effect "modern farming" is having on ...

Spatiotemporal integration of resources sharing in a walnut-cereals silvoarable agroforestry system: a key to understanding productivity?

open access: yes, 2011
Measurements on experimental silvoarable agroforestry plots (mixed tree-crop) showed exceptionally high productivity, with yields more than 30% higher compared to the separate crop and tree systems. We developed a 3-D process-based model (Hi-sAFe) and used it to (1) test if the spatiotemporal integration of resources sharing (light, water, nitrogen ...

Silvoarable Systems in Europe – Past, Present and Future Prospects

Agroforestry Systems, 2006
Mixed systems of agriculture incorporating combinations of trees and crops have formed key elements of the landscape of Europe throughout historical times, and many such systems continue to function in the present day. In many cases they represent formerly widespread traditional systems in decline and a number have already become extinct or exist only ...

Diversity of Airborne Arthropods in a Silvoarable Agroforestry System

The Journal of Applied Ecology, 1993
The diversity and abundance of airborne arthropods in a silvoarable agroforestry system with associated forestry and arable control areas in northern England was investigated with yellow water-pan traps. The agroforestry system consisted of alleys of arable crop (peas) separated by production hedges of 3-year-old furniture-timber trees (ash, cherry ...
