Relative crop yields of european silvoarable agroforestry systems [PDF]
, 2016 Global trends, such as population growth and increased demand for food and energy require rational and efficient land use with ecosystem services provisioning beyond yield. Silvoarable agroforestry (SAF) is a land use system in which crops for food and trees for bioenergy purposes are grown on the same land.

Agroforestry and biodiversity in temperate silvoarable systems
2022Silvoarable systems (SAS) are agroforestry systems where trees are closely linked to arable cropping, often in alleys (alley cropping systems). They have the potential to provide many agricultural and environmental benefits, are innovative and expanding.

Farmer Perceptions of Silvoarable Systems in Seven European Countries
2008Between 2003 and 2004, 264 face-to-face interviews were undertaken to determine farmers' perceptions of silvoarable agroforestry across 14 sample areas in seven European countries. Across the 14 sample areas, 40% of respondents had heard the term “agroforestry” and 33% then defined it as an association of trees with crops or livestock.

Distribution of small mammals in a silvoarable agroforestry system in Northern England
Agroforestry Systems, 2005The importance of agroforestry systems in temperate regions in providing habitat for small mammals has not been investigated. Numbers and densities of small mammals were assessed by live trapping in a complex farming landscape including mature hedgerows, arable fields, areas of trees planted at forestry density (2,500 trees ha–1) and trees in an ...

Agroforestry Systems, 1994
A silvoarable experimental site in Buckinghamshire, England combined rows of poplar trees with an arable rotation. Soil properties were investigated using soil carbon and the bodysize of invertebrates. Four years after establishment, the soil within and 1 m from the tree rows has significantly higher soil organic matter and invertebrate populations ...

AbstractAgroforestry systems provide a number of ecosystem services and are frequently considered as a promising diversification strategy for more sustainable and climate resilient primary production. Still, less than 1% of the agricultural land in the European Union is silvoarable agroforestry. Most agroforestry field trials compare one crop type with

Winter cereal production in a Mediterranean silvoarable walnut system in the face of climate change
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2018Abstract One of the foreseeable consequences of climate change is a reduction in crop yields. In recent years, agroforestry systems have been identified as a strategy for climate change mitigation and adaptation. In this study we assess the potential of a silvoarable system to protect crops against extreme climate events.

This chapter discusses biophysical processes that explain the ability of silvoarable agroforestry systems to maintain agricultural yields while providing a range of ecosystem services. Silvoarable systems are very flexible, and many management practices can be used within them by farmers to sustain crop yields for as long as possible. These include the

Types of silvoarable system: multifunctional windbreaks and riparian buffers
In this chapter, the authors summarize historic and current research on multifunctional biomass production, and provide insights in current research trends and future possibilities. The chapter is oriented around a case study in which widespread deployment of riparian buffers and windbreaks is modelled across Europe, in over 81,000 landscapes.Oskar Englund, Pål Börjesson

From silvopastoral to silvoarable systems in Europe: sharing concepts, unifying policies.
2005Silvopastoral and silvoarable systems are often considered separately, with distinct management schemes, research approaches, and policy-making perspectives. However, both are multi-species agroecosystems with a tree component. While the motto in agriculture and forestry has been for decades to reduce complexity for simplifying management and ...
