Assessing food sustainable intensification potential of agroforestry using a carbon balance method
(SISEF, 2019)
Food security, climate change mitigation, and land use challenges are interlinked and need to be considered simultaneously. One possible solution is sustainable intensification, which is the practice of increasing food ...
Landscape-scale modelling of agroforestry ecosystems services in Swiss orchards: a methodological approach
(Springer, 2018)
Context: Agroforestry systems in temperate Europe are known to provide both, provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ES). Yet, it is poorly understood how these systems affect ES provision at a landscape scale in ...
Integrating belowground carbon dynamics into Yield-SAFE, a parameter sparse agroforestry model
(Springer, 2018)
Agroforestry combines perennial woody elements (e.g. trees) with an agricultural understory (e.g. wheat, pasture) which can also potentially be used by a livestock component. In recent decades, modern agroforestry systems ...
Quantifying regulating ecosystem services with increased tree densities on European Farmland
(Sustainability (switzerland), 2020)
Agroforestry systems have been compared to agricultural and forestry alternatives, providing a land-use solution for additional environmental benefits while maintaining similar levels of productivity. However, there is ...
Dry deposition of air pollutants on trees at regional scale: A case study in the Basque Country
(Elsevier, 2020)
There is increased interest in the role of trees to reduce air pollution and thereby improve human health and well-being. This study determined the removal of air pollutants by dry deposition of trees across the Basque ...
Whole system valuation of arable, agroforestry and tree-only systems at three case study sites in Europe
(Elsevier, 2020)
There is an increasing demand to study the long-term effects of land use from both local farm and wider societal and environmental perspectives. This study applied an approach to evaluate both the financial profitability ...
