Agroforestry in sustainable agricultural systems

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "Examine of the environmental and social conditions that affect the roles and performance of trees in field- and forest-based agricultural production systems. Various types of ecological settings for agroforestry are analyzed within temperate and tropical regions. The roles of soil, water, light, nutrient and pest management in mixed, annual, woody perennial and livestock systems are discussed. Important new case studies from around the world offer innovative strategies that have been used successfully in raising forests and tree products on a sustainable basis for commercial harvesting, and for providing other environmental services in land conservation and watershed management. Examine all facets of agroforestry, from social and political factors to regional climate variations, soil conditions, and biological controls. Provides a better understanding of the ecological interraltionships among forests, soils, and root and water systems. Shows how agroforestry can be managed within the larger context of sustainable livestock and crop management. Offers unique new studies on the economics of agroforestry and interrelationships between and among the traditional forest industry, government policies, and formal and informal properties rights."
