However, substantial production of marketable goods by the woody component does not occur in the first years after tree establishment. Hence, estimation of the impact on crop yield and quality during this initial lag phase is key to assess the economical viability of foreseen agroforestry implementations. At present, estimates of impact on crop yield are mostly based on modelling while a lack of experimental data remains. Therefore, in this study, yield and quality of five main arable crops (maize, potato, winter cereals) were studied during seven consecutive years in an elaborate field experiment on a set of six alley cropping fields throughout the first decade after tree establishment. For each crop, mixed models were used to express yield and quality variables as function of “H”, the ratio of distance to the trees and tree height. Decreasing yields were observed with decreasing values of H. Effects of tree presence on crop quality remain limited and/or of minor economical relevance during the first decade after tree establishment. Our findings can aid to estimate tipping points with regard to tree height and distance where beneficial or negative impacts of tree presence predominate over one another. In addition, they contribute to estimating the impact on crop yield for farmers during the first decade after tree establishment and the adequate levels of potential remuneration through financial incentives (e.g. subsidies by the government).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7610,"journal":{"name":"Agroforestry Systems","volume":"99 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145144712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a multistage sampling technique, data were collected from 501 respondents across the state’s agroecological zones and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. Ten NTFPs, notably <i>Irvingia gabonensis</i> and <i>Pentaclethra macrophylla</i>, were found to be the most prioritized due to their culinary, medicinal, and commercial value. Income analysis showed that traders earned 34.2% more than collectors, and processors earned 27.6% more than other groups, largely due to value addition and superior market access.

Their high tree and shrub diversity results in a complex interplay of trade-offs between the ecosystem services (ESs) and the potential ecosystem disservices (EDs) provided by trees and shrubs. Here we focused on HGAFS in the lowlands of the Southern Ethiopian Rift valley, and drawing on data from vegetation surveys of 191 homegardens, key informant and household interviews, focus group discussions, and species rankings, we aimed to (i) quantify geographical variation in tree and shrub species composition and diversity across HGAFS, (ii) identify the drivers behind this variation, and (iii) reveal traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) regarding the ESs and EDs provided by the tree and shrub species present. We recorded a total of 43 woody species from 37 genera and 27 families, with Moringa stenopetala (95%) and Mangifera indica (83%) the most frequent. We found that species composition and species richness significantly varied across villages and was also affected by the frequency of farmer’s contacts with development agents, whereas we found no impact of farmland ownership, farmer’s experience or training in agroforestry practices. Farmer’s ranking of the species according to nine categories of ESs and four categories of EDs showed that many of the most dominant species simultaneously provided both important ESs and EDs but that the former outweighed the latter. Despite HGAFS being a long-standing indigenous practice, there is an increasing reliance on development agents-based agricultural extension, which may inadvertently reduce the integration and transmission of TEK. Integrating Homegarden agroforestry systems into national conservation and agricultural policies, strengthening capacity-building for farmers and development agents, and reinforcing TEK transfer can enhance their sustainability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7610,"journal":{"name":"Agroforestry Systems","volume":"99 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145143250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Ekiti State, Nigeria, cocoa agriculture is economically important but also a key driver of deforestation—over half of the region’s forest cover has been lost in recent decades. Shaded agroforestry systems offer potential to align conservation and agricultural goals while diversifying farmer income. However, decision-making around shade retention, and the trade-offs between cocoa yield and shade-derived benefits, remains poorly understood, particularly in under-researched contexts like Nigeria. Framed through a social-ecological systems lens, this study investigates the values that underpin cocoa farmers' decisions around shade tree retention in Ekiti State by analysing tree species composition, density, and basal area alongside farmer perspectives using content and thematic analysis, across fifteen farms in Ekiti State. Shade trees were common on farms, and provided notable, though varying, contributions to farmers’ incomes. Most farmers valued trees for their climate regulation (86%) and financial security (73%) benefits. Shade tree density and diversity (160–960 trees/ha; 3–15 species/farm), as well as perspectives and practices, varied widely. Most farmers regularly cut trees, while others (7%) felt they were too valuable to remove. Some actively planted trees (47%); others relied on natural regeneration. Understanding the diverse values and practices presented in this study is crucial for the effective development and adoption of sustainable agroforestry interventions on cocoa farms in Ekiti and Nigeria. These findings have broader relevance for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers aiming to promote socially and ecologically resilient cocoa landscapes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7610,"journal":{"name":"Agroforestry Systems","volume":"99 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10457-025-01255-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145143011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates how shallow soils in simple and complex coffee-based agroforestry systems influence farmers’ plant selection compared to deep solum area, particularly regarding their tree diversity, soil carbon stocks, and earthworm abundance. Our findings revealed that in shallow soils, farmers prioritize species with shallow root distribution, while in deep solum, farmers tended to select a greater variety of medium to high wood-density perennial trees. A positive relationship between carbon stocks and tree diversity was more pronounced in deep solum and mature plants only. No significant effect of land-use patterns was observed on earthworm biomass and population density across shallow and deep solum. However, the presence of invasive epigeic species (<i>Amynthas</i> spp.) was noted in shallow solum but absent in deep soils. Earthworm activity in shallow solum was significantly influenced by aboveground vegetation, including litter, canopy cover, and tree diversity. To effectively manage shallow solum in coffee-agroforestry systems, maintaining organic matter inputs through diversified tree planting may ensure a continuous supply of organic matter and create a favorable environment for earthworms, thereby supporting sustainable coffee agroforestry and enhancing long-term productivity, biological activity, and soil quality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7610,"journal":{"name":"Agroforestry Systems","volume":"99 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145142895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aims were to identify innovative and sustainable grazing practices to preserve the equilibrium and efficiency of the agroforestry system; and evaluate the effects of different grazing intensities on soil properties, vegetation, and forest structure. Fieldwork was conducted in April- July 2021at the organic agro-silvo-pastoral farm Tenuta di Paganico (Grosseto, Tuscany, central Italy) encompassing four areas with differing grazing intensities, from ungrazed to three levels of stocking density (from 0.36 to 0.71 LSU ha-1 yr-1) and cattle trampling (from 68 to 83 m cattle trampling). Results show that high grazing intensity did not affect organic carbon and nitrogen contents and water permeability, but it caused higher bulk density as compared to medium intensity grazing and similarly to the ungrazed area which is under regular forest management including the passage of mechanical vehicles. Nevertheless, high intensity grazing negatively impacted on soil health and forest structure. Conversely, low stocking density and rotational grazing supported soil biological quality, vegetation diversity and natural regeneration capacity. Grazing intensity did not affect the stands upperstorey, but it affected the understorey and regeneration layers’ composition and development. This study underscores how adaptive grazing management can balance productivity and ecological integrity in Mediterranean agroforestry systems, offering insights for integrating livestock management with sustainable forestry practices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7610,"journal":{"name":"Agroforestry Systems","volume":"99 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145142858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
