Ecosystem services trajectories in coffee agroforestry in Colombia over 40 years

Agroforestry interventions may act as catalysts for ecosystem service development and changes in supply therefore rehabilitate degraded land. This study investigates the trajectories of services coffee systems with a different time since transition to agroforestry Colombia, interactions among services, biotic abiotic factors that explain them. Therefore, we chronosequence farms, 1–40 years planting shade trees. We found aboveground carbon stock, habitat provisioning, timber volume bean quality followed positive asymptotic trajectories. Erosion control pest did not change over time. Coffee yield tended decrease trees matured, but this was significant. consistent relationships between erosion epiphyte richness. A trade-off stock first 10 years, while relation long term (10–20 years). Canopy cover best explained supply, also farm agrochemical input management, altitude slope influenced supply. demonstrated can be used
