Abstract Monocropping of perennial cash crops providing livelihood for smallholders is replacing native forest throughout the tropics, but there no direct empirical evidence on impact soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) relative to multistrata-agroforestry-based cropping. In particular, conversion forests cropping a rapidly expanding monocropping khat ( Catha edulis Forskal) not known. W...

Honey bees, especially Apis dorsata Fab. and A. florea F., are broadly found associated with forests. Whereas, cerana indica is both in wild domesticated state. Flowers of fores...

Jumlah penduduk yang terus meningkat di Indonesia mengakibatkan terjadinya alih fungsi hutan dan lahan pertanian menjadi pemukiman industri juga berpengaruh buruk terhadap jumlah ketersediaan cadangan pangan. Sehingga, perlu dilakukan pemanfaatan secara optimal dengan berkelanjutan yaitu sistem agroforestry. Adanya kombinasi tanaman kehutanan tidak langsung memberikan kebermanfaatan bagi produk...

Biodiversity conservation through land-use systems on private land is becoming a pressing environmental policy issue. Agroforestry, such as shade-coffee production, contributes to biodiversity conservation. However, falling coffee prices force many coffee growers to convert their sites into economically more attractive land uses. We performed an economic evaluation of coffee pollination by bees...

In cocoa (Theobroma cacao) agroforestry systems, upper canopy trees and food crops are frequently planted for shade, diversification of farm products, and improved soil fertility. As diversification remains a top priority for farm economic and environmental sustainability, system management plays a substantial role in farm diversity, requiring long-term analysis. We measured species richness dy...

Persea schiedeana, a close relative of avocado (Persea americana), is an important part of agroforestry systems and diets in parts of Mesoamerica, particularly in the coffee growing areas of southeastern Mexico and Guatemala, where it is known as chinene, coyo, and yas. Little research attention has been given to this species, other than as a rootstock for avocado. Research carried out in six v...

Agroforestry integrates woody perennials with arable crops, livestock, or fodder in the same piece of land, promoting more efficient utilization resources as compared to monocropping via structural and functional diversification components. This integration trees provides various soil-related ecological services such fertility enhancements improvements soil physical, biological, chemical proper...

Agroforestry as active area of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary research aims to bridge several artificial divides that have respectable historical roots but hinder progress toward sustainable development goals. These include: (1) The segregation “forestry trees” “agricultural crops”, ignoring the continuity in functional properties functions; farm-scale “Agroforestry-1” concept seeks reco...

The productivity of coffee plants on the most cultivated land in Garahan Village decreased. This decline is thought to be caused by, among others, climate change, degradation and presence pests diseases plants. training aims introduce coffee-based agroforestry farmers develop environmentally friendly biofertilizers. activity begins with a pre-test, socialization ends post-test.
