Agroforestry, relative to conventional agriculture, contributes significantly carbon sequestration, increases a range of regulating ecosystem services, and enhances biodiversity. Using transdisciplinary approach, we combined scientific technical knowledge evaluate nine environmental pressures in terms services European farmland assessed the storage potential suitable agroforestry systems, proposed by regional experts. First, regions with were identified respect soil health (soil erosion...

Boswellia papyrifera woodland provides considerable economic, ecological and socio-cultural benefits in the drylands of Ethiopia. However, its populations are rapid decline due to human pressure environmental degradation. As a consequence, species is now considered being endangered, demanding an urgent conservation intervention sustain existence. This study was carried out Abergele district, northern Ethiopia, with objectives characterize current population structure B. prioritize potential...

Food security, climate change mitigation, and land use challenges are interlinked need to be considered simultaneously. One possible solution is sustainable intensification, which the practice of increasing food production per area whilst also reducing environmental impacts associated with this. Agroforestry has been stated a that meets this definition. In study, new methodology presented assess potential different management options as intensification practices. The based on comparing...

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 scarce research assessing such patterns across pan-European scale using common methodology. This study aims improve our understanding the role trees in three different regulating ecosystem services—(1) soil erosion, (2) nitrate leaching (3) carbon sequestration—in traditional...
