With growing concern about the environmental impact of agriculture and its consequent contribution to climate change, there is an increasing interest in the implementation of agroecological approaches to achieve a more sustainable agriculture. Agroforestry is one area of research which has gained significant momentum in recent years. Advances in temperate agroforestry reviews key recent advances in measuring and valuing how agroforestry systems promote biodiversity and deliver ecosystem services such as soil carbon sequestration. The book also considers the development of different silvopastoral and silvoarable practices, including integrating trees and livestock in timber forests, orchard and pasture systems, as well as alley cropping and intercropping. By exploring recent advances in temperate agroforestry, the book showcases how the implementation of particular agroforestry practices can contribute to achieving a more sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change. Edited by a team of international experts, the book will be a standard reference for university and other researchers in forestry and agricultural science, arboriculturists, government and other agencies promoting agroforestry and sustainable agriculture, as well as farmers interested in adopting agroforestry practices on their farms.
