Get cutting-edge agroforestry research and data Deforestation and
the rampant use of fossil fuels are major contributors to increases
in atmospheric carbon dioxide and are enormous influences on global
warming. Agroforestry systems and tree plantations can help
mitigate the resulting climate change and degradation of
biodiversity and accelerating climate change. Environmental
Services of Agroforestry Systems addresses these global concerns
with an essential collection of presentations on biodiversity and
climate change from the First World Congress in Agroforestry
(Orlando, Florida, 2004). Respected experts discuss the latest
research and data on how agroforestry systems can help solve
environmental problems through carbon sequestration and
biodiversity conservation. Years ago, agroforestry's environmental
benefits were mainly seen as being soil amelioration, erosion
control, microclimate control, and the alleviation of the effects
of drought in semiarid areas. Environmental Services of
Agroforestry Systems goes beyond the regional considerations of
years past to focus on the challenges of today's most pressing
global environmental concerns. The contributors describe the latest
research and concepts in agroforestry systems, reforestation
efforts, soils, vegetation, and agriculture while reviewing their
economic aspects. Incentives for reforestation and agroforestry are
explored in detail. Each chapter is carefully referenced and
includes tables to clarify ideas and data. Environmental Services
of Agroforestry Systems addresses: advantages of mixed-species
plantations tropical pasture and silvo-pastoral systems tropical
forest ecosystem management research on the economic feasibility of
various land-use systems socio-economic considerations of
coffee-growing ecosystems agroforestry systems in Costa Rica
Environmental Services of Agroforestry Systems is essential reading
for researchers and scientists, as well as professionals in
agroforestry, forestry, soils, global change, climate change, and
environmental studies, educators, and graduate and undergraduate
students.
