Journal ArticleDOI
Agroforestry as a strategy for carbon sequestration
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that the area currently under agroforestry worldwide is 1,023 million ha and that substantial extent of areas of unproductive crop, grass, and forest lands as well as degraded lands could be brought under agriculture.
Book ChapterDOI
Carbon Sequestration in Agroforestry Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that tree-based agricultural systems, compared to treeless systems, stored more carbon in deeper soil layers near the tree than away from the tree, higher soil organic carbon content was associated with higher species richness and tree density; and C3 plants (trees) contributed to more C in the silt-plus-clay-sized (SLCS) soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon sequestration in tropical agroforestry systems: a feasibility appraisal §
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an attempt in that direction, validating the conjecture that AFS can contribute to soil carbon sequestration, and presented indicative ranges of SCS under different AFS in the major agroecological regions of the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity, structure and standing stock of wood in the homegardens of Kerala in peninsular India.
TL;DR: A survey was conducted in 17 selectedthaluks (revenue sub-divisions) of Kerala state to elucidate the floristic structure, composition and the extent of similarities and diversities in the composition of homegardens with particular reference to small (below 0.4 ha), medium (0.5 to 2 ha) and large (>2.0 ha) holding size categories as discussed by the authors.

Carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry systems : opportunities and challenges
B. Mohan Kumar,P. K. R. Nair +1 more
TL;DR: Saha et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a method for estimating carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry systems in temperate North America by measuring carbon pools in tree biomass and soils under rotational woodlot systems in eastern Tanzania.
