Assessing the benefits of temperate agroforestry in enhancing carbon sequestration

Assessing the benefits of temperate agroforestry in enhancing carbon sequestrationImplementation of tree based land management strategies, such as agroforestry, can provide greater benefits for mitigating climate change through increased carbon sequestration in soils and plant biomass. However, the carbon sequestration benefits of temperate agroforestry practices at the system level have not been well documented. This chapter evaluates the potential for carbon sequestration in temperate agroforestry systems by analyzing existing
