An increasing number of studies indicate that (i) nutrient and water resources can be
abundant in the subsoil and (ii) trees have deep root systems that can possibly reach these …

This paper describes recent research findings on tree–crop interactions in the semiarid
tropics focusing on the potential of agroforestry systems to improve the efficiency with which …

Variations in soil water, crop yield and fine roots of 3–4 year-old Grevillea robusta Cunn. and
Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp. growing in association with maize (Zea mays L.) were …

The greatest challenge for agroforestry in dryland areas is to identify species combinations
and management systems which optimize the capture of scarce available water supplies …

The spread of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi from tree to crop roots was examined by
molecular and microscopic methods in a glasshouse study. Growth of Calliandra calothyrsus …

Ecological interactions in multispecies agroecosystems: concepts and rules. Locally derived

The traditional Acacia senegal bush-fallow in North Kordofan, Sudan, was disrupted and the
traditional rotational fallow cultivation cycle has been shortened or completely abandoned …

An agro-ecological analysis of the maize component of an agroforestry system in the eastern
mid-hills of Nepal was conducted in 1999. The aim of the study was to understand farmers' …

In simultaneous agroforestry systems trees can compete with crops for water, especially in
semi-arid areas. However, in the (sub) humid tropics, on P-fixing Oxisols/Ferralsols small …

Wide acceptance of silvopasture as an alternative sustainable agricultural system in the
southeastern United States will depend on an improved understanding of the tree‐forage …
