Tree–Crop Interactions: 2nd Edition Agroforestry in a Changing Climate; Copyright; Contents; Contributors; Preface; References; Acknowledgements; Tribute to Professor Colin Black; 1: A Framework for Quantifying the Various Effects of Tree–Crop Interactions; Introduction; Main Types of Tree–Crop Interactions; Soil fertility improvements; Soil conservation; Microclimate improvements; Competition; Quantifying Tree–Crop Yield Performance; Tree–crop interaction models; Separating positive and negative effects; The resource balance approach; Modelling resource capture
Lessons from Alley Cropping and ParklandImplications for Species Choice; Conclusions; References; Appendix 1.1. Derivation of Kho's Equation (Eqn 1.5); 2: Mixed Cropping of Annual and Woody Perennial Species: An Analytical Approach to Productivity and Management; Introduction; Competition and Productivity; Model Development; PPFs; Field experiments with perennial pig
This new edition provides an update on the considerable amount of evidence on tree-crop interactions which has accumulated during the last two decades, especially on the more complex multi-strata agroforestry systems, which are typical of the humid tropics. In addition three new chapters have been added to describe the new advances in the relationship between climate change adaptation, rural development and how trees and agroforestry will contribute to a likely reduction in vulnerability to climate change in developing countries
