Justus van Ramshorst and colleagues @bioclimatology.bsky.social show that compared to conventional cropland, alley cropping #agroforestry in #Germany has a higher NEP, GPP and carbon sequestration. Research from Bonares-SIGNAL.

Nice to see an interesting article evaluating the multifunctionality of #agroforestry in #Canada. This is to my knowledge the second article analyzing this after we analyzed multifunctionality of alley cropping systems in #Germany (see rdcu.be/eldIK)

The first detailed analysis of ‘secondary roads’ — those that sprout off the first road cut through an undeveloped forest — shows that they can cause forest loss hundreds of times greater than that caused by the original road

The surprising culprit for the loss of huge swathes of tropical forest
Analysis of satellite imagery of the Brazilian Amazon, the Congo Basin and New Guinea helps to show that ‘secondary’ roads take an outsized toll.

Le phosphore et le potassium, des nutriments pour améliorer la résilience des forêts à la sécheresse
Les forêts qui disposent de plus de nutriments s’avèrent plus résilientes à la sécheresse saisonnière. Celles qui n’en ont pas assez traversent péniblement une telle période, plus encore lorsque la sé...

#Agroforestry is often mentioned for its potential to mitigate #GHG emissions in #agriculture. In a new paper headed by Guodong Shao and @gomartinson.bsky.social, we show that alley cropping agroforestry had higher #soil #CH4 uptake compared to #monocultures
