Mining bees (Andrenidae) are solitary, ground-nesting, smaller to medium in size, mostly found in the temperate agroforestry and arid ecosystems. These bee's builds their nest in soil mounds and burrows in the soil that's why they are called mining bees. These bees are very efficient pollinator in...

Alley cropping agroforestry - whereby tree rows are integrated in crop plots - is considered as a lever for the agroecological transition. Its benefit for enhancing soil functioning is rarely studied. We studied soil health in a 25 years temperate agroforestry plot cultivated with barley (Hordeum...

Aims: Temperate alley-cropping agroforestry systems maintain agricultural production while offering several environmental benefits. Central benefits of agroforestry systems such as the 'safety-net'-role of the trees for leached nutrients are mainly due to processes occurring below the soil surface: ...

Black walnut (Juglans nigra) and honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos) have gained particular interest for use in silvopastures and other temperate agroforestry systems. However, measures of soil health indicators in these deciduous hardwood silvopastures over time have received limited attention....

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration by improved agricultural practices is an acclaimed strategy to combat climate change. Nevertheless, the aim of increasing of SOC encounters limitations, e.g. with regards to permanence of carbon storage or leakage effects in food production. Agroforestry...

Background: Tree-based intercropping (agroforestry) has been advocated to reduce adverse environmental impacts of conventional arable cropping. Modern agroforestry systems in the temperate zone are alley-cropping systems that combine rows of fast-growing trees with rows of arable crops. Soil...

Background: Alley-cropping systems in the temperate zone are a type of agroforestry in which rows of fast-growing trees are alternated with rows of annual crops. With numerous environmental benefits, temperate agroforestry is considered a promising alternative to conventional agriculture and soil...
