Contents:

pt. 1: Ecological Interactions: An Overview -- pt. II: The Belowground Ecology -- pt. III: Models in Agroforestry -- pt. IV: Ecological Economics.

Summary: Agroforestry is a traditional practice of combining trees with agricultural crops or pasture. For it to be profitable a better understanding of various ecological processes that govern these systems is required. This volume aims at providing knowledge as to how ecologically sustainable agroecosystems can meet the challenges of enhancing crop productivity, soil fertility and environmental sustainability. Part I focuses on various tree-crop interactions in different ecoregions of the world. Part II is devoted to root-mediated belowground interactions in agroforestry systems and their role in enhancing crop productivity, soil fertility and sustainability. Part III provides insight into the role of ecological modeling of complex agroforestry systems such as shelter belts, and how they help in choosing suitable computer-based designs to gain profitability. Part IV deals with various socioeconomic aspects of agroforestry and technological tools that benefit societies in different parts of the world
