This document summarizes a literature review of 409 studies from 23 countries in sub-Saharan Africa on the ecosystem services provided by trees in agricultural landscapes. The key findings are: 1) Studies assessed provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural ecosystem services at field, farm, and landscape scales across four agro-ecological zones. 2) Provisioning services like food and fodder were more commonly studied than regulating services like carbon storage and microclimate regulation. 3) Management practices can provide benefits by enhancing some ecosystem services, but may also result in tradeoffs by reducing other services, particularly between provisioning and other services. 4) More research is needed on ecosystem services from trees at farm
