CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Tree-crop interactions: a physiological approach

Exporter la citation

Agroforestry is rapidly being transformed from an empirical, largely anecdotal collection of beliefs and practices into an emerging science in the field of natural resource management. This book is a major contribution towards this goal, and is aimed at students, research workers and practitioners in agroforestry and applied plant physiology. The authors have applied principles of plant ecology and crop physiology to develop more precise approaches that quantify biological (tree-crop) interactions in agroforestry systems. The various models developed, particularly the tree-crop interactions equation, provide practical but rigorous approaches for both above- and below-ground processes. The book focuses on two basic resources: water and light. Tree-crop interactions for nutrients are not treated in depth as there are very few data on this subject. There are 10 chapters by various authors: (1) A framework for quantifying the various effects of tree-crop interactions (Ong, C. K.); (2) Mixed cropping of annuals and woody perennials: an analytical approach to productivity and management (Ranganathan, R.; Wit, C. T. de); (3) Mulch and shade model for optimum alley-cropping design depending on soil fertility (Noordwijk, M. van); (4) Principles of resource capture and utilization of light and water (Ong, C. K.; Black, C. R.; Marshall, F. M.; Corlett, J. E.); (5) Microclimatic modifications in agroforestry (Brenner, A. J.); (6) The water balance of mixed tree-crop systems (Wallace, J. S.); (7) Biological factors affecting form and function in woody-non-woody plant mixtures (Huxley, P.); (8) Tree-soil-crop interactions on slopes (Garrity, D. P.); (9) Root distribution of trees and crops: competition and/or complementarity (Noordwijk, M. van; Lawson, G.; Soumaré, A.; Groot, J. J. R.; Hairiah, K.); and (10) Woody-non-woody plant mixtures: some afterthoughts.
