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.

Forest, agroforest, low-value landscape or wasteland (FALLOW)

Export citation

Forest, Agroforest, Low-value Landscape or Wasteland (FALLOW) is a spatially explicit model that simulates the consequence of agents' land management decisions on overall landscape dynamics. It is useful for exploring how the changes in the landscape have an impact on carbon sequestration, biodiversity and watershed functions. FALLOW is particularly suited to simulate rural or peri-urban landscapes where land-based activities (that is, agriculture, forest extraction) are still the main livelihood. FALLOW proceeds in annual time steps at watershed scale
