Soil Changes Under Agroforestry (SCUAF) was conceived as an integrated simulation model with predictive capacity for assisting in the design and assessment of agroforestry systems that will minimize soil erosion and maintain or improve soil fertility. At present there is no enough knowledge for precise definition, and hence identification of knowledge gaps and deficiencies in data, so as to suggest research priorities; thus SCUAF has the objective of finding solutions to these, but due to constraints a single aspect was started initially and this is the construction and testing of a carbon model; which described in this paper
