Carbon sequestration potential of a 27-year-old tree-based intercropping system in southwestern Ontario
(2013)This study aimed to quantify carbon (C) pools and fluxes in a 27-year-old tree-based intercropping (TBI) system as compared to a conventional agricultural system at the University of Guelph�s Agroforestry Research Station ... -
An international success : Great Plains Windbreak Renovation & Innovation Conference, 2012
(2013)In March of 2011 discussions began among conservation agencies and organizations in Canada and the U.S. about the need for a region-wide conference or training session on windbreak renovation. Representatives from three ... -
Verification of shelterbelt crop yield improvements in the Great Plains region
(2013)In 1962, J. H. Stoeckeler summarized the impacts of windbreaks on agriculture in the Great Plains. This paper has been the standard by which windbreak benefits, particular crop yield benefits have been judge. Over the last ... -
APEX simulation : environmental benefits of agroforestry buffers on corn-soybean watersheds
(2013)The Agricultural Policy Environmental Extender (APEX) model has the ability to simulate the effects of vegetative filter strips on runoff and pollutant loadings from agricultural watersheds. The objectives of this study ... -
Evaluation of hybrid poplar clones under intensive cultivation for biomass production in Qu�bec
(2013)Three experimental plantations were established in 2012 at three sites in the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Lac-Saint-Jean regions to promote and demonstrate the short-rotation-intensive-culture (SRIC) hybrid poplar crop concept ... -
Response of avian community to willow ring mangement in Prairie Pothole Wetlands
(2013)Wetlands surrounded by willow vegetation (willow rings) within the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) are an important part of the prairie landscape. They provide habitat for wildlife, remove agricultural runoff, and reduce soil ... -
Using goats in agroforestry systems to enhance food security for subsistence farmers
(2013)For thousands of years, goats have played a significant role in the agroforestry systems of people around the world. Their small size, robust nature and ability to eat a wide variety of feeds, from cactus to cardboard, ... -
Promoting tree-based intercropping systems in the political arena : a cognitive analysis of public policies in agriculture, natural resources and rural development in Quebec
(2013)In Quebec, tree-based intercropping (TBI) systems are considered as potential contributors to climate change adaptation as well as ecological goods and services providers. TBI systems are consequently promoted by stakeholders ... -
Agroforestry in Germany : from traditional to modern applications
(2013)Agroforestry (AF) has a long history also in temperate climatic zones (e.g. grassland fruit orchards / "Streuobstwiesen" in southern Germany or wind brakes in northern Germany). However, due to the immense industrialization ... -
NEWBio : growing bioenergy on marginal lands
(2013)Biomass has been a resource for energy and materials in the northeastern U.S. for hundreds of years, and has the potential to dramatically increase its role in the decades to come. The region has high agricultural productivity, ... -
Potential commercialization of Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) fruit grown on silvopastures in Texas and Oklahoma
(2013)This presentation explores the commercialization of Osage Orange fruit as a source of biofuel feedstocks and animal feed. It may be possible to harvest fruit from existing trees while at the same time planting new Osage ... -
Creating the knowledge infrastructure to enhance landowner adoption of agroforestry through an agroforestry academy
(2013)Agroforestry offers a novel approach to land management that provides opportunities to combine productivity and profitability with environmental stewardship, resulting in healthy and sustainable agricultural systems that ... -
Concentrated runoff flow : implications for buffer design and water quality benefits
(2013)Non-uniform or concentrated flow of surface runoff from agricultural fields can reduce the pollutant trapping effectiveness of buffer strips having constant width along a riparian zone or field margin. Effectiveness and ... -
Update on hazelnut development program in the Lake States
(2013)Hazelnut (Corylus spp.) is a potential nut crop for the Lake States. In the past, researchers and hobbyists have hybridized American and European hazelnut in an effort to develop a cold hardy, disease resistant hybrid ... -
The effect of mesh shelters and nitrogen fertilzer on growth for bigtooth aspen wildlife plantings
(2013)Bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata) is a good species for use in conservation plantings in the agricultural landscape of Central Wisconsin. The buds and twigs are utilized as forage by a range of species in winter. The ... -
Determination of the extent area of interactions between the olive trees and cereals in an alley cropping system in Morocco
(2013)In an Agroforestry system, interactions between annual crops and perennial ones are complex. In the objective of elucidating the resultant of those interactions on the performances of the system olive tree - cereal crops, ... -
Windbreak removal in Eastern Nebraska
(2013)Higher prices for commodities (maize, soybean and wheat) have meant more tree removal in Eastern Nebraska. Casual window surveys each spring have shown new piles of woody vegetation pushed out to make room for an additional ... -
Fine roots distribution, light conditions and yield in a tree-based intercrop system
(2013)"In tree-based intercrop systems (TBI), trees are planted in widely spaced rows to allow agricultural activities to continue. These agroforestry systems are new in Qu_bec but well known in Europe, USA and China (Baldy et ... -
Evaluating tree root distribution in a tree-based intercropping system with use of ground penetrating radar
(2013)Within agroforestry systems, tree root architecture is a driver of important ecological processes such as belowground nutrient flows and C storage. Yet the belowground component of trees remains largely under-studied due ... -
Fast growing tree species in alley cropping systems and their influence on microclimate in Germany
(2013)The production of energy wood on arable land has been increased in Germany during the last years. In this context, agroforestry systems keep a prominent position in agriculture, since they allow the simultaneous production ...
