TAILIEUCHUNG - AGROFORESTRY FOR BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES – SCIENCE AND PRACTICE

As rates of deforestation and land degradation, and losses of biodiversity and ecosystem services, continue to rise globally, the international community is faced with the challenge of finding land use interventions that can mitigate or reduce the impact of these environmental issues. Agroforestry, the integration of trees in farming systems, has the potential for providing rural livelihoods and habitats for species outside formally protected lands, connecting nature reserves, and alleviating resourceuse pressure on conservation areas. In the last three decades, there has been a growing interest in agroforestry because of its biodiversity and ecosystem services it delivers | AGROFORESTRY FOR BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES -SCIENCE AND PRACTICE Edited by Martin Leckson Kaonga Agroforestry for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services - Science and Practice Edited by Martin Leckson Kaonga Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
