“…Synergies are found between ecosystem services, such as livestock, wood production, and carbon sequestration targets. Such actions can support decision-making processes for the management of sustainable and multifunctional systems (Lecegui et al 2022 andMinini et al 2024). Additionally, in the agroforestry systems there is co-bene ts to bee populations for crop pollination services (Image et al 2023).…”

In Agrossilvipastoril systems trees are cultivated together with agricultural crops or animals, aiming at multiple uses therefore constituting a viable option for better soil use. Thus, reversing the processes of degradation of natural resources, to increase the availability of wood, food and environmental services and emerging as a sustainable alternative to the currently used wood production systems. Here we investigate the effect of the Silvi-agricultural and Silvi-pastoral systems on dendrometric data, mean annual increment (MAI), CO2 sequestration, wood density and anatomical features of Croton floribundus and Guazuma ulmifolia trees. The highest values of DBH (1.3 m from the ground), tree volume, volume per ha and MAI were observed in the silvi-agricultural system. Among the systems, Croton floribundus presented higher values compared to Guazuma ulmifolia in the silvi-agricultural system. While in the silvi-pastoral system, greater DBH and consequently greater volume of trees, volume per ha and MAI occurred in G. ulmifolia when compared to C. floribundus. CO2 sequestration values corroborated the MAI, with higher values in the silvi-agricultural system. Wood properties are affected in part by the type of system. We report shorter fibers with thicker walls in the silvi-agricultural system for Croton floribundus. Additionally, we show that it is possible to associate the planting of short-cycle crops with the production of trees to obtain wood, increase the carbon stock and still be aligned with the criteria of Environmental, Social, and Governance. Results that encourage the practice of agroforestry systems with multiple sources of income.

Background Castanea sativa Mill. is important for ecosystems and societies. Its rich historical and cultural significance, remarkable ecological contributions, and diverse applications have inspired scientific research. This comprehensive review and conceptual mapping of chestnut research consolidates existing knowledge, identifies emerging trends, and highlights untapped potential to inform future investigations. First, the Scopus database was searched to retrieve all data-driven articles in English related to C. sativa published in English from 1951 to 2023. Second, the R language, Scopus Analytics, and VOSviewer were used to analyze the year of publication, authors, countries, affiliations, keywords, and citations. Finally, network analysis was performed to evaluate the hotspots and developmental trends of C. sativa. A total of 1889 research articles were recovered. Results The articles showed an exponential progression, with a regression coefficient of 0.9435 (R2) and an annual growth rate of 6.28%. Italy (19.87%), Spain (15.56%), Portugal (13.39%), Turkey (6.92%), and Switzerland (5.17%) were the most prolific countries. C. sativa (798), sweet chestnut (54), cryphonectria parasitica (44), honey (38), phenolic compounds (35), chestnut blight (33) and antioxidant activity (31) are the keywords that occur the most frequently. The main research groups in the thematic map are "forest management," "Cryphonectria parasitica," "wood," "Spain" and "ethnobotany." Research on C. sativa has all the basic, motor, niche, and emerging or declining themes. Forest management, drought, Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi, C. sativa shells, amino acids, honey, phenolic compounds, hydrolyzable tannins, antioxidant capacity, antioxidants, and extractives are trending topics. Conclusions This bibliometric analysis highlights the importance of C. sativa research, revealing its ecological contributions, cultural significance, and diverse applications. Future studies should focus on forest management, drought resistance, and bioactive properties to ensure sustainable utilization.

Legumes have the potential to provide diverse ecosystem services, therefore, it is important to understand the quantitative and qualitative aspects of their development in different cropping systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dendrometric, productive characteristics and nutritional value of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Benth. in monocrop and a silvopastoral system with signal grass, in Brazil. The treatments were distributed under a randomized block design and consisted of M. caesalpiniifolia monocrop system and silvopasture (signal grass + M. caesalpiniifolia). Evaluations were carried out every 56 days for two years. The data were analyzed using repeated measures over time using SAS on demand (2021) and the treatment means were compared using PDIFF with Tukey's test (P < 0.05). There was no effect of cropping systems (P > 0.05) on plant height (~ 5.2 m). The greatest values for diameter at breast height (16.32 cm), basal diameter (20.54 cm), and dry matter production per plant (36 g DM plant− 1) were observed in the silvopasture system (P < 0.05). Forage mass was higher (P < 0.05) in the monocrop system compared to silvopasture (69 and 22 kg DM ha− 1, respectively) in the first year of evaluation. Total forage accumulation was greater in the monocrop system compared to silvopasture (383 vs. 116 kg DM ha− 1 year− 1) in the first year of evaluation. The nutritional value was not influenced (p < 0.05) by the cultivation systems in the first year of evaluation, however, higher content of CP (221 g kg− 1), ADF (449 g kg− 1), and IVDMD (383 g kg− 1) were observed in the rainy season, while the highest DM content (426 g kg− 1) occurred in the dry season. M. caesalpiniifolia showed good dendrometric characteristics in the silvopasture system. The silvopasture provides greater forage production per plant of M. caesalpiniifolia and better nutritional value of the forage than the legume monocrop.
