“…Higher aboveground biomass C stock potential was found for plantations in the tropics, such as palm oil, cocoa, orange, and rubber, with values of 45, 65, 76, and 214 Mg C ha −1 , respectively (Kongsager et al 2013), due to the larger tree architecture and the climate associated with higher NPP. Furthermore, a mean value of 55.12 Mg C ha −1 was reported for coffee agroecosystems in Mexico (Ortiz-Ceballos et al 2020). At the global level, Zomer et al (2016) reported 28 Mg C ha −1 in 2000 and 29 Mg C ha −1 in 2010, and in particular, 9.3 and 9.4 Mg C ha −1 in Europe for agroforestry and tree cover on agricultural land, values in line with those published in this study.…”

“…Moreover, Montanaro et al (2017) estimated the carbon budget in a Mediterranean peach orchard under different management practices in Italy and estimated lifetime C sequestration in the standing biomass of 14-year-old peach trees. A number of studies have estimated woody biomass on agricultural land in non-Mediterranean regions (Kumar et al 2010;Kuyah et al 2012aKuyah et al , 2012bKongsager et al 2013;Kuyah et al 2016;Ortiz-Ceballos et al 2020;Asigbaase et al 2021) and globally (Zomer et al 2016;Spawn et al 2020). There are fewer studies on changes in land use (LUC) and associated carbon sequestration potential (Padilla et al 2010;Huffman et al 2015).…”

Carbon sequestration and storage in biomass is one of the most important measures to mitigate climate change. Mediterranean woody crops can sequestrate carbon in the biomass of their permanent structures for decades; however, very few studies have focused on an assessment of biomass and carbon sequestration in these types of crops. This study is the first to estimate above- and belowground biomass carbon stock in Mediterranean woody crops through a bottom-up approach in the NE Iberian Peninsula in 2013. Moreover, this is the first time that an assessment of the annual changes in carbon stock in the study area over a six-year period is presented. For this purpose, eight crop- and site-specific equations relating biomass or biometric variables to crop age were calculated. Most of the data were our own measurements, but unpublished data supplied from other authors as well as data from literature were also considered. Census of Agriculture data was used to scale results from individual data up to the municipality level at the regional scale. Results show that in woody cropland in NE Spain the total biomass carbon stock in 2013 was 5.48 Tg C, with an average value of 16.44 ± 0.18 Mg C ha−1. Between 2013 and 2019, although there was a 2.8% mean annual decrease in the area covered by woody crops, the carbon stock in the biomass of these crops increased annually by 3.8% due to the growth of the remaining woody cropland. This new estimation of carbon stocks may contribute to better understand carbon balances and serve as a baseline to global inventories. It may also serve to assess and manage carbon storage as an ecosystem service provided by Mediterranean woody cropland for mitigating climate change and, in combination with adaptive strategies, for supporting a productive and resilient agro-food system.

Agroforestry systems (AFSs) seek synergies that improve productivity, sustainability, and environmental benefits. This is achieved through the supplying of nutrients to the soil, carbon storage, and sequestration. In the Ecuadorian Amazon, Coffea canephora is planted together with leguminous, woody, forest, and secondary forest species, where the continuous incorporation of vegetative residues from shade species represents a substantial addition of nutrients within these systems. This study was carried out from 2018 to 2022 to determine the contribution of nutrients contained in the biomass and C sequestration in agroforestry systems of coffee with conventional (high use of agrochemicals) and organic (without the use of chemicals) management. The study was carried out with a randomized complete block design, using a factorial arrangement (2 × 4 with three replications). This arrangement included two types of systems (agroforestry and monoculture) and four agronomic management practices (high and medium for conventional, and intensive and low organic). The biomass and nutrient content were measured twice a year (every 180 days); in addition, the yield was also recorded. A multivariate and univariate analysis was used for data analysis through R and SAS software. After five years of evaluation, it was determined that the N, K, Ca, and Mg contents were higher in the agroforestry systems than the monocultures. In the AFSs, the highest nutrient content was obtained with the medium conventional and low organic agronomic management, while in the monocultures, it was obtained with the high and medium conventional management. In addition, at a soil depth of 20 cm, the total storage and CO2 were 38.12 and 139.8 t ha−1, respectively. The highest yields were obtained with conventional management in AFSs (1599 kg ha−1) and monoculture (1789.45 kg ha−1). Overall, AFSs showed a significant contribution of nutrients, such as N, K, Ca, and Mg, for coffee cultivation; moreover, yields were similar in the AFS and monoculture with both conventional and organic management, which is positive, since AFSs also contribute environmental benefits.

Introducción. El cambio climático puede alterar las reservas de carbono (C) almacenado en los sistemas agroforestales con café. Objetivo. Simular las reservas de C en la biomasa aérea (ABOC) y suelo (COS) a una proyección de cincuenta años bajo la línea base y con escenarios de cambio climático en sistemas agroforestales con café, mediante el modelo CO2Fix. Materiales y métodos. En el año 2020, se estableció la línea base de C total (ABOC + COS) en veinticinco parcelas de café orgánico de la Sociedad Catuaí Amarillo S. de S.S, Chocamán, Veracruz, México. Las parcelas se clasificaron en tres diseños agroforestales: D1 (árboles de sombra-café en laderas), D2 (árboles de sombra-café-plátano en laderas) y D3 (árboles de sombra-café-plátano en el valle). Se utilizó el modelo CO2Fix para simular las reservas de C total a una proyección de cincuenta años bajo la línea base y con escenarios de cambio climático en los tres diseños agroforestales con café. Resultados. El C total en la línea base fue de 124,59, 107,43 y 102,320 t ha-1, para D1, D2 y D3, respectivamente. Se presentaron disminuciones entre 0,77 y 8,75 t ha-1 en las reservas de C total bajo escenarios de cambio climático en los tres diseños agroforestales evaluados. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los diseños agroforestales en la línea base y bajo escenarios de cambio climático. Aunque se constataron variaciones, las reservas de C total se mantuvieron a lo largo del tiempo. La cohorte de árboles fue la principal fuente de almacenaje del C total. Conclusión. Fue posible simular, en una proyección de cincuenta años, las reservas de carbono en la biomasa aérea y suelo en la línea base, bajo los diferentes escenarios de cambio climático, mediante el uso del modelo CO2Fix, en sistemas agroforestales con café de la Sociedad Catuaí Amarillo S. de S.S.
