“…It was indicated by preliminary measurements carried out in our experimental basin with a Cornell infiltrometer (Ogden et al, 1997) that steady state infiltrability values could be as high as 4.7 × 10 −5 m s −1 (168 mm h −1 ) (Kinoshita, personal communication, 2009). Recent experiments found hydraulic conductivity values as high as 3.4 × 10 −5 m s −1 (122 mm h −1 ) and 2.1 × 10 −5 m s −1 (75 mm h −1 ) for andisols in Costa Rica (Cannavo et al, 2010) and Guadeloupe (Charlier et al, 2008), respectively. From our infiltration capacity (that was modelled as a function of soil water content in the nonsaturated reservoirs), we calculated the infiltration/rainfall (i/R) and the runoff/infiltration (Q B /i) ratios at the stormevent scale, analyzing 78 events with cumulative rain higher than 10 mm.…”

Abstract. The profitability of hydropower in Costa Rica is affected by soil erosion and sedimentation in dam reservoirs, which are in turn influenced by land use, infiltration and aquifer interactions with surface water. In order to foster the provision and payment for Hydrological Environmental Services (HES), a quantitative assessment of the impact of specific land uses on the functioning of drainage-basins is required. The present paper aims to study the water balance partitioning in a volcanic coffee agroforestry microbasin (1 km 2 , steep slopes) in Costa Rica, as a first step towards evaluating sediment or contaminant loads. The main hydrological processes were monitored during one year, using flume, eddy-covariance flux tower, soil water profiles and piezometers. A new Hydro-SVAT lumped model is proposed, that balances SVAT (Soil Vegetation Atmosphere Transfer) and basin-reservoir routines. The purpose of such a coupling was to achieve a trade-off between the expected performance of ecophysiological and hydrological models, which are often employed separately and at different spatial scales, either the plot or the basin. The calibration of the model to perform streamflow yielded a Nash-Sutcliffe (NS) coefficient equal to 0.89 for the year 2009, while the Correspondence to: F. Gómez-Delgado (fgomezd@ice.go.cr) validation of the water balance partitioning was consistent with the independent measurements of actual evapotranspiration (R 2 = 0.79, energy balance closed independently), soil water content (R 2 = 0.35) and water table level (R 2 = 0.84). Eight months of data from 2010 were used to validate modelled streamflow, resulting in a NS = 0.75. An uncertainty analysis showed that the streamflow modelling was precise for nearly every time step, while a sensitivity analysis revealed which parameters mostly affected model precision, depending on the season. It was observed that 64% of the incident rainfall R flowed out of the basin as streamflow and 25% as evapotranspiration, while the remaining 11% is probably explained by deep percolation, measurement errors and/or inter-annual changes in soil and aquifer water stocks. The model indicated an interception loss equal to 4% of R, a surface runoff of 4% and an infiltration component of 92%. The modelled streamflow was constituted by 87% of baseflow originating from the aquifer, 7% of subsurface nonsaturated runoff and 6% of surface runoff. Given the low surface runoff observed under the current physical conditions (andisol) and management practices (no tillage, planted trees, bare soil kept by weeding), this agroforestry system on a volcanic soil demonstrated potential to provide valuable HES, such as a reduced superficial displacement-capacity for fertilizers, pesticides and sediments, as well as a streamflow regulation function provided by the highly efficient mechanisms Published by Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union. 370 F.

<div>ABSTRAKKeterbatasan lahan pertanian mendorong masyarakat/ petani membuka lahan baru di kawasan hutan, dengan cara menebang dan membongkar tanaman hutan serta membakar sisa-sisa tanaman dan semak belukar, akibatnya lahan menjadi kritis. Salah satu upaya untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut adalah melalui penerapan sistem agroforestri berbasis kopi. Agroforestri berbasis kopi yang sudah dikembangkan petani berperan dalam : (1) Konservasi lahan, air dan keanekaragaman hayati, (2) Penambahan unsur hara lahan, (3) Pengendalian iklim mikro, (4) Penambahan cadangan karbon (5) Menekan serangan hama dan penyakit dan (6) Peningkatan pendapatan petani. Agroforestri berbasis kopi telah dipraktekkan oleh petani pada berbagai wilayah di Indonesia, diantaranya di Lampung Barat (pola hutan kemasyarakatan dan hutan desa), Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah (pola pengelolaan hutan bersama masyarakat). Tantangan/masalah yang dijumpai pada agroforestri berbasis kopi diantaranya (1) Tingkat pengetahun petani tentang budidaya agroforestri berbasis kopi yang masih rendah, (2) Terbatasnya modal usaha dan (3) Ketidakpastian status lahan usaha. Upaya untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dapat dilalukan melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan teknologi budidaya, bantuan modal usaha dan kepastian hukum status lahan. Pengembangan agroforesti berbasis kopi diarahkan pada dikawasan hutan milik Perum Perhutani, hutan kemasyarakan (HKm) dan hutan desa (HD) yang luasnya masing-masing 2.250.172; 2.500.000 dan 500.000 ha. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi peran agroforestri berbasis kopi terhadap lingkungan, dan ekonomi petani serta prospek pengembangannya di Indonesia.

One effort to over come the problem is through the implementation of a coffee-based agroforestry systems. Role-based on agroforestry coffee farmers that have been developed, by farmers involve on (1) Conserve land, water and biodiversity, (2) Add of nutrients lands, (3) Control of microclimate, (4) Add of carbon stocks (5) Suppress pests and diseases, and (6) Enhancement to the income of farmers. Coffee-based agroforestry has been practiced by farmers in various regions in Indonesia, including in West Lampung (patterns of community forestry and forest villages), West Java and Central Java (forest management with communities). Challenge/problems encountered in the coffee-based agroforestry include (1) The level of knowledge of farmers on the cultivation of coffee-based agroforestry still low, (2) Lack of venture capital and (3) The uncertainty of the status of business land. Efforts to overcome these problems can through training and mentoring cultivation technology, venture capital assistance and legal certainty of land status. Development direction of coffee-based agroforestry can be done conduct of region-owned Perum Perhutani, community forestry (CF) and village forest (VF) which covers each 2.250.172; 2.500.000 and 500.000 ha. This paper aims to identify the role of coffee-based agroforestry on the environment, and the economy of farmers and development prospect in Indonesia.

“…However, Cannavo et al (2011) also detected higher total (i.e., combined effects of coffee and shade trees) transpiration and higher rainfall interception in the agroforestry system in comparison to the coffee monoculture. Higher actual evapotranspiration in the agroforestry system also resulted in lower drainage than in the monoculture (Siles et al, 2010b;Cannavo et al, 2011). The authors also showed that runoff was lower and water infiltration was higher in the shaded plot.…”

“…Lin (2010) found that the topsoil (0-30 cm) was drier at the non-shaded area and at depths of 100-200 cm, but also found that, overall, soil water was more available at the non-shaded area. Cannavo et al (2011), comparing two adjacent plots, one a coffee-Inga densiflora agroforestry system and the other a coffee monoculture, found reduced coffee transpiration and soil evaporation, as Lin (2010) had predicted. However, Cannavo et al (2011) also detected higher total (i.e., combined effects of coffee and shade trees) transpiration and higher rainfall interception in the agroforestry system in comparison to the coffee monoculture.…”

L’agroforesterie est considérée comme l’une des stratégies agricoles pouvant contribuer à l’adaptation des cultures au changement climatique. La présente étude de cas visait à comparer les conditions microclimatiques d’une parcelle de Coffea arabica cultivée sous ombrage, principalement Inga spp., et celles d’une parcelle de C. arabica menée en monoculture sans ombrage dans la même plantation de café, dans la région de Pasco au Pérou. La température et l’humidité de l’air, la température du sol et la disponibilité en eau du sol ont été mesurées pendant trois ans. Les résultats indiquent que l’ombrage des arbres réduit la température moyenne de l’air de 0,4 ± 0,04 °C et la température du sol de 1,7 ± 0,3 °C, et augmente l’humidité de l’air de 3,9 ± 0,4 % par rapport à la zone sans ombrage. Cependant, la moyenne mensuelle des températures de l’air dans la zone non ombragée, et même la température maximale, ne dépassent pas outre mesure la limite permettant la photosynthèse (seuil 34 °C). De plus, les températures minimales mensuelles diffèrent peu entre les zones ombragées et non ombragées, alors que la fluctuation des températures du sol est plus marquée dans la zone non ombragée. Un des principaux constats de cette étude concerne la sécheresse plus marquée des sols dans la zone ombragée, surtout au début et à la fin de la saison sèche. Ceci s’explique probablement par l’augmentation de la transpiration totale par celle des arbres d’ombrage. L’absorption d’eau plus importante en agroforesterie pourrait ainsi avoir un impact négatif sur la croissance des caféiers dans les situations où la disponibilité en eau est un facteur limitatif.
