“…Residues that are rich in N are thought to enhance the C use efficiency of decomposer organisms [60,61], resulting in a higher microbial biomass [60] and eventual stabilization of SOC. Our findings thus lend support to the potential role of agroforestry systems for sequestering C and supporting overall soil fertility in agricultural lands [24,25].…”

“…Practices associated with mixed agroforestry systems, such as the inclusion of vegetation that is structurally and taxonomically diverse, as well as continuous soil cover, are often associated with soil biological activity, including enhanced abundance and diversity of soil macrofauna [21,22]. Additionally, agroforestry systems can contribute to C sequestration in agricultural lands via storage of C in tree biomass and SOM [23][24][25].…”

Linkages among Soil Properties and Litter Quality in Agroforestry Systems of Southeastern Brazil

Agroforestry systems have been promoted as a solution to address trade-offs between environmental conservation efforts and the need for increased agricultural productivity on smallholder farms in Brazil. However, the impact of land use change from degraded pasture to agroforestry on soil properties remains unclear. The objectives of this research were to: (1) assess soil chemical, physical and biological properties across distinct land uses (degraded pasture, agroforestry and secondary forest); and (2) understand relationships between litter quality, soil organic matter (SOM) and key soil quality parameters in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. Soils, macroinvertebrates and litter were collected in April and September of 2018 under five land uses, including: three types of agroforestry systems, a degraded pasture and a secondary forest in Sapucaia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Our results showed that soil properties clearly separated the three agroforestry systems plots (AS1, AS2, AS3) from the forest and pasture plots. Moreover, litter quality and SOM likely influence multiple biological and physiochemical soil properties under agroforestry systems and secondary forest. Our findings suggest that agroforestry systems can help support soil biological, chemical and physical properties and that the litter quality may be an important driver of their effects and potential contributions to soil restoration in the region.

“…Our results regarding the total SOC storage in OP were similar to the carbon storage reported by Zaro et al (2020) in a coffee with rubber tree agroforestry system in Brazil; this author obtained 20% less SOC storage at a depth of 0-70 cm. Such comparisons only are illustrative of potential discrepancies among various alternative land uses.…”

There is a need for more studies on the effects of oil palm plantations on soil organic carbon storage and on the environmental services provided by these agrosystems in Mexico. This study focused on estimating the soil organic carbon stocks in three areas within oil palm plantations (palm circle, under the frond and between palm rows), at three soil depths (20, 40 and 60 cm) and comparing the carbon storage between different land-uses: a 20-year-old pasture (GS20), a 20-year-old oil palm plantation (OP20), and a secondary forest (SF20). Our results suggest that oil palm plantations store soil organic carbon mainly under frond areas when sown in lixisols and luvisols, with lower carbon sequestration in the palm circle. Regarding the soil depth, the estimated carbon storage was 87 Mg C ha−1 and 67 Mg C ha−1 at depths of 20 and 60 cm, respectively. Regarding land-use comparison, results indicate an increase (not statistically significant) in carbon storage to 27% at 20 cm depth and 18% at 60 cm between pasture and palm plantation. The second-growth forest presented higher carbon storage compared to both other land uses.

“…Los resultados de COS en la línea base fueron superiores a los que obtuvieron Balaba Tumwebaze y Byakagaba (2016) en sistemas agroforestales de café (54,01 t ha -1 ) en un clima semicálido húmedo de Uganda. Pero fueron inferiores con los datos que reportaron Zaro et al (2020), quienes encontraron que los suelos de algunos sistemas cafetaleros de Brasil almacenaron alrededor de 195,60 t ha -1 de C. También fueron inferiores a los resultados generados por Chatterjee et al (2020), en sistemas cafetaleros bajo sombra de Costa Rica que almacenaron hasta 146,6 t ha -1 de C. El COS que se encontró en este estudio diferió con los resultados obtenidos por Chatterjee et al (2020), Balaba Tumwebaze y Byakagaba (2016) y Zaro et al (2020), debido a que las tipologías de los suelos fueron diferentes en cada región, además de que la influencia del clima y el manejo agronómico del sistema fueron determinantes en las reservas de COS (Jansson & Hofmockel, 2020).…”

Reservas de carbono en sistemas agroforestales con café (C. arabica L.) ante el cambio climático: caso México

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.
