“…Agroforestry systems are defined as land-use systems where woody perennials are managed together with crops and/or animals, and where ecological and economic interactions exist among the components as a result of spatial and temporal arrangements (Solis et al ., 2020). Coffee agroforestry technology is a traditional and complex agroforestry system in which coffees are cultivated under the shade of tall-growing plants (Abebe, 2005; Ehrenbergerová et al ., 2017; Waktola and Fekadu, 2021).…”

Coffee forests are the most valuable land-use systems that provide multiple benefits such as biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration and source of income. This study aimed to estimate the carbon stock of coffee agroforestry systems and the contribution of coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.) to carbon sequestration in the entire coffee agroforestry systems in southwestern Ethiopia. The carbon stock in trees was estimated by field-based measurements and allometric equations, whereas the carbon stocks in litter and soil were determined using field sampling and laboratory analysis. The carbon stocks of the coffee agroforestry systems in the study site ranged from 254.9 t C/ha in the Syzygium-shaded coffee forest to 321.8 t C/ha in the Albizia-shaded coffee forest. The overall mean carbon sequestration in the present coffee agroforestry systems was 287.1 t C/ha. The net carbon sequestered by coffee plants in the agroforestry systems ranged from 18.8 t C/ha in the Syzygium-shaded coffee stratum to 48.5 t C/ha in the Albizia-shaded coffee stratum. This demonstrates that Albizia is the most compatible shade tree for coffee plants. On average, coffee plants contributed 37.5 t C/ha, accounting for approximately 12.8% of the total carbon sequestered in the coffee agroforestry systems. Hence, we recommend coffee forests for all-in-one benefits such as climate change mitigation, sustainable landscape management and income generation.

“…Shade trees are commonly used in coffee plantations by farmers in the tropics (Dossa et al ., 2008; Solis et al ., 2020). In Ethiopia, coffee is grown in a traditional way following the principles that Lammerts van Bueren and Struik (2004) referred to as ‘the concept of naturalness’, enhancing organic coffee production systems.…”

“…El incremento del COS en los tres diseños agroforestales a los veinte años, se debió a la rotación del cultivo de café y a la rotación de la cohorte de plátano a los diez años en D2 y D3. El suelo, tanto en la línea base como en la simulación a cincuenta años, representó el mayor reservorio de C en los diseños agroforestales de café evaluados, tal como se registró en diversas investigaciones (Chatterjee et al, 2020;Ehrenbergerová et al, 2016;Solis et al, 2020).…”

“…Los sistemas agroforestales con café en el sur de México pueden almacenar entre 150 t ha -1 y 194,7 t ha -1 de carbono (Álvarez Arteaga et al, 2012;Soto-Pinto & Aguirre-Dávila, 2015), mientras que en el estado de Veracruz pueden almacenar hasta 188 t ha -1 (Masuhara et al, 2015). Por lo tanto, los sistemas agroforestales con café juegan un papel importante en el almacenamiento de C, al tiempo que promueve la conservación de árboles útiles en el paisaje agrícola (Solis et al, 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.

“…Agroforestry systems have similarly been seen as one of the promising management practices to increase soil C stocks, reduce soil degradation and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., Frouz et al, 2013;Ehrenbergerová et al, 2016;Dollinger and Jose, 2018;Justine et al, 2019;Solis et al, 2020). Nitrogen fixing leguminous trees (such as Albizzia sp., Inga sp and Erythrina sp) have been commonly used to bring N and organic matter to the system in addition to other benefits (Vaast et al, 2008;.…”

A study was conducted in none tilled coffee agroforestry fields of Eastern Uganda to understand the effects of application of inorganic fertilizers on soil nutrient loss in form of gas for mitigation of unsustainable agricultural practices. This study specifically i) assessed the effect of application of inorganic fertilizers on greenhouse gas emissions, ii) determined their effect on microbial carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus and iii) determined their effect on leaf litter decomposition under Albizziacoffee growing systems of the Mount Elgon. Soil gas emissions were measured with the static chamber method for twelve months in a field experiment with five different fertilizer treatments. The effect of treatments was separated using ANOVA in Genstat discovery version 13. Microbial carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus was separated using Mann-Whitney U test. Results showed that annual emissions ranged from 19.6 to 26.1 (t C/ha/yr), 3.5 to 9 (Kg N/ha/yr) and 6.9 to 9.2 (Kg C/ha/yr) for carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane respectively. Significant effects on soil emissions only occurred for nitrous oxide (P=0.017), microbial carbon (p=0.001) and microbial phosphorus (p<0.001) for the study period. The mixture of NPK fertilizers presented the lowest carbon dioxide loss and application of TSP presented the lowest nitrous oxide emission from soil. This study underscores the need for establishment of long-term experiments across several agro-ecological zones to confirm farmers' perceptions of their soil fertility levels and ascertain the contribution of farm practices towards the retention of nutrients in the soil with minimal emission, to inform decisions of small holder farmers, policy and development partners for sustainable production.
