“…Mohamed [35] cited that in Sudan, Acacia senegal + sorghum inter-cropping systems improved crop yields and certain soil properties. The wheat-poplar intercropping system incorporates higher levels of available soil K, N, and P than sole wheat cropping, largely through the fixation of atmospheric N and the mineralization of organic matter [36]. Salve and Bhardwaj [37] compared the physicochemical soil properties of different agroforestry systems in a temperate region of Himachal Pradesh, India, and reported that the agri-horticulture, agri-silviculture, and agri-hortisilviculture systems can enhance the carbon density and physical soil properties % increase in K % increase in P % increase in N % increase in OC in cold deserts.…”

“…Still, Sarmiento-Soler et al [44] did not find any water competitiveness between coffee and banana or coffee and C. africana, since the coffee plants' water usage remained static throughout the systems. Bisht et al [36] compared a wheat-poplar agroforestry system and sole wheat cropping system in Uttarakhand, India, and proved the role of the agroforestry system in the improvement of soil health against climate-related extremities. In the wheat-poplar agroforestry system, the highest pH, EC, available N, and K levels were observed with the UP-2572 wheat variety, while the highest SOC and available P levels were observed with DBW-711.…”

Agroforestry integrates woody perennials with arable crops, livestock, or fodder in the same piece of land, promoting the more efficient utilization of resources as compared to monocropping via the structural and functional diversification of components. This integration of trees provides various soil-related ecological services such as fertility enhancements and improvements in soil physical, biological, and chemical properties, along with food, wood, and fodder. By providing a particular habitat, refugia for epigenic organisms, microclimate heterogeneity, buffering action, soil moisture, and humidity, agroforestry can enhance biodiversity more than monocropping. Various studies confirmed the internal restoration potential of agroforestry. Agroforestry reduces runoff, intercepts rainfall, and binds soil particles together, helping in erosion control. This trade-off between various non-cash ecological services and crop production is not a serious constraint in the integration of trees on the farmland and also provides other important co-benefits for practitioners. Tree-based systems increase livelihoods, yields, and resilience in agriculture, thereby ensuring nutrition and food security. Agroforestry can be a cost-effective and climate-smart farming practice, which will help to cope with the climate-related extremities of dryland areas cultivated by smallholders through diversifying food, improving and protecting soil, and reducing wind erosion. This review highlighted the role of agroforestry in soil improvements, microclimate amelioration, and improvements in productivity through agroforestry, particularly in semi-arid and degraded areas under careful consideration of management practices.

“…An increase in potassium was observed after harvest when compared to initial values in both environments. Bisht et al (2017) in their study suggested poplar and wheat intercropping suitable for soil physical and chemical properties. In intercropping of poplar and wheat, variety DBW-711 was recorded with the highest available potassium i.e, 219.63 kg/ha under trees.…”

The current study intended to understand the influence of Melia dubia based agroforestry system on soil properties. The research was carried out at Gillan Khera in district Fatehabad, situated in the semi-arid region of Haryana. Analysis of soil samples were done for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon, soil moisture and available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The soil pH and EC decreased more under trees than under control (sole wheat crop) i.e, 8.09 to 7.89 and 0.46 to 0.44 dSm-1 respectively. However, the amount of N, P, K, organic carbon (131.38, 16.00, 301.10 (kg/ha) and 0.46 % respectively) and soil moisture content was found higher in intercropped conditions at both soil depths. Extra moisture in shaded conditions resulting in the breakdown of litter, mineralization and nitrogen gain at a faster rate compared to full sunlight conditions justifies the increased amount of nutrients, organic carbon and other favorable changes in the soil under trees. The current study recommends Melia dubia based agroforestry system as an excellent opportunity in order to enhance soil fertility and for environmental sustainability.

The cacao agrosystems are very suitable for reforesting completely cleared areas and can become biological corridors between segments of the forest, allowing the repopulation of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, among others. Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is one of the most important tropical crops both nationally and internationally. However, by appropriate management of cacao crops and the inclusion of aggregate values in forest, fruit, vegetables, and ornamental production, as organic cultivation, specific varieties of plants could generate significant income for small producers in the Southeast from Mexico. This cacao agrosystem is involved in erosion, soil fertility, plant nutrition, water quantity and quality, carbon sequestration, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and soil biodiversity.
