“…The distance a household travels to collect wood for fuel and adequate accessible trees from state forests influences tree planting in households. This suggests that physical and economic scarcity/adequacy of wood energy influences households' tree planting behaviour (Sood and Mitchell, ).…”

“…(Takimoto et al, 2008) established that agroforestry systems have 3-4 times more biomass than traditional treeless cropping systems and constitute the third largest carbon sink after primary forests and long term fallows in most developing countries. Sood and Mitchell (2011) further affirmed that area suitable for agroforestry globally is much larger with substantially greater potential than prevailing existing agroforestry systems with many methods of estimating carbon sequestration like the in situ measurements. Available literature has it that C stocks and C sequestration vary across agroforestry systems and integrated land use practices like agro-silvo-pastoral systems, combine high C stocks with high C sequestration potentials.…”

Agroforestry is one of the most conspicuous land use systems across landscapes and agroecological zones in Nigeria. With food shortages and increased threats of climate change, interest in agroforestry is gathering for its potential to address various on-farm adaptation needs, and fulfill many roles in mitigation pathways. Agroforestry provides assets and income from carbon, wood energy, improved soil fertility and enhancement of local climate conditions; it provides ecosystem services and reduces human impacts on natural forests. Most of these benefits have direct benefits for local adaptation while contributing to global efforts to control atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. This paper presents recent findings on how agroforestry as a sustainable practice helps to achieve both mitigation and adaptation objectives while remaining relevant to the livelihoods of the poor smallholder farmers in Nigeria.

“…Agroforestry systems can also significantly reduce the demand for wild forests for energy. According to some authors, increased demand for tree products might encourage farmers to undertake agroforestry [46], especially in areas where the supply of fuel wood is dwindling. The growth of agroforestry for sustainable fuelwood can help replace energy sources and evolve into a significant carbon offset option [47].…”

Agroforestry systems are believed to provide several ecosystem services; however, until recently evidence in the agroforestry literature supporting these perceived benefits has been lacking. This paper aimed to provide empirical information on the role of agroforestry in ecosystem maintenance and climate change adaptation and mitigation provided by agroforestry. Agroforestry has played a greater role in the maintenance of the ecosystem and mitigation of CO2 than monocropping and open cereal-based agriculture but less than natural forest. The three components of agroforestry are important for biodiversity conservation, CO2 sequestration, and climate change adaptation. CO2 sequestration through above and ground biomass, offsetting CO2 emission from deforestation and microclimate modification are major climate change mitigation effects. Provision of numerous ecosystem services such as food, fodder, and fuel wood, income source, and enhancing soil productivity help the community to sustain changing climate effects. Hence, considerable attention needs to be given to agroforestry to contribute considerable benefit to the maintenance of the ecosystem, and climate change mitigation and adaptation next to a forest.
