“…Trees also provide a habitat for arthropods and some species of birds (Jose et al, 2009;Torralba et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2019;Pantera et al, 2021). Trees and shrubs can increase the amount of soil carbon stored in arable systems (Kirby and Potvin, 2007;Upson et al, 2016;Kay et al, 2019) and the biomass carbon stored in crop and grassland systems (Beka et al, 2023). Tölgyse et al (2023) reported that trees in temperate deciduous forest wood-pastures in Hungary and Romania reduced herbage growth, but this was offset by positive effects in terms of storing carbon and providing shade and microhabitats.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…Los dos modelos BBN pronosticaron con éxito los valores de ensayo del carbono total de la biomasa con tasas de error divulgado del 6,7 % y 4,3 % para la cubierta del suelo y las particularidades del paisaje, individualmente (Beka et al, 2023). En Reino Unido, si se promueve abundantemente, el plantío de setos puede ser un instrumento meritorio para la captura y almacenamiento de CO2 atmosférico, ayudando a la obtención neta de carbono.…”

El objetivo de la investigación fue registrar el estado en que se encuentran las cuestiones sociales, productivas y ambientales de la comunidad de Churuzapa, Lamas, como referente de otras comunidades similares. Para las valorizaciones productivas de las parcelas, las informaciones fueron proporcionadas por los productores, mediante fichas y encuestas. Para las valoraciones de servicios ambientales de biomasa y captura de carbono de las parcelas, se realizó trabajo de campo, en las parcelas de los mismos productores encuestados, registrando el peso de la biomasa seca; el carbono total y la densidad aparente de sus suelos. En asamblea comunal, en la plaza pública, las autoridades informaron a la comunidad, la ejecución del proyecto de investigación; entonces, en el mismo acto, de manera voluntaria, los dieciséis productores se inscribieron, para formar parte del estudio. Los resultados arrojan que, la edad promedio de los productores es 46 años. La superficie promedio de las parcelas es 2,51 hectáreas. El 81 \% de las parcelas tiene título de propiedad. El peso seco de hierbas es 1573 kg ha-1. El peso seco la hojarasca de diversos cultivos es 926 kg ha-1. El estado socio económico ambiental actual de las parcelas agrarias de Churuzapa tiene S/.2126975 soles ($574858 USA; t.c: 3,7). Utilidad promedio de cultivos: arroz 7,37 %; cítricos 19,9 %; plátano 30,1 %; frijol 0,12 %; yuca 26,3 %; maíz 18,6 %; frutales 45,7 %, con 21 %. En circunstancias de financiamientos productivos a dichos cultivos, con 12 \% de Tasa social de Descuento (TSD), la TIR bordea el 20 % que, sería el porcentaje de beneficio o pérdida que conllevaría dicha inversión. No existe diferencia significativa entre la valoración productiva con el estado socioeconómico en parcelas agrarias de Churuzapa (p>0.05); asimismo, la valoración positiva no se relaciona mucho con el estado socioeconómico ambiental, debido a que solo se está relacionado con una parte de la producción económica de cultivos, mas no con los demás factores; pues, el grado de correlación entre ambas variables es 0,286; que es positiva baja. Pero, tampoco existe diferencia significativa entre la valoración ambiental con el estado socioeconómico en parcelas agrarias Churuzapa (p= 0,036); la valoración ambiental del carbono solo se está considerando como referencia, aunque el grado de correlación de Spearman se muestra significativo (0,786), demostrándose que, están relacionados la parte ambiental con el estado socioeconómico de Churuzapa.

Reduced grazing and changes in the area of agroforestry in Europe

Agroforestry integrates woody vegetation with crop and/or livestock production to benefit from the ecological and economic interactions. The objective of this paper is to systematically determine the spatial distribution of agroforestry in the EU, and changes in the areas and types of agroforestry from 2009 to 2018. This was achieved using the Land Use/Cover Area Statistical (LUCAS) dataset. Agroforestry was categorised into silvopastoral, silvoarable, agrosilvopastoral, grazed permanent crops, intercropped permanent crops and kitchen gardens systems. In our categorisation of ‘agroforestry’, sites combing trees and shrubs with understorey grass or forage were required to show evidence of grazing. In 2018, the total area of agroforestry in the EU28 was 114,621 km2 equivalent to 6.4% of the utilised agricultural area (UAA), and a majority located in the Mediterranean bioregion. Silvopastoral was the most widespread system, representing 81% of the total agroforestry area (5% of UAA), with almost a third of that area present in Spain. An initial analysis of the LUCAS data suggested that the area of agroforestry increased from 2009 to 2012, before declining from 2012 to 2018. However our subsequent analysis suggests that the area of agroforestry in 2009 was underestimated due to a mis-categorisation of some grazing areas. After making corrections, we calculated that the area of agroforestry (using the above definitions) in the EU23 (a full-time sequence for the EU28 is unavailable) declined by 47% between 2009 and 2018. This decline is primarily due to a reduction in outdoor grazing, perhaps driven by reduced livestock numbers and/or permanent livestock housing. The only agroforestry system showing an increase was kitchen gardens (7%). The paper highlights the usefulness of the LUCAS dataset for studying the extent of agroforestry in Europe, but also potential limitations in terms of the consistency of the location of data points and the categorisation of grazing. The paper also argues that although the area of within-field agroforestry may be declining, the drive towards net zero greenhouse gas emissions may be re-establishing the link between increased tree cover and food production at a farm-level.
