“…However, if natural areas were protected in Mexico, and also new plantations were restored and established, about 150 million Mg of CO 2 could be mitigated, as estimated in [23]. In Mexico, forest plantations and agroforestry systems represent the greatest potential for the sequestration of C [14,27,28]. In that sense, several studies report that the coffee agroecosystem (AES), with diversified shade, has great potential to store and sequester CO 2 [22,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

This study quantifies the aboveground C storage of coffee agroecosystems (AESs) present in the Xalapa–Coatepec region of the state of Veracruz, one of the most important coffee producing regions in Mexico. We identified and determined the spatial distribution of five different types of coffee AESs. Then, through the point-centered quarter method, we measured canopy coverage, total height, diameter at breast height and density of tree species at 160 randomly selected sampling sites. Using allometric models, we estimated the aboveground biomass and the stored aboveground C by tree species and type of AES; and finally, we scaled up our results at the regional level. We found out that the coffee AESs with the greatest and the lowest potential for storing aboveground C are coffee (Co) + talltrees (tree stratum mainly composed of species taller than 15 m) and Co + AcaciaInga (tree stratum mainly composed by Acacia pennatula), with a carbon density as 73.27 Mg C ha − 1 and 38.47 Mg C ha − 1 respectively. The 91.2% of the total aboveground C in the studied region is stored by two coffee AES types: Co + talltrees and Co + Inga (tree stratum composed by Inga sp.). The aboveground C storage potential of all five coffee AESs in the central region of Veracruz is 2.43 million Mg C with an average carbon density of 55.12 Mg C ha − 1 . These results assert that coffee AESs should be considered important C sinks that contribute to the adaptation and mitigation of climate change.

“…In contrast, jungle rubber and rice farming become less popular as land uses in the IRA scenario. While agricultural activities and rice cultivation are significant drivers of tropical deforestation [9,61,111], agroforestry can offer high potential to reduce forest loss [3,23]. If agroforests are established on fallow land, as in our site, they rehabilitate formerly forested open land [112].…”

“…Agroforestry presents a promising approach to protect agricultural production and enhance farmers' resilience to climate risks, especially in tropical regions, because it offers numerous economic and environmental benefits [6,12,[20][21][22]. As a mixed tree-crop practice, agroforestry provides ecosystem services such as generation of Land 2021, 10,385 food and non-food products, regulation of nutrient and hydrological cycles, prevention of soil erosion, and carbon sequestration [23][24][25][26][27]. The emerging benefits of agroforestry affect the small-scale level up to regional and even global scales [28].…”

In recent years, agroforestry has gained increasing attention as an option to simultaneously alleviate poverty, provide ecological benefits, and mitigate climate change. The present study simulates small-scale farmers’ agroforestry adoption decisions to investigate the consequences for livelihoods and the environment over time. To explore the interdependencies between agroforestry adoption, livelihoods, and the environment, an agent-based model adjusted to a case study area in rural Indonesia was implemented. Thereby, the model compares different scenarios, including a climate change scenario. The agroforestry system under investigation consists of an illipe (Shorea stenoptera) rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) mix, which are both locally valued tree species. The simulations reveal that farmers who adopt agroforestry diversify their livelihood portfolio while increasing income. Additionally, the model predicts environmental benefits: enhanced biodiversity and higher carbon sequestration in the landscape. The benefits of agroforestry for livelihoods and nature gain particular importance in the climate change scenario. The results therefore provide policy-makers and practitioners with insights into the dynamic economic and environmental advantages of promoting agroforestry.

“…No obstante, han sido cuestionados por su baja productividad económica a corto plazo, se aplican sólo en áreas pequeñas y los resultados no son fácilmente reproducibles por las condiciones ambientales específ icas en donde se han realizado (CATIE, 2001;Moreno-Calles et al, 2013). Además, estos estudios se basan en la evaluación de la producción de biomasa y alimentos, servicios ecosistémicos, calidad del aire y del agua (Casanova-Lugo et al, 2016;Torralba et al, 2016), pero poco se analiza su manejo de manera integral, donde se consideren factores clave como la calidad del suelo e indicadores como la agregación, importante en la estabilización del carbono.…”

Los estudios de suelos en sistemas agroforestales relacionados con bosques mesóf ilos de montaña han sido poco abordados en nuestro país, especialmente los desarrollados en Andosols, los cuales son susceptibles a los procesos de degradación por el cambio de uso del suelo. El presente estudio se realizó en el municipio de Zacatlán, Puebla con el objetivo de caracterizar la calidad de los Andosols bajo diferentes sistemas de manejo. Los métodos que se emplearon fueron: entrevistas a productores para identif icar los sistemas, descripción de perf iles de suelos, análisis de laboratorio y análisis de similaridad de los diferentes manejos. Los resultados indicaron que la zona de estudio está integrada por tres sistemas: bosque mesóf ilo de Montaña (BMM), agroforestal (asociaciones manzana-maíz-calabaza-arándanos) y agrícola, con adición de abonos orgánicos (FO) o fertilización inorgánica (FI). En los Andosols con BMM, la estructura biológica domina (agregados migajosos y granulares hasta los 55 cm de profundidad), presentan alto contenido de materia orgánica del suelo (MOS) (31%), alta retención de humedad (194.5%) y baja densidad aparente (Da) (0.49 g cm-3). Con el cambio de uso de suelo (de bosque a agroforestal o agrícola), la estructura biológica se reduce en espesor o desaparece y dominan los bloques sub-angulares, debido a la disminución drástica del contenido de MOS (a 16.3 o a 6.3%), y retención de humedad (de 97 y a 47%). Además, la Da aumentó hasta 1 g cm-3 en el sistema agrícola. Por el contrario, en tierras degradadas, el sistema agroforestal con manejo orgánico ha mejorado la calidad del horizonte superf icial en menos de seis años y con la FO o FI algunos sistemas agroforestales aumentaron los contenidos de Ntot y P. Los índices que mejor caracterizaron la calidad de los Andosols bajo diferentes sistemas fueron: estructura del suelo, MOS, Ntot, P y retención de humedad.
