“…Linear relationship (y = −4.8 × + 78.5; P < 0.001; R 2 : 0.84) between OMD% and site classes (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) indicated highest values in the best forest sites. In conclusion, the interaction of the environmental variables that determined the productive capacity of the forest (clime, soil) also affected the OMD values of the understorey grasses.…”

Agroforestry, the purposeful growing of trees and crops in interacting combinations, began to attain prominence in the late 1970s, when the international scientifi c community embraced its potentials in the tropics and recognized it as a practice in search of science. During the 1990s, the relevance of agroforestry for solving problems related to deterioration of family farms, increased soil erosion, surface and ground water pollution, and decreased biodiversity was recognized in the industrialized nations too. Thus, agroforestry is now receiving increasing attention as a sustainable landmanagement option the world over because of its ecological, economic, and social attributes. Consequently, the knowledge-base of agroforestry is being expanded at a rapid rate as illustrated by the increasing number and quality of scientifi c publications of various forms on different aspects of agroforestry.Making full and effi cient use of this upsurge in scientifi c agroforestry is both a challenge and an opportunity to the agroforestry scientifi c community. In order to help prepare themselves better for facing the challenge and seizing the opportunity, agroforestry scientists need access to synthesized information on multi-dimensional aspects of scientifi c agroforesty.The aim of this new book-series, Advances in Agroforestry, is to offer state-of-the art synthesis of research results and evaluations relating to different aspects of agroforestry. Its scope is broad enough to encompass any and all aspects of agroforestry research and development. Contributions are welcome as well as solicited from competent authors on any aspect of agroforestry. Volumes in the series will consist of reference books, subjectspecifi c monographs, peer-reviewed publications out of conferences, comprehensive evaluations of specifi c projects, and other book-length compilations of scientifi c and professional merit and relevance to the science and practice of agroforestry worldwide.More information about this series at
