In agroforestry, trees are grown in association with crops, pastures or livestock. Soil management has always been a central consideration, and in the earliest form of agroforestry, shifting cultivation, soil fertility was the main objective. This extensively revised edition provides the background and detailed techniques for soil management through agroforestry. It incorporates the significant progress made since the previous edition in 1989 and includes important results from longterm studies. This practical volume is essential reading for agroforestry students and a valuable sourcebook for anyone concerned with sustainable development.
