Topographic wetness index (TWI) is used as a proxy for soil moisture, but how well it
performs across varying timescales and methods of calculation is not well understood. To …

Management and design affect systems' ability to deliver ecosystem services and meet
sustainable intensification needs for a growing population. Soil–plant–animal health …

Greater adoption and better management of spatially complex, conservation systems such
as agroforestry (AF) are dependent on determining methods suitable for delineating in-field …

Tree species and fertilization sources may affect the soil organic carbon (SOC) and fertility in
agroforestry (AF) systems in temperate regions, but this remains unexplored. This study …

The purpose of this work is to describe the creation process of the first long-term
experimental platform designed for interdisciplinary studies of Silvopastoral Systems (SPS) …

Agroforestry systems play an important role in sustainable agroecosystems. However,
accurately and adequately quantifying the relationships between environmental factors and …

Abstract Systems-level studies aimed at determining how soil properties are linked to plant
production and ultimately animal response spatially are lacking. This study aims to identify if …

Broad-base agricultural terraces can be difficult to delineate in flat landscapes, particularly
when covered by crops, due to subtle changes in elevation over relatively wide distances. In …

The use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) for soil characterization has grown rapidly in
recent years due to substantial increases in computer processing power and advances in …

Exponential population increases are threatening food security, particularly in mountainous
areas. One potential solution is dual-use intercropped agroforestry systems such as olive …
