Changes in Carbon Cycling during Development of Successional Agroforestry

Changes in Carbon Cycling during Development of Successional Agroforestry

Successional agroforestry systems (SAFS) mimic the structure of natural forests while providing economical outputs. This study clarifies how carbon cycling and carbon sequestration change during successional development of SAFS. In Brazil, three successional stages of SAFS, 6, 12, and 34 years old,...
