Jose and Gordon's Toward Agroforestry Design is an important reference for anyone interested in exploring or managing the physiological and ecological processes which underlie resource allocation and plant growth in agroforestry systems. Drawing together a wide range of examples from around the world, the book highlights how recent developments in agroforestry research can contribute to understanding agroforestry system function, and discusses the potential application of agroforestry in addressing a range of land use challenges in both tropical and temperate regions of the world. Including both original research and synthetic analyses, the book presents examples from a wide range of environments. It focuses largely on resource allocation - both above- and below-ground - including an assessment of the recent advances in analytical and modeling tools available to this work. Concluding with a synthesis of the key questions and research gaps highlighted throughout the text, the book will be particularly useful to students and researchers involved in natural resource management, agroforestry, and applied ecology. TOC:From the contents 1. Ecological knowledge and agroforestry design.- 2. Biophysical changes resulting from 16-years of riparian forest rehabilitation.- 3. Ecological development and function of shelterbelts in temperate North America.- 4. Forage production under and adjacent to 'Robinia pseudoacacia' in central Appalachia, West Virginia.- 5. Light intensity effects on growth and nutrient use efficiency of tropical legume cover crops.- 6. Interspecific competition in a pecan-cotton alleycropping system in the southern United States.- 7. Modification of microclimate and associated food crop productivity in an alleycropping system in northern Sudan.- 8. Tree - crop interactions in fruit-tree-based agroforestry systems in the western highlands of Guatemala.- 9. Biophysical interactions between timber trees and Arabica coffee in suboptimal conditions of Central America.- 10. Agroforestry management effects on plant productivity vectors within a humid-temperate hardwood alleycropping system. eBook Springer PDF, Springer, 29.12.2007, Springer, 2007<
