Multifunctional Evaluation of Agrofrestry systems
Project
Project code: DBU
Contract period: 01.10.2009
- 30.09.2010
Purpose of research: Applied research
The production of high quality timber in Agroforestry systems can achieve an important contribution to a higher biodiversity and added value. In the part “High-Quality-Timber-Production” of the project, pruning systems on different noble hardwood-species are analysed in respect of their effects on tree-growth and the economy of the Agroforestry system. Easy implementable tree upbringing and pruning rules should be derived of the scientific results.
Furthermore nutrient removal and the potential of the high-quality- trees for carbon sequestration.
