Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Agricultura Silvicultura Sostenibilidad Comunidades bióticas Biodiversidad Ecosistemas Clasificación: 630 Agricultura tecnologías relacionadas Resumen: La agrosilvicultura (FA) es un sistema dinámico de gestión de recursos naturales con base ecológica que, al integrar árboles en granjas, ranchos y otros paisajes, diversifica y aumenta la producción y promueve beneficios sociales, económicos y ambientales para los usuarios de la tierra. Además, está recibiendo cada vez más atención como una opción de gestión sostenible de la tierra en todo el mundo debido a sus atributos ecológicos, económicos y sociales. Se han logrado avances aprovechando los logros de investigación anteriores y ampliando la base de partes interesadas de AF, que ahora incluye asociaciones públicas y privadas, comunidades, ecologistas, agricultores, pueblos indÃgenas y formuladores de polÃticas tanto en paÃses templados como tropicales. Actualmente se ha reconocido que la FA es un enfoque valioso para la resolución de problemas destinados a garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y reconstruir entornos rurales resilientes. Estudios recientes han demostrado que más de mil millones de hectáreas de tierras agrÃcolas tienen más del 10% de cobertura arbórea. De esta superficie, 160 millones de hectáreas tienen más del 50% de cobertura arbórea. Los ecosistemas agrÃcolas pueden mejorarse aún más a través del FA para lograr la restauración ambiental, una mayor productividad agrÃcola y servicios ecológicos clave, incluida la mitigación del cambio climático y la adaptación para mejorar los medios de vida rurales. De hecho, se considera en gran medida sinónimo de agricultura climáticamente inteligente y un remedio para muchos desafÃos ambientales modernos. En consecuencia, la base de conocimientos sobre la FA se está ampliando a un ritmo rápido, como lo ilustra el creciente número y calidad de las publicaciones cientÃficas sobre diversas formas y diferentes aspectos de la FA. Este libro ofrece información de vanguardia sobre los conceptos fundamentales y la historia de la FA y su evolución como ciencia, presentando una gran cantidad de resultados de investigaciones avanzadas y evaluaciones relacionadas con diferentes aspectos de la FA. En consecuencia, será útil para un público amplio, incluidos estudiantes, silvicultores, agricultores, comunidades locales, pueblos indÃgenas, instituciones de la sociedad civil, medios de comunicación, formuladores de polÃticas y el público en general.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Agroforestry (AF) is a dynamic, ecologically based, natural resources management system that, by integrating trees on farms, ranches, and in other landscapes, diversifies and increases production and promotes social, economic, and environmental benefits for land users. Further, it is receiving increasing attention as a sustainable land-management option worldwide because of its ecological, economic, and social attributes. Advances have been achieved by building on past research accomplishments and expanding AF's stakeholder base, which now includes private/public partnerships, communities, ecologists, farmers, indigenous peoples, and policymakers in both temperate and tropical countries. AF has now been recognized as a valuable problem-solving approach to ensuring food security and rebuilding resilient rural environments. Recent studies have shown that more than 1 billion hectares of agricultural land have more than 10% tree cover. Of this area, 160 million hectares have more than 50% tree cover. Agricultural ecosystems can be further improved through AF to achieve environmental restoration, greater farm productivity, and key ecological services, including climate change mitigation and adaptation for improved rural livelihood. In fact, it is largely considered synonymous with climate smart agriculture and a remedy for many modern environmental challenges. Consequently, AF's knowledge base is being expanded at a rapid rate, as illustrated by the increasing number and quality of scientific publications on various forms and different aspects of AF. This book offers state-of-the-art information on the fundamental concepts and history of AF and its evolution as a science, presenting a wealth of advanced research results and evaluations relating to different aspects of AF. Accordingly, it will be useful for a broad readership, including students, foresters, farmers, local communities, indigenous peoples, civil society institutions, media, policymakers and the general public.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book presents various aspects of agroforestry research and development, as well as the latest trends in degraded landscape management. Over the last four decades, agroforestry research (particularly on degraded landscapes) has evolved into an essential problem-solving science, e.g. in terms of sustaining agricultural productivity, improving soil health and biodiversity, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting carbon sequestration and mitigating climate change. This book examines temperate and tropical agroforestry systems around the world, focusing on traditional and modern practices and technologies used to rehabilitate degraded lands. It covers the latest research advances, trends and challenges in the utilization and reclamation of degraded lands, e.g. urban and peri-urban agroforestry, reclamation of degraded landscapes, tree-based multi-enterprise agriculture, domestication of high-value halophytes, afforestation of coastal areas, preserving mangroves and much more. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for a broad range of stakeholders including farmers, scientists, researchers, educators, students, development/extension agents, environmentalists, policy/decision makers, and government and non-government organizations.

En las regiones costeras, el cambio climático y el aumento del nivel del mar agravarán el problema y cada vez más zonas se volverán salinas debido a la intrusión de agua de mar. Como tal, existe una necesidad apremiante de herramientas modernas y técnicas innovadoras para la identificación de suelos salados y aguas de mala calidad, la producción de cultivos, la recuperación de suelos y la reducción del nivel freático en áreas inundadas. También es una alta prioridad abordar los problemas de próxima generación, como la contaminación del suelo y las aguas subterráneas debido al fluoruro y el arsénico, asà como desarrollar cultivos tolerantes a múltiples estrés. Además, es necesario perfeccionar las técnicas para domesticar halófitas, la acuicultura basada en manglares, el uso de cultivos de algas marinas como cultivos agrÃcolas y los sistemas agrÃcolas integrados.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : Soil and water salinity is a major challenge for the agricultural community and policy makers in terms of meeting the burgeoning population's demand for food and other agricultural commodities. In coastal regions, climate change and sea level rise will aggravate the problem with more and more areas becoming saline due to intrusion of sea water. As such there is a pressing need for modern tools and innovative techniques for the identification of salty soils and poor-quality waters, crop production, soil reclamation and lowering the water table in waterlogged areas. Tackling next-generation problems such as contamination of soil and underground water due to fluoride and arsenic, as well as developing multi-stress tolerant crops is also a high priority. Further, techniques for domesticating halophytes, mangrove-based aquacultures, using seaweed cultures as agricultural crops and integrated farming systems need to be perfected. This book addresses all these aspects in detail, highlighting the diverse solutions to tackle the complex problem of salinity and waterlogging and safer management of poor-quality waters. With chapters written by leading experts, it is a valuable resource for researchers planning future investigations, policy makers, farmers and other stakeholders, and for students wanting insights into vital issues of environment. .
