Abstract:Shade trees provide important ecological services that support productivity in coffee agroforestry systems. Processes such as biological nitrogen fixation play a key role in this. Less is known, however, about potential indirect mechanisms by which nitrogen fixation supports coffee productivity. One potential route for this to occur is by providing ecological benefits to other above-and belowground organisms that enrich the overall function of agroecosystems. A useful lens with which to evaluate the ecological… Show more
