“…Our findings reflect that the plots near the brick kilns showed more growth of trees and potential crops (wheat and rice) in the study area, due to shifting of brick kilns to zig-zag technology that reduced dust emission. Similar patterns were reported in other studies [21,36,37,48,49].…”

“…This study provides the estimation of potential C pools for agroforestry systems in relation to brick kilns in Mandi-Bahauddin district, Pakistan. The agroforestry systems observed in the research site are crucial for the livelihoods of local farmers, as they have both commercial and subsistence production values [36,37]. In addition to timber from tree species, field crops such as wheat also have good market prospects at local and international level, as these are widely used for consumption [38,39].…”

The current study was conducted to estimate the carbon (C) storage status of agroforestry systems, via a non-destructive strategy. A total of 75 plots (0.405 ha each) were selected by adopting a lottery method of random sampling for C stock estimations for soil, trees and crops in the Mandi-Bahauddin district, Punjab, Pakistan. Results revealed that the existing number of trees in selected farm plots varied from 25 to 30 trees/ha. Total mean tree carbon stock ranged from 9.97 to 133 Mg C ha−1, between 5–10 km away from the brick kilns in the study area. The decreasing order in terms of carbon storage potential of trees was Eucalyptus camaldulensis > Syzygium cumin > Popolus ciliata > Acacia nilotica > Ziziphus manritiana > Citrus sinensis > Azadirachtta Indica > Delbergia sisso > Bambusa vulgaris > Melia azadarach > Morus alba. Average soil carbon pools ranged from 10.3–12.5 Mg C ha−1 in the study area. Meanwhile, maximum C stock for wheat (2.08 × 106 Mg C) and rice (1.97 × 106 Mg C) was recorded in the cultivated area of Tehsil Mandi-Bahauddin. The entire ecosystem of the study area had an estimated woody vegetation carbon stock of 68.5 Mg C ha−1 and a soil carbon stock of 10.7 Mg C ha−1. These results highlight that climate-smart agriculture has great potential to lock up more carbon and help in the reduction of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, and can be further used in planning policies for executing tree planting agendas on cultivated lands and for planning future carbon sequestration ventures in Pakistan.

Perception of agroforestry adopter and non-adopter on volcano risk and hazard: a case in Mt. Merapi, Java, Indonesia

Abstract. Rozaki Z, Rahmawati N, Wijaya O, Khoir IA, Senge M, Kamarudin MF. 2021. Perception of agroforestry adopter and non-adopter on volcano risk and hazard: a case in Mt. Merapi, Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3829-3837. Agroforestry is an agricultural system that many people use in mountainous areas. Some experts have proven that this system can become the mitigation strategy in volcano areas. This study analyzes the risk and hazard perception of agroforestry adopters and non-adopters in the Mt. Merapi prone area. 139 agroforestry adopters and 130 non-adopters were randomly taken from four different areas in Mt. Merapi. Results show that both adopters and non-adopters show different perceptions regarding hazards and risk. The effectiveness of agroforestry practice for mitigation strategies needs to be studied more. The awareness of hazards and risks in the Mt. Merapi prone area is essential to save more lives during the eruption. The challenge is how to persuade agroforestry adopters and non-adopters to flee when the big eruption comes. Even though they flee, they still insist on returning home to take care of their livestock, farm, and protect properties. Mitigation education is needed; also, the infrastructure is important in supporting the mitigation efforts.

“…Soil carbon absorption in the agroforestry system was higher at 11.29 t C ha -1 year -1 than the monoculture system at 4.38 t C ha -1 year -1 . Agroforestry systems with various trees and vegetation have the highest carbon stocks of 108.9 Mg ha −1 [5]. Carbon stocks are related to species density and diversity [59,60].…”

Indonesia, as a country with a tropical climate, has a forest area of 94.1 million ha, and in 2019 deforestation reached 3,500,637.7 ha due to large-scale illegal logging for various activities. In addition, the area of primary forest has decreased over the last 15 years and is positively correlated with land degradation, carbon sequestration, and crop production. The low carbon sequestration capacity triggers global warming which has an impact on increasing the average temperature in Indonesia. Therefore, the restoration of forest functions to support ecosystem stability is the first step in forest management planning. The integration of trees and plants, namely agroforestry, is an option in the management of vegetation that is beneficial to the ecosystem. Tree-based farming systems have the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere above ground, such as trunks, branches, and leaves, and below ground, namely the root system. Agroforestry has three main functions, namely regulating rainwater (soil and water conservation), sequestering carbon (reducing the impact of global warming), and supporting the microclimate (crop production). These three functions are supported by vegetation. Agroforestry systems provide options to reduce the effects of global warming, increase crop yields, and support ecosystem stability. Thus, a well-managed and sustainable agroforestry system is the best vegetation management that can solve the problem of deforestation.
