Impact of tree shading on the microclimate of a coffee plantation: a case study from the Peruvian Amazon

Abstract: L’agroforesterie est considérée comme l’une des stratégies agricoles pouvant contribuer à l’adaptation des cultures au changement climatique. La présente étude de cas visait à comparer les conditions microclimatiques d’une parcelle de Coffea arabica cultivée sous ombrage, principalement Inga spp., et celles d’une parcelle de C. arabica menée en monoculture sans ombrage dans la même plantation de café, dans la région de Pasco au Pérou. La température et l’humidité de l’air, la température du sol et  la disponib… Show more

“…Previous studies have highlighted the ability of shade trees to modify microclimate conditions. For example, when moving from an unshaded monoculture into an agroforestry system, maximum air temperature decreases (Pezzopane, Marsetti et al, 2011; Pezzopane, Souza et al, 2011), minimum air temperature increases (Siles et al, 2010), relative humidity increases (DaMatta et al, 2007; Ehrenbergerová et al, 2017; López‐Bravo et al, 2012), leaf wetness frequency increases (López‐Bravo et al, 2012), and TKE increases (Avelino et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2018). It may be these marked changes from unshaded to shaded positions that substantiates canopy openness as the main driver of differences in microclimate conditions.…”

“…However, the costs of coffee production outweigh the income in the long term, and if the farmers remove all the shade trees, they will have no additional income from agroforestry for a decade. Moreover, the benefits of agroforestry systems, such as the stabilization of microclimatic conditions (Lin, 2007;Siles et al, 2010), soil protection (Wintgens, 2004), carbon fixation (Soto-Pinto et al, 2010;Ehrenbergerová et al, 2016) or providing refuge for forest biota (Perfecto et al, 1996;Moguel and Toledo, 1999), will be lost for many years.…”

“…The microclimate of the Inga site was measured during the years 2011-2013 at the shaded site. The average annual air temperature was 18.3 ± 0.3 °C, and the average annual air humidity was 93.7 ± 1.4 % over the three measured years (Ehrenbergerová et al, 2017).…”

“…Even in our analysis, we did not consider the potential income from harvesting timber trees in the gross revenue estimates, selling timber could add on average 400 USD/ha (std 307 USD/ha) to the overall gross income of timber-based coffee systems. Several authors support the argument that both firewood and timber generate considerable revenues for coffee growers which helps cope with fluctuation of coffee prices and pest and diseases outbreaks (Peeters et al, 2003;Rice, 2008;Noponen et al, 2013;Ehrenbergerová et al, 2018Ehrenbergerová et al, , 2019.…”
