Abstract:<p>Agroforestry systems (AFS) have been realized as a sustainable alternative for food production to adopt climate warming, but a quantitative analysis of the radiation use mechanism of converted farmland from previous desert grassland is missing. Thus, this study aimed to assess the dynamics of interception and absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (fIPAR and fAPAR), intercepted and absorbed radiation use efficiency (RUEi and RUEa), growth and productivity of spring maize grown in AF… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
