“…5.33 3.04 2.35 Higher yield under 9 × 3 and 8 × 3 m spacing may be attributed to broader spacing more light and nutrient availability and less competition for moisture among the field crops and tree crop. Deep-rooted plants consume more deep soil moisture than conventional cropland due to their well-developed and deeper root systems and higher evapotranspiration rates (Zhang et al 2018;Arora et al 2021). Maximum benefit cost ratio was estimated in raya under 9 × 3 m tree spacing (1.67) and 8 × 3 m (1.66) as compared to wheat (1.32), barley (1.13) under 9 × 3 m tree spacing.…”

Forests are very important natural resource helping in ecological balance. Sustainable use of forest resources is critical for better livelihood options and contribute substantially to the economic development of any nation by providing goods and services to the human society, wild and domestic animal and industry. Tree based diversified land use system is very much essential to reduce the vulnerability of people to climate change by providing food and other ecosystem services during critical periods of climate change driven food shortages. In the present scenario, it is required to provide security for food, environment, livelihood and raw material for present and future generation. To address these all, tree based diversified land-use systems are much advocated. Many academicians, researcher, industrialists, policy makers throughout the world have started orbiting around these pertinent issues. With this background, it is planned to take up the scientific event entitled "Tree Based Diversified Land-use System: Augmenting Livelihood Security

“…Litter fall in the agroforestry species significantly increases the SOC content in the soil and improves the microbial activity in the soil. The higher SOC content under tree-based systems may also be due to annual recycling of fine root biomass and root exudates [23]. As litter fall was only in surface depth, the organic carbon content was decreasing with increase in soil depth.…”

An experiment was conducted during month of February 2022 at Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to identify the effect of different agroforestry systems on soil quality parameters. Soil samples were collected from nine different agroforestry systems from three major agroforestry sites such as agrisilviculture, silvihorticulture and silvipasture systems. Soil was analysed for soil quality parameters viz., pH, EC, bulk density, porosity, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium and available micronutrients. Different agroforestry systems show their effect as variations in soil physical and chemical properties. Results from the study reveals that the agroforestry system Acacia leucophloea + Guinea grass shows higher fertility status than other agroforestry systems. This system was noticed to have higher amount of available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium and available micronutrients compared to other agroforestry systems taken into account for research. Casuarina equisetifolia + Sorghum agroforestry system was observed to have low available P, available K and available micronutrients than other systems. Further studies are needed to define an agroforestry system for proper land use management and improving fertility status of the soil by including other soil quality parameters viz., biological and microbial parameters.
