Aims and Scope
Agroforestry, the purposeful growing of trees and crops in interacting combinations,
began to attain prominence in the late 1970s, when the international scientific
community embraced its potentials in the tropics and recognized it as a practice in
search of science. During the 1990s, the relevance of agroforestry for solving
problems related to deterioration of family farms, increased soil erosion, surface
and ground water pollution, and decreased biodiversity was recognized in the
industrialized nations too. Thus, agroforestry is now receiving increasing attention
as a sustainable land-management option the world over because of its ecological,
economic, and social attributes. Consequently, the knowledge-base of agroforestry
is being expanded at a rapid rate as illustrated by the increasing number and quality
of scientific publications of various forms on different aspects of agroforestry.
Making full and efficient use of this upsurge in scientific agroforestry is both a
challenge and an opportunity to the agroforestry scientific community. In order to
help prepare themselves better for facing the challenge and seizing the opportunity,
agoroforestry scientists need access to synthesized information on multi-dimensional
aspects of scientific agroforesty.
The aim of this new book-series,
Advances in Agroforestry,
is to offer state-of-the
art synthesis of research results and evaluations relating to different aspects of
agroforestry. Its scope is broad enough to encompass any and all aspects of
agroforestry research and development. Contributions are welcome as well as
solicited from competent authors on any aspect of agroforestry. Volumes in the
series will consist of reference books, subject-specific monographs, peer-reviewed
publications out of conferences, comprehensive evaluations of specific projects,
and other book-length compilations of scientific and professional merit and
relevance to the science and practice of agroforestry worldwide.
