In recent years, in the European Union, sewage sludge production has been increased as a result of EU policy (European directive
91/271/EEC). Organic matter and nutrient sewage sludge contents, principally nitrogen, indicate it can be used as fertilizer.
The objective of the experiment was to compare the effect of no fertilization, three doses of sewage sludge, with or without
liming, and the fertilization usually used in the region applied over a period of 3 years on pasture production and tree growth
in a silvopastoral system. The experiment was conducted in the northwest of Spain. The soil was very acid (soil pH = 4.5)
and had very low nutrient levels, especially P, that is related to site index. It was sown with a grass mixture (25 kg ha−1 of Lolium perenne L. 10 kg ha−1 of Dactylis glomerata L. and 4 kg ha−1 of Trifolium repens L.) in Autumn 1997 under a plantation of 5-year-old Pinus radiata D. Don at a density of 1,667 trees ha−1. Liming and sewage sludge fertilization increased soil pH and reduced saturated aluminium percentage in the interchange complex
(Al/IC) in the soil, coming up the effect before with liming. Medium and high sewage sludge doses increased pasture production
in the two first years. In a silvopastoral system, positive tree growth response to different fertilization treatments depended
on tree age, initial soil fertility, soil pH, the relationship of competition with pasture production and previous liming
application. 相似文献

The use of municipal sewage sludge as a fertiliser could be a more adequate means of disposal of this residue than its transport to the dump. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of different doses of sludge and sowing a mixture of cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) and clover (Trifolium repens) on pasture production, botanical composition of the pasture, forage quality, and changes in soil chemical properties. Treatments applied were: (1) no fertilisation (L0), (2) fertilisation with 26 Mg ha–1 of sewage sludge with no sowing (L40), (3) fertilisation with 26 Mg ha–1 of sewage sludge and sowing with 25 kg of Dactylis glomerata L. cv Artabro (Dg) and 3 kg Trifolium repens cv Huia per hectare and (4) 52 Mg ha–1 of sewage sludge with no herbage sowing (L80). Plots were established in a silvopastoral system with Pinus radiata D. Don at a density of 1666 trees ha–1 (3 × 2 m). The improvement of soil fertility due to organic fertiliser application and the use of Dactylis glomerata increased the production and quality of pasture as well as reduced the risk of fire and erosion, as grasses dominated shrubs. Fertilisation with sewage sludge in soils of acid origin increased the concentration of copper in the pasture and, if cocksfoot was not sown, the levels of this element exceeded the maximum tolerable dietary levels for sheep. On the other hand, fertilisation also increased the levels of zinc in pasture, but values were not above toxic limits for sheep, horses and cattle.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

Black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) produces both valuable lumber and a nut crop. Because of this, it is an important tree for agroforestry plantings in
the Midwest USA. However, during processing of the nut crop, the outer tissue of the nut (husks) accumulates in great quantities.
Applying this material to pastures is a possible method of disposal. However, black walnut has been implicated in allelopathic
interactions with numerous plant species and may inhibit the growth of pasture species. Greenhouse and field studies and a
chemical analysis of the husks were conducted to determine the effects of applying walnut husks to orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) or red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) pastures. Applying husks at rates up to 68 Mg ha−1 to pot-grown orchardgrass resulted in root and shoot yields that were greater than in pots receiving no husks. Field studies
indicated that orchardgrass and red clover benefited from the application of husks. For orchardgrass, significant increases
in growth occurred when husks were applied at a rate of 34 Mg ha−1 while red clover responded to rates up to 68 Mg ha−1. A chemical analysis of husks indicated that significant quantities of N and K were present in walnut husks. A whole effluent
toxicity test (WETT) indicates that runoff from walnut husk-treated pastures, at the rates used in this study, would not adversely
affect aquatic organisms. 相似文献

In order to improve the management of temperate alley cropping, it is important to study the growth and physiological responses
of plants arising from competition across the crop-tree interface. Maize (Zea mays L.) was established between rows of seven-year-old silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) trees in north-central Missouri, USA with four imposed treatments: (1) an unmodified control with a standard rate of
N fertilization (179.2 kg N (as NH4NO3) ha−1), (2) trenching with root barrier installed, (3) supplemental fertilization treatment (standard N + 89.6 kg ha−1 N), and (4) a combination of trenching with root barrier and supplemental fertilization. Whereas soil N status had little
effect on maize physiology and yield at the interface, competition for soil water was substantial in both years. Without a
root barrier, soil water content, predawn and midday water potential, and midday net photosynthesis of maize plants adjacent
to the tree row were reduced compared with those of plants in the alley center, but no differences across the maize crop were
evident in the presence of a barrier. Grain yield of border row maize plants lacking an adjacent barrier was depressed compared
with that for maize plants with a root barrier present (8.42 vs. 6.59 Mg ha−1 in 1997; 5.38 vs. 3.91 Mg ha−1 in 1998). However, the barrier did not completely restore yield to that in the alley center, suggesting that reductions in
light near the tree row also limited production. Top ear height showed a similar pattern of response to the presence of a
root barrier. Silver maple trees responded to root barrier installation with reduced annual diameter growth and reduced water
status on some sample days.

Silvopastoral systems involving poplars are widespread in rural landscapes in a number of regions of New Zealand. The effect
of widely spaced trees of Populus nigra × P. maximowiczii, aged 8–11 years, on the growth and botanical composition of understorey pasture mixes was determined over 3 years at a southern
North Island hill country site. Pasture mixes comprised existing pasture, and two introduced test swards comprising new grass
(Agrostis capillaris, Dactylis glomerata, Lolium perenne) and legume (Lotus uliginosus, Trifolium repens) cultivars. Pasture accumulation beneath trees (6.6 t DM ha−1 year−1) was 23% less than open (unshaded, no trees) pasture (8.6 t DM ha−1 year−1) and differences in accumulation occurred between tree aspects (North and South sides of trees) when trees were foliated.
In early spring, North plots produced 11–14% more herbage than South plots whereas in late summer, South plots produced up
to 44% more herbage than North plots. Yield of both test swards (6.4 and 8.0 t DM ha−1 year−1) was not significantly different from that of the existing sward (7.4 t DM ha−1 year−1) but productivity varied between swards in spring and summer. One test sward included Lotus uliginosus cv. Grasslands Maku, and the sward produced 30% more DM than the other swards in mid-summer. Dactylis glomerata cv. Grasslands Wana comprised 37% of the DM of swards in which it was sown and was the most successful cultivar, followed
by Grasslands Maku. Both cultivars are recommended for silvopastoral systems where pasture is lightly grazed. 相似文献

The above-ground biomass and production, below-ground biomass, nutrient (NPK) accumulation, fine roots and foliar characteristics
of a 8-year-old silver birch (Betula pendula) natural stand, growing on abandoned agricultural land in Estonia, were investigated. Total above-ground biomass and current
annual production after eight growing seasons was 31.2 and 11.9 t DM ha−1, respectively. The production of stems accounted for 62.4% and below-ground biomass accounted for 19.2% of the total biomass
of the stand. Carbon sequestration in tree biomass reaches roughly 17.5 t C ha−1 during the first 8 years. The biomass of the fine roots (d < 2 mm) was 1.7 ± 0.2 t DM ha−1 and 76.2% of it was located in the 20 cm topsoil layer. The leaf area index (LAI) of the birch stand was estimated as 3.7 m2 m−2 and specific leaf area (SLA) 15.0 ± 0.1 m2 kg−1. The impact of the crown layer on SLA was significant as the leaves are markedly thicker in the upper part of the crown compared
with the lower part. The short-root specific area (SRA) in the 30 cm topsoil was 182.9 ± 9.5 m2 kg−1, specific root length (SRL), root tissue density (RTD) and the number of short-root tips (>95% ectomycorrhizal) per dry mass
unit of short roots were 145.3 ± 8.6 m g−1, 58.6 ± 3.0 kg m−3 and 103.7 ± 5.5 tips mg−1, respectively. In August the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, accumulated in above ground biomass, was 192.6,
25.0 and 56.6 kg ha−1, respectively. The annual flux of N and P retranslocation from the leaves to the other tree parts was 57.2 and 3.7 kg ha−1 yr−1 (55 and 27%), respectively, of which 29.1 kg ha−1 N and 2.8 kg ha−1 P were accumulated in the above-ground part of the stand. 相似文献

A field study was conducted for six years (1981–1986) on sandy loam soil on intercropping hedgerows of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam) de Wit. with three field crops viz. maize (Zea mays L), black gram (Vigna mungo L) and cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L Taub.). In treatments 1 and 2 Leucaena hedges were planted as pure crops at close (25 cm × 75 cm) and wide (25 cm × 375 cm) spacings. In treatments 3, 4 and 5 the
three field crops were intercropped between the hedgerows of Leucaena at the wide spacing, and in treatments 6, 7 and 8 the field crops were raised as pure crops. Leucaena was topped to 75 cm each time it attained a height of 175 cm.
The pure crop of Leucaena at close spacing produced an average, over the six years, of 34 t ha−1a−1 of green fodder and 9.4 t ha−1a−1 of air dry fuelwood. The Leucaena at wide spacing produced 18.9 t ha−1a−1 of green fodder and 6.3 t ha−1a−1 of fuelwood. Intercropping with field crops decreased the yield of green fodder and fuelwood. The yield of all the field
crops was less when raised as intercrops than as pure crops.
Mean maximum net returns were obtained from intercrops of Leucaena and cluster bean (Rs 3540 ha−1a−1) which were significantly higher than the returns from pure crop of Leucaena at wide spacing but similar to the returns from pure crops of cluster bean. Leucaena with maize (Rs 3273 ha−1a−1) and black gram (Rs 3125 ha−1a−1) gave significantly higher net returns over pure crops of Leucaena at wide spacing, maize and black gram.

During 7 years (1979–1985) cacao harvests (beans and husks) have been recorded for the agroforestry systems ofTheobroma cacao underCordia alliodora andErythrina poeppigiana shade trees. The mean oven dry cacao yields were 626 and 712 kg.ha−1.a−1 cocoa beans underC. alliodora andE. poeppigiana respectively. Harvests have gradually increased over the years and the plantation has now reached maturity.
Annual extraction of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in fruits, which is relatively small, was calculated on the basis of chemical analyses.
The following average values were found (kg.ha−1.a−1):
At the age of 8 years, theC. alliodora trees have reached 26.7 cm diameter (DBH) and 14.0 m in height. Mean annual growth (from age 5 to 7) is 14.6 m3.ha−1.a−1.
Natural plant residue production has been measured for 4 years (Nov. 1981–Oct. 1985). UnderE. poeppigiana it has reached a value of 8.91 t.ha−1.a−1 and underC. alliodora 7.07 t.ha−1.a−1. The shade trees have contributed 57 and 47% respectively. Transference and decomposition rates are high and important in
the nutrient cycles.
The nutrient content of the litter was analysed and corresponding average yearly transfers were (kg.ha−1.a−1):

Coffee (Coffea canephora var robusta) is grown in Southwestern Togo under shade of native Albizia adianthifolia as a low input cropping system. However, there is no information on carbon and nutrient cycling in these shaded coffee systems.
Hence, a study was conducted in a mature coffee plantation in Southwestern Togo to determine carbon and nutrient stocks in
shaded versus open-grown coffee systems. Biomass of Albizia trees was predicted by allometry, whereas biomass of coffee bushes was estimated through destructive sampling. Above- and
belowground biomass estimates were respectively, 140 Mg ha−1 and 32 Mg ha−1 in the coffee–Albizia association, and 29.7 Mg ha−1 and 18.7 Mg ha−1 in the open-grown system. Albizia trees contributed 87% of total aboveground biomass and 55% of total root biomass in the shaded coffee system. Individual
coffee bushes consistently had higher biomass in the open-grown than in the shaded coffee system. Total C stock was 81 Mg ha−1 in the shaded coffee system and only 22.9 Mg ha−1 for coffee grown in the open. Apart from P and Mg, considerable amounts of major nutrients were stored in the shade tree
biomass in non-easily recyclable fractions. Plant tissues in the shaded coffee system had higher N concentration, suggesting
possible N fixation. Given the potential for competition between the shade trees and coffee for nutrients, particularly in
low soil fertility conditions, it is suggested that the shade trees be periodically pruned in order to increase organic matter
addition and nutrient return to the soil.

We studied the effect of six tree species planted at six different densities on pasture production seven years after establishment.
Annual and seasonal pasture production was studied every six months, over three years. Pasture production was lower under
conifer trees (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, Pinus pinaster Aiton, Pinus radiata D. Don) than under broadleaved trees (Betula alba L., Quercus rubra L. and Castanea sativa Mill.). Annual pasture production under Pseudotsuga menziesii and Pinus pinaster decreased progressively starting from 952 trees ha−1, while decline in herbage production under Pinus radiata began to occur at 427 trees ha−1. Tree density effect on pasture production was detected at 2,000 trees ha−1 for all of the deciduous species studied. This effect on pasture production was more important in the first six months of
the year (June sampling), while from June to December herbage production was less affected by tree density. The tree effect
became more noticeable over time, with the last sampling showing the inverse relationship between tree density and herbage
production most clearly. Seven years after tree establishment, pasture production was quite consistent under tree densities
between 190 trees ha−1 and 556 trees ha−1 and declined remarkably from 556 trees ha−1 to 2,500 trees ha−1. The study also indicated that by the sixth growing season, annual pasture production under different tree species is inversely
correlated with tree leaf area index. 相似文献

Yields under alley cropping might be improved if the most limiting nutrients not adequately supplied or cycled by the leaves
could be added as an inorganic fertilizer supplement. Three historic leaf management strategies had been in effect for 3 years
ina Leucaena leucocephala alley cropping trial on the Lilongwe Plain of central Malawi : 1) leaves returned; 2) leaves removed; and 3) leaves removed,
with 100 kg inorganic N ha−1 added. An initial soil analysis showed P status to be suboptimal under all strategies. A confounded 34 factorial experiment was conducted with the following treatments: leaf management strategy (as above), N fertilizer rate
(0, 30, and 60 kg N ha−1), P fertilizer rate (0, 18, and 35 kg P ha−1), and maize population (14,800, 29,600, and 44,400 plants ha−1). Both N and P were yield limiting, and interacted positively to improve yields. The addition of 30 kg N and 18 kg P ha−1 improved yields similarly under all leaf management strategies by an average of 2440 kg ha−1. Increasing the rates to 60 kg N and 35 kg P ha−1 improved yields an additional 1990 kg ha−1 in the ‘leaves returned’ and leaves removed + N’ strategies, but did not improve yields under the ‘leaves removed’ strategy.
Lower yields were related to lack of P response at the highest P rate in this treatment, which may have induced Zn deficiency.
Plots receiving leaves had higher organic C, total N, pH, exchangeable Ca, Mg, K, and S, and lower C/N ratios in the 0–15
cm soil layer than did plots where leaves had been removed. Leaf removal with N addition was similar to leaf removal alone
for all soil factors measured except for organic C and total N, which were higher where N had been added. The results show
that N and P were the primary yield-limiting nutrients. Historic N application maintained the soil's ability to respond to
N and P on par with leaf additions. 相似文献

Stream and land salinisation brought about by rising groundwater levels due to the clearing of native forest for agricultural
development is a major environmental and resource problem in Western Australia and several other semi-arid regions of the
world. One potential approach to reclamation with simultaneous economic benefits is agroforestry. To determine the effects
of agroforestry on groundwater level and salinity, two experiments were carried out in Western Australia. In Experiment I
a pinius-pasture agroforestry covering 58% of the cleared area with final stem densities of 75–225 stems ha−1 was successful in lowering a saline groundwater table. Over the period 1979–1989, groundwater levels decliend by 1.0 m relative
to groundwater levels beneath a nearby pasture site. In Experiment II the eucalyptus-pasture agroforestry covering 57% of farmland at a final density of 150–625 stems ha−1 was found to successfully lower the yearly minimum groundwater level by 2.0 m relative to a pasture site over seven years.
The salinity of the groundwater beneath agroforestry decreased by 9% and 6% for Experiments I and II respectively, which was
contrary to some early expectations. The design of agroforestry for controlling saline groundwater tables needs further evaluation
with respect to species, stem densities and proportion of cleared area planted. 相似文献

Interest in planted fallow systems has focused on soil fertility improvement, neglecting other potential benefits of such
systems. It is important to quantify other processes responsible for crop yield increases under planted fallows, such as weed
control. The suppressive potential on weeds of Flemingia macrophylla [(Willd.) Merrill] and Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth, planted fallows was evaluated in field trials in three villages in southern Cameroon. In each village, experiments
were set up in 4–5 year-old bush fallow dominated by Chromolaena odorata (L.) R. M. King & H. Rob. and 20 year-old secondary forest. Total aboveground biomass production of P. phaseoloides was 7.45 Mg ha−1, 4.2 times higher than F. macrophylla (1.78 Mg ha−1 ; P < 0.05). The high biomass of P. phaseoloides resulted in a significantly greater reduction in total weed biomass compared to Flemingia macrophylla in both wet and dry seasons. In the wet season (11 and 18 MAP), there were significant fallow system × land use and fallow
system × village interactions for total weeds and broadleaf weeds. P. phaseoloides in bush (0.55 Mg ha−1), and P. phaseoloides at Ngoumou (0.09 Mg ha−1) had the lowest total weeds in the wet seasons. After the dry season, the lowest total weed mass was consistently recorded
in P. phaseoloides while the highest was in the natural regrowth. The population of grasses was always higher in the F. macrophylla system than in P. phaseoloides system throughout the wet and dry seasons. Grass biomass in the P. phaseoloides-forest LUS was the least (0.01 Mg ha−1), 58 times lower than in F. macrophylla-bush (0.58 Mg ha−1). Biomass production of P. phaseoloides was highly significantly correlated with total weed biomass (r = −0.64; P = 0.004) while no relationship was found between biomass production of F. macrophylla and total weed biomass (r = −0.08, P = 0.747). It was concluded that P. phaseoloides was a suitable leguminous species for weed control. But for F. macrophylla, its low biomass production coupled with a compact plant architecture compromised it as an appropriate species for weed control
in a planted fallow system. 相似文献

Acacia senegal, the gum arabic-producing tree, is the most important component of traditional dryland agroforestry systems in the␣Sudan. The spatial arrangement of trees and the type of agricultural crop used influence the interaction between trees and crops. Tree and crop growth, gum and crop yields and nutrient cycling were investigated over a period of 4 years. Trees were grown at 5 × 5 m and 10 × 10 m spacing alone or in mixtures with sorghum or sesame. No statistically significant differences in sorghum or sesame yields between the intercropping and control treatments were observed (mean values were 1.54 and 1.54 t ha−1 for sorghum grain and 0.36 and 0.42 t ha−1 for sesame seed in the mixed and mono-crop plots, respectively). At an early stage of agroforestry system management, A. senegal had no detrimental effect on crop yield; however, the pattern of resource capture by trees and crops may change as the system matures. A significant positive relationship existed between the second gum picking and the total gum yield. The second gum picking seems to be a decisive factor in gum production and could be used as an indicator for the prediction of the total gum yield. Soil organic carbon, N, P and K contents were not increased by agroforestry as compared to the initial levels. Soil OC was not increased by agroforestry as compared to sole cropping. There was no evidence that P increased in the topsoil as the agroforestry plantations aged. At a stocking density of 400 trees ha−1 (5 × 5 m spacing), A. senegal accumulated in its biomass a total of 18.0, 1.21, 7.8 and 972 kg ha−1 of N, P, K and OC, respectively. Agroforestry contributed ca. 217 and 1500 kg ha−1 of K and OC, respectively, to the top 25-cm of soil during the first four years of intercropping. 相似文献

Tree–understory competition is one of the most important aspects that control tree growth after reforestation. The relationship
between trees and the understory can be modified by improving acidic soils with lime and by fertilisation. This experiment
aims to evaluate the effect of soil improvements on the pasture–tree relationship by liming and fertilisation on different
dates in a Pinus radiata-reforested area. Both lime and sewage sludge improved soil fertility by increasing Ca and reducing Al in the soil. Initially,
tree development was reduced by lime, which improved the establishment of competitive grasses. Tree growth in limed treatments
did not initially respond to sludge inputs, likely because both tree and grass roots shared the same soil depth layer. Three
years after establishment, the use of high doses of sewage sludge in limed plots caused a growth rate similar to the best
treatments of unlimed plots, which grew with a poorly sown grass establishment. After 2 years of the experiment, the presence
of Erica woody shrub diminished tree development. High doses of sewage sludge with lime, as well as high doses of sewage sludge without
lime, applied in April and low doses of sewage sludge without lime added in early February improved tree growth. From a practical
point of view, lime and sewage sludge dose close to 100 kg total N ha−1 should be recommended if a silvopastoral system is established, as it enhances pasture production and tree growth. 相似文献

Arazá (Eugenia stipitata), a fruit shrub originating from Western Amazonia, was evaluated growing in association with timber shade trees (Acacia mangium or Cordia alliodora) or with plantain (Musa sp.) as a potential commercial species for the tropical moist lowlands of Talamanca, Costa Rica. Height and crown width of
the four-year-old shrubs varied between 2.7–2.8 m and 2.9–3.1 m, respectively. Flowering was positively correlated with initial
fruit formation 1 month later and initial fruit formation with fully developed fruits a subsequent month after that. Three
to four-year-old plants produced 20.0, 20.0, and 24.5 t ha−1 yr−1 (fresh fruits) in associations with A. mangium, C. alliodora and plantain, respectively, with higher production in rainy months. Fruit production in later years under C. alliodora (six to eight-year-old shrubs) was 26.5 t ha−1 yr−1. Where markets exist for E. stipitata fruit, the association can be recommended for tropical humid lowlands of Central America. 相似文献

Competition for light between hedgerows and maize in an alley cropping system in Hawaii, USA 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Successful agroforestry systems depend on minimizing tree-cropcompetition. In this study, field experiments and a simulation
model were usedto distinguish between tree-crop competition for light and belowgroundcompetition in an alley cropping system.
Maize (Zea maysL.) was harvested periodically in three treatments: between vertical barriers ofshade cloth, hedgerows of Flemingia macrophylla (Willd.)Merr., and sole maize. Radiation intercepted by the maize was calculated using asimulation model based on measured
values for direct and diffuse light, hedgerowdimensions and leaf area, and solar trajectory. Radiation use efficiency wascalculated
as biomass production per unit of intercepted radiation. Maizebiomass and yield in both the alley crop and the shade cloth
treatment weregreatest in the center of the alleys. Grain yield between hedgerows was 3.5Mg ha−1 (averaged across the alley), significantlyless than in the shade cloth (7.4 Mg ha−1) or thesole maize (7.7 Mg ha−1) treatments. Lightintercepted by the maize in the alley crop was about half that intercepted bythe maize in the sole crop.
The shade cloth intercepted less light than thehedgerows because it did not have an appreciable width. Radiation use efficiencyin
the three treatments was 0.75 g mol−1 PAR anddid not differ significantly among treatments. Tree-crop competition wasoverwhelmingly for light.

Plant growth, biomass production and nutrient accumulation by slash/mulch agroforestry systems in tropical hillsides of Colombia 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Planted fallow systems under ‘slash and mulch’ management were compared with natural fallow systems at two farms (BM1 and
BM2) in the Colombian Andes. The BM1 site was relatively more fertile than the BM2 site. Planted fallow systems evaluated
included Calliandra calothyrsus CIAT 20400 (CAL), Indigofera constricta (IND) or Tithonia diversifola (TTH). During each pruning event slashed biomass was weighed, surface-applied to the soil on the same plot and sub-samples
taken for chemical analyses. While Indigofera trees consistently showed significantly greater (p < 0.05) plant height and collar diameter than Calliandra trees at both study sites, only collar diameter in Indigofera was significantly affected at all sampling times by differences between BM1 and BM2. After 27 months, TTH presented the greatest
cumulative dry weight biomass (37 t ha–1) and nutrient accumulation in biomass (417.5 kg N ha–1, 85.3 kg P ha–1, 928 kg K ha–1, 299 kg Ca ha–1 and 127.6 kg Mg ha–1) among planted fallow systems studied at BM1. Leaf biomass was significantly greater (P < 0.05) for CAL than IND irrespective
of site. However, CAL and IND biomass from other plant parts studied and nutrient accumulation were generally similar at BM1
and BM2. At both sites, NAT consistently presented the lowest biomass production and nutrient accumulation among fallow systems.
Planted fallows using Calliandra and Indigofera trees had the additional benefit of producing considerable quantities of firewood for household use.

Validation of a canopy photosynthesis model for cocksfoot pastures grown under different light regimes 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Daily net canopy photosynthesis (P
n) was predicted for cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) canopies grown under different light regimes by integration of a leaf photosynthesis model developed for the light-saturated
photosynthetic rate (P
max), photosynthetic efficiency (α) and the degree of curvature (θ) of the leaf light–response curve. When shade was the only
limiting factor, the maximum P
n (P
nmax) was predicted to decrease approximately linearly from 33.4 g CO2 m−2 d−1 to zero as photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) fell from full sunlight (1800 μmol m−2 s−1 PPFD) to 10% of this in a fluctuating light regime. It was also predicted that at 50% transmissivity P
nmax was higher for a continuous light regime (10.4 g CO2 m−2 d−1) than for a fluctuating light regime with the same intensity (8.4 g CO2 m−2 d−1). The canopy photosynthesis model was then used to predict dry matter (DM) production for cocksfoot field grown pastures
under a diverse range of temperature, herbage nitrogen content and water status conditions in fluctuating light regimes. This
prediction required inclusion of leaf area index and leaf canopy angle from field measurements. The model explained about
85% of the variation in observed cocksfoot DM production for a range from 6 to 118 kg DM ha−1 d−1. The proposed model improves understanding of pasture growth prediction through integration of relationships between shade
limitations in fluctuating light regimes and other environmental factors that affect the canopy photosynthetic rate of cocksfoot
pastures in silvopastoral systems. 相似文献

Tree growth was measured before, and 9 years after draining a boreal fen that supported a 50- to 60-year-old stand of tamarack
(Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) and black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.). Treatments consisted of a series of ditches spaced 30, 40 or 50 m apart, and an undrained control. Nine
years after drainage, the diameter, height, basal area, and volume growth of tamarack had increased by 2–5 times that on the
control site. Black spruce growth on the drained site was 1.6–5 times that on the control. Tamarack average volume growth
(1.20 m3 ha−1 year−1) on the drained site was superior to that of black spruce (0.21 m3 ha−1 year−1). In general for both species, there were no significant differences in growth between trees on the different ditch spacings.
This result was attributed to the water table being low enough that adequate aeration zones existed across the strips between
ditches on all spacings. Regeneration after treatment was greater on the drained than on the control plots, particularly in
the disturbed areas near the ditches where new tamarack seedlings reached densities between 9400 and 12,000 stems ha−1. There was no relationship between increased tree growth and tree distance from the ditches for both species, probably because
the water table had been lowered sufficiently so that inadequate substrate aeration was no longer a limiting factor. 相似文献
