Agroforestry for Carbon and Ecosystem Management 1st Edition

Agroforestry for Carbon and Ecosystem Management, 1st Edition by Manoj Kumar Jhariya, Ram Swaroop Meena, Arnab Banerjee, Sandeep Kumar, and Abhishek Raj is a practical, research-driven guide to harnessing agroforestry for climate mitigation and resilient landscapes. This authoritative volume blends science and field-tested practice to help land managers, researchers, policymakers, and students implement systems that boost carbon sequestration while restoring ecosystem function.

Discover clear explanations of carbon accounting methods, species selection for diverse climates, soil and water management, and designs for mixed-tree–crop systems suited to India, South Asia, and other tropical and subtropical regions. Case studies illuminate real-world successes from semi-arid plains to humid highlands, showing how agroforestry enhances biodiversity, improves livelihoods, and contributes to national carbon strategies.

Readers will value actionable tools for planning and monitoring carbon stocks, integrating ecosystem services into land-use policy, and scaling sustainable agroforestry across smallholder and commercial landscapes. The book articulates pathways to increase farm productivity and climate resilience through species diversification, silvopasture, alley cropping, and riparian buffer restoration.

Whether you are a practitioner seeking implementation guidance, a planner crafting climate-smart policies, or an academic exploring carbon and ecosystem management, this edition provides both the theoretical foundations and pragmatic solutions you need. Make Agroforestry for Carbon and Ecosystem Management your reference for transforming land-use practices into climate-positive, productive landscapes across India, South Asia, and similar agroecological zones.
