We quantified the diversity of ground
beetles and woody plants in the same plots. Carbon stocks in natural forests (413
55.6 S.E. Mg ha1) and
in the most extensively managed agroforestry systems (387
50.0 Mg ha1) were significantly higher
than those in the more intensified agroforest system (258
39.4 Mg ha1) and in shade plantations
(219
22.8 Mg ha1).
