2. Aligning carbon sequestration, biodiversity and salinity alleviation ecosystem services in Australian agroforestry practice
Agroforestry, which combines forestry with agricultural production (Nair, 1993) is also termed “farm forestry” in Australia (Powell, 2009). Agroforestry encompasses plantations on farms, woodlots, timber belts, alleys, wide-spaced tree plantations and sustainably managed private native forests and is of smaller extent than commercial plantations (DAFF, 2005). Farm forestry sits in the middle of the plantation continuum (Fig. 1), and this review is confined to agroforestry systems where reforestation activities are integrated with farm systems.
