- Comprehensive review of the effectiveness of particular agroforestry practices, from riparian forest buffers and filter strips, windbreaks and contour buffers to alley cropping, silvopasture and forest farming
- Summarises current research on ecosystem services delivered by agroforestry, from promoting biodiversity and soil health to water quality and management
- Assesses research on best practice in tree planting and management as well as optimising agroforestry products, from timber and nuts to bioenery
