Agroforestry is rapidly being transformed from an empirical, largely anecdotal collection of beliefs and practices into and emerging science in the field of natural resource management. The book is a major contribution towards this goal.
This book reported findings from seven different pot and field trials and field Ginkgo agroforestry systems mainly including interactive effect of light, moisture and nutrient on Ginkgo, intra-specific competition of ginkgo, inter-specific competition between Ginkgo and crops. It provides the most authoritative analysis available up to now of the various hypotheses that Ginkgo and crops, if properly chosen and managed, have a potential to increase productive capacity of the systems. The main value of this book is that it brings together a substantial amount of original contribution to human knowledge from fundamental research, applied research in pot trials and observations of real Ginkgo agroforestry systems in the field.
