Zusammenfassung
Silvoarable agroforestry (SAF) could mitigate negative environmental impacts of agricultural land use in Europe. A GIS (Geographic Information System) tool was developed to identify agroforestry target regions where productive growth of trees in SAF systems can be expected and where, at the same time, SAF systems could potentially reduce risk of soil erosion, contribute to groundwater protection and increase landscape diversity. In these areas environmental benefits could justify the support by subsidies.
