Microclimate effects of short rotation tree-strips in Germany

  • Multifunctional land use systems, such as agroforestry, are able to deliver several ecological services to agriculture in addition to the concurrent production of woody biomass and arable crops. For example, trees in agroforestry systems can provide shelter for wildlife and supply additional nutrients to adjacent arable fields through leaf litter inputs and fine root turnover. In addition, tree-strips have the ability to improve the groundwater quality underneath the tree-strip itself and possibly underneath adjacent fields. Unlike these commonly measured ecosystem services the microclimate conditions in temperate agroforestry systems are still a comparatively new study area (Kanzler et al. 2015, Böhm et al. 2014). This might be due to the complexity of the microclimate, which depends on various parameters such as the plant height, the planting density, and the orientation of the tree-strips. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential influence of tree-strips on microclimate using high resolution data loggers.
