Thesis

"Agroforestry in North Temperate Regions"
Bachelor project in the Education for Natural Resources with the Specialization Plant Science by August Hermann Søndergaard (Denmark)
"Influence of within-field understory vegetation strips on plant and invertebrate communities in alley cropping agroforestry systems"
The objective of this PhD thesis was to describe the response of plant and invertebrate communities to alley cropping agroforestry and farming systems (conventional vs organic) and assess both the positive and negative effects of UVS on biodiversity conservation and biological control of weeds and crop pests.
"Mechanisms governing natural pest control in mixed fruit-tree-vegetable plots"
Camille Imbert defended her PhD thesis on the mechanisms governing natural pest control in mixed fruit-tree-vegetable plots in the laboratory Plantes et Systèmes de culture Horticoles (PSH, INRAE, Avignon, France).
"How can talking help saving trees?"
Leo Magnin PhD's research analysed how this system operates and revealed means of managing conflicts between environmental protection on the one hand and individual property rights on the other.
Conception of an Agroforestry Educational and Extension Programme in Germany
The BSc thesis by Quirin Kern was conducted within the "working group Education and Counselling" of the agroforestry campaign "Agroforstkampagne".
"The development of agroforestry systems in Flanders - A farming systems research approach to social, institutional and economic inquiry"
There is a lot of potential in agroforestry. Nevertheless, the agricultural sector in Flanders (Belgium) is cautious. In her PhD, Lieve Borremans exposes which barriers have to be eliminated and how we can stimulate the upscaling of agroforestry.
"Design of a forestgarden for subsistence self-supply of an ecological Model Project“
Marc-Robin Lückert designed as his Master thesis at University of Kassel (Witzenhausen) germany a holistic system for sustainable agroforestry in smale scale to demonstrate trendsetting methodes.
"Silvoarable agroforestry systems in temperate regions: impact of tree rows on crops, soil and biodiversity"
The main goal of this PhD research was to analyze and quantify the effect of tree presence on a subset of provisioning, regulating and supporting ecosystem services and biodiversity aspects in a set of silvoarable fields in Belgium.
“Assessment of ecosystem services provided by agroforestry systems at the landscape scale”
Sonja Kay's PhD thesis “Assessment of ecosystem services provided by agroforestry systems at the landscape scale” was carried out at Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (EAER) Agroscope in the Research Division Agroecology and Environment and the Department of Geography at the University of Zurich (Switzerland).
Can agroforestry reconcile conflicting demands for productivity, biodiversity conservation and delivery of ecosystem services?
Alexa Varah carried out her PhD in the Centre for Agri-Environment Research at Reading University, UK and with the Organic Research Centre, UK.
