This module analyzes the presence, diversity, distribution and sustainable use of trees on agricultural land as well as in surrounding forests.
Contribution to resilience
The presence and diversity of trees on farmland and in surrounding forests strengthens the ecological and economic resilience of agroecosystems. By providing essential ecosystem services such as soil stabilization, microclimate regulation, water conservation, and biodiversity, trees enhance the system's ability to self-regulate and absorb disturbances. They also provide a valuable source of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), such as fruits, leaves, oils, and medicines, which diversify livelihoods and support households during times of stress.
