The knowledge of the performance of agroforestry systems compared with monoculture is scarce and scattered. Hence, the objective of the study was to analyze the agronomic productivity and economic viability of diverse agroforestry systems in Europe. A network of five agroforestry systems integrating arable crops, livestock and biomass trees was investigated to assess the range of agricultural products in each agroforestry system. Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) was used to measure the agronomic productivity, whereas gross margin was used as an indicator for economic viability assessment.

\n Agroforestry systems have multifunctional roles in enhancing agronomic productivity, co-production of diversity of food and non-food products and provision of ecosystem services. The knowledge of the performance of agroforestry systems compared with monoculture is scarce and scattered. Hence, the objective of the study was to analyze the agronomic productivity and economic viability of diverse agroforestry systems in Europe. A network of five agroforestry systems integrating arable crops, livestock and biomass trees was investigated to assess the range of agricultural products in each agroforestry system. Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) was used to measure the agronomic productivity, whereas gross margin was used as an indicator for economic viability assessment. LER values ranged from 1.36-2.00, indicating that agroforestry systems were more productive by 36-100% compared to monocultures. Agroforestry gross margin was lower in Denmark (112 ha-1 year-1) compared to United Kingdom (5083 ha-1 year-1) and the crop component yielded higher returns compared to negative returns from the tree component in agroforestry. Hence, the study provided robust field-based evidence on agronomic productivity and economic viability assessment of agroforestry systems in diverse contexts for informed decision making by land managers, advisory services, farmers and policymakers.\n

We classified agroforestry into three main types of agroforestry systems: arable agroforestry, livestock agroforestry and high value tree agroforestry. These three classes are partly overlapping as high value tree agroforestry can be part of either arable or livestock agroforestry. Agroforestry areas were mapped using LUCAS Land Use and Land Cover data (Eurostat, 2015).

According to our estimate using the LUCAS database the total area under agroforestry in the EU 27 is about 15.4 million ha which is equivalent to about 3.6% of the territorial area and 8.8% of the utilised agricultural area. Of our three studied systems, livestock agroforestry covers about 15.1 million ha which is by far the largest area. High value tree agroforestry and arable agroforestry cover 1.1 and 0.3 million ha respectively.

As well as being an important landscape feature in their own right, hedges fulfil many functions and are increasingly recognised for their importance in regulating environmental processes. However, the 2007 Countryside Survey found that just 68% of Britain's hedges are managed. Recent research has sought to address this by investigating the economic potential of using biomass from hedgerow management for local energy or heat production. This work has brought farm hedges back into focus and sought to answer questions about whether biomass can be sustainably and economically harvested from hedgerows, and as such, whether hedges can be a viable source of woodfuel? Here we outline the results of trials carried out in Southern England to assess the efficiency, cost and viability of coppicing hedges as a local and sustainable source of woodfuel. Machinery and methods were tested at different scales and the impacts on the local environment assessed. Building on work in South West England and Northern France the trials demonstrated that that hedges can be managed effectively and economically to produce woodfuel of reasonable quality which meets industry standards.

\n With around 700,000 km, hedges are the most widespread semi-natural habitat in lowland Britain. As well as being an important landscape feature in their own right, hedges fulfil many functions and are increasingly recognised for their importance in regulating environmental processes. However, the 2007 Countryside Survey found that just 68% of Britain's hedges are managed. Recent research has sought to address this by investigating the economic potential of using biomass from hedgerow management for local energy or heat production. This work has brought farm hedges back into focus and sought to answer questions about whether biomass can be sustainably and economically harvested from hedgerows, and as such, whether hedges can be a viable source of woodfuel? Here we outline the results of trials carried out in Southern England to assess the efficiency, cost and viability of coppicing hedges as a local and sustainable source of woodfuel. Machinery and methods were tested at different scales and the impacts on the local environment assessed. Building on work in South West England and Northern France the trials demonstrated that that hedges can be managed effectively and economically to produce woodfuel of reasonable quality which meets industry standards. However, the introduction of coppice management of hedges for woodfuel is likely to have both positive and negative impacts on the wildlife of individual hedges and on biodiversity at a landscape scale. To address this, alongside the trials a protocol was developed to assess the likely impacts on biodiversity of managing hedgerows for woodfuel. The biodiversity protocol enables landowners to carry out an assessment of their resource prior to carrying out any management, it identifies hedges suitable for harvesting woodfuel and those of potentially high biodiversity value as well as those in need of improvement and offers general management recommendations based on different indicators.\n

Despite this development, a limited number of empirical studies have been undertaken to estimate the economic value of this ecosystem service. New Zealand's planted forests provide habitat to at least 118 threatened species. These forests can be managed to increase the abundance of many of these species. We present findings from survey data obtained in a discrete choice experiment designed to estimate the non-market values for a proposed biodiversity enhancement programme in New Zealand's planted forests.

\n Planted forests are increasingly recognised for the provision of habitats for species threatened with extinction. Despite this development, a limited number of empirical studies have been undertaken to estimate the economic value of this ecosystem service. New Zealand's planted forests provide habitat to at least 118 threatened species. These forests can be managed to increase the abundance of many of these species. We present findings from survey data obtained in a discrete choice experiment designed to estimate the non-market values for a proposed biodiversity enhancement programme in New Zealand's planted forests. We used a two-stage modelling process. First we estimated the individual specific willingness to pay values and then we explored their socio-economic and spatial determinants. The first stage modelling process, which used a random parameters logit model with error components, suggested that willingness to pay was higher for increasing the abundance of native bird than for non-bird species. The second stage model used a least squares panel random-effects regression.

Endogeic worm species do not show the D. octaedra seasonal pattern as obviously, probably because these species are able to move more freely through the soil and because they are able to aestivate. These changes are likely to be due to a combination of human movement of earthworms (e.g. D. attemsi) and variations in local climate. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.\n
