Ecosystem services and profitability of agroforestry practices

This Deliverable (which forms part of work-package 7 within the AGFORWARD project) will describe six pilot studies examining the ecosystem services and profitability of agroforestry practices. As of February 2018, five of the studies have been published as peer-reviewed scientific papers. The attached version of the report contains these five papers. The plan is that the remaining paper will be added once it has been peer-reviewed.
