Agroforestry has high potential for carbon sequestration

A recent study co-authored by Dr. André Große-Stoltenberg und Prof. Dr. Till Kleinebecker shows that small woody features (SWFs) sequester more than 100 Tg of carbon in Germany. An increase of  woody landscape structures through establishment of agroforestry systems especially in structurally poor agrarian landscapes could store an extra of 0.2 - 2 Tg per year. The study was published in the open access journal Land:  https://www.doi.org/10.3390/land10101028
