Narrative study summarizes agroforestry's impact on carbon and biodiversity outcomes, implying potential for climate targets.

This research examines how agroforestry practices contribute to carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation.
Reviewed empirical and modeling studies related to agroforestry systems.
Analyzed carbon stocks in aboveground biomass and soils across different agroforestry practices.
Compared biodiversity levels in agroforestry systems to conventional agriculture and forests.
Agroforestry can sequester 0.3 to over 15 metric tonnes of carbon per hectare yearly in biomass.
Soils can store up to approximately 300 metric tonnes of carbon per hectare.
Biodiversity in agroforestry exceeds that of monocultures, with increased taxa diversity observed.

Withaningsih et al. (2026) studied this question.
