Research advances in interspecific interactions in agroforestry system
农林复合系统种间关系研究进展

The productivity and sustainability of agroforestry system depend on a large extent the interspecific interactions in the system.To understand these interactions is critical to the successful management of agroforestry system.Among the interactions,aboveground interaction includes the competition and facilitation for light,as well as the effects of microclimate change on system productivity,while belowground interaction includes the competition and facilitation for water and nutrients,the effects of nitrogen-fixing plants on system productivity and allelopathy.The studies on the comparison of interspecific interactions in different agroforestry systems under different site conditions,the spatial distribution patterns of agroforestry system component,allelopathy,as well as the models of interspecific interactions in agroforestry system should be strengthened in the future.
