Titolo banca dati: Current silvoarable systems in Europe

Descrizione:

The database of current silvoarable systems in Europe is included as a deliverable of WP2, European silvoarable knowledge. The aim is to document the most common systems present in Europe, both traditional and innovative. The database comprises the data obtained through an inventory of silvoarable systems conducted in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom and British Islands (to be soon included). The inventory was carried out using a common sheet agreed by the project partners. The database includes sixty-three different systems that have been defined and grouped according to the main tree species and the associated crop categories (cereals, industrial crops, legumes both for fodder and food, vegetables, natural grass including grazing practice, fruit trees and shrubs). Each system has been described in reason of its general aspects (location, ownerships, purposes), physical characteristics (covered area, altitude, slope, rainfall, bedrock and soil type), tree components (main and other species, space arrangement and tree density, average height and diameter, age, origin, main and secondary products), crop components (main and other species, cultivation duration, water availability and annual yield) and management practices adopted by the farmers (tillage, fertilisation, pruning, weed control, grazing and fallow period). At present the database contains a total of 111 inventoried plots
