native vegetation and crops. Risks associated with the use of exotic and poten-
tially invasive tree species in agroforestry for the biodiversity of natural habi-
tat are reviewed. The question of how wildlife can be managed sustainably in
tropical land use mosaics is also addressed.
Part V reviews practical examples of the use of agroforestry and farm
forestry in conservation strategies, including both traditional and more recent
approaches, and provides advice on selecting tree species for agroforestry pro-
grams. The section also addresses the potential of agroforestry to buffer natu-
ral ecosystems against changing climate. The book’s Conclusion synthesizes
the information presented in the volume, provides recommendations, and
identifies research needs.
