Shade effects on moisture relations of agroforestry systems

Although competition of shade trees for water with shaded crops has been a major argument in favor of the removal of shade trees in agroforestry systems, experimental results do not always confirm that shade trees increase water consumption and reduce soil moisture. Soil moisture was shown to be muc...
