Models as part of agroforestry research design

Agroforestry deals with land use systems which are more complex that the usual agronomic experimental designs can cope with. A combination is needed of process-based models, simple summarizing parameters of component interactions, experiments to highlight the interactions and surveys of the real world variation in farmer developed agroforestry systems and possible components. A framework is presented for such a step-by-step approach, in which model development and experimental work go hand in hand.
