TY - JOUR ID - 56479 TI - Climate diversity in line with agroforestry systems: studying technicalities of agroforestry systems and allied components in two diverse climatic regions (Warm climate vs. cold climate) (Case study: Kazeroun & Sepidan in Fars Province, I.R.Iran) JO - Desert JA - JDESERT LA - en SN - 2008-0875 AU - Goudarzian, Pardis AU - Yazdani, Mohammad Reza AD - Faculty of Desert Studies, Semnan University, Semnan, Iran Y1 - 2015 PY - 2015 VL - 20 IS - 2 SP - 157 EP - 166 KW - Agroforestry systems KW - Agrosilviculture KW - Agrosilvopasture KW - Climate KW - Component DO - 10.22059/jdesert.2015.56479 N2 - There has been some decline in the land potential capacity in many developing countries, and depending on location,the multi objective management strategy of Agroforestry can make effective use of natural resources to be feasible.Environmental principles which are effective on Agroforestry systems and their components, together with climaticfactors, are the important parameters which been evaluated in this study. Two cities, Kazeroun (with warm climate) andSepidan (with cold climate) in Fars province, were chosen for the purpose of this research, and after proper identificationand classification of the Agroforestry systems, the effects of climatic factors were analyzed. Nineteen points wereidentified in these two cities by field investigations, with each type of Agroforestry systems and their correspondingcomponents determined in each point. From the results, most of the systems in Kazeroun, characterized with warmclimate, were Agrosilvopastoral, while Sepidan with a characteristic cold climate was the Agrosilvicultural system. Also,the components of each system clearly changed with change in climate, owing to the great importance of the livestock andcrop components in Kazeroun and Sepidan, respectively. In general, it can be concluded that the impact of climatic factorson Agroforestry systems and their components has been approved in this study, and the results can be applied indeveloping these systems in other regions.
