Agroforestry is one area of research which has gained significant momentum in recent years. Advances in temperate agroforestry reviews key recent advances in measuring and valuing how agroforestry systems promote biodiversity and deliver ecosystem services such as soil carbon sequestration. The book also considers the development of different silvopastoral and silvoarable practices, including integrating trees and livestock in timber forests, orchard and pasture systems, as well as alley cropping and intercropping. 09 23 2025 09 23 2025 9781801467193 Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Limited 10.19103/AS.2024.0141 https://shop.bdspublishing.com/store/bds/detail/workgroup/3-190-147721 CSIRO Environment, Australia Anthony P.

England CSIRO Environment, Australia Shaun T. Brooks University of Tasmania, Australia Thomas P. Baker University of Tasmania, Australia In chapter the authors explore the opportunity that natural capital accounting provides to address this challenge. Natural capital accounting recognises agroforestry systems as assets and provides a pathway to the quantification and valuation of the benefits associated with agroforestry. This chapter demonstrates the application of natural capital accounting to the quantification and valuation of the ecosystem services associated with agroforestry systems of temperate agricultural enterprises. The authors show how existing accounting practices can be extended to include the farms natural capital, enabling a better understanding the of the contributions of nature to the farms production system. 3 09 23 2025 09 23 2025 71 100 10.19103/AS.2024.0141.07 https://www.bdspublishing.com/webshop/chapters/crops/regenerative-techniques/agroforestry/ecosystem-accounting-to-value-ecosystem-assets-and-services-provided-by-agroforestry/ https://link.springer.com/10.19103/AS.2024.0141.07
