Intervention effect Paulownia intercropping reached Land Equivalent Ratios of 1.1-1.5, indicating 10-50% greater land-use efficiency than monocultures.
Intervention effect Agroforestry systems enhanced overall biodiversity by 23%.
Intervention effect Agroforestry systems enhanced pollination by 36%.
Observation Paulownia sequesters 33-60 tonnes CO2/ha/year, 8-13 times the European forest average.
Intervention effect Paulownia-based intercropping gave net economic returns of EUR 5,000-24,900/ha/year, versus EUR 200-600/ha for wheat monoculture.
Recommendation The review identifies Paulownia-morel mushroom intercropping as a high-priority research gap with significant economic potential.
