Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Paulownia sequesters 33-60 tonnes CO2/ha/year, 8-13 times the European forest average.
- Association Agroforestry systems enhance overall biodiversity by 23%.
- Association Agroforestry systems enhance pollination by 36%.
- Association Agroforestry systems enhance biological pest control by 65.5%.
- Intervention effect Net economic returns of Paulownia-based intercropping are EUR 5,000-24,900/ha/year, against EUR 200-600/ha for wheat monoculture.
- Recommendation Paulownia-morel mushroom intercropping is a high-priority research gap with significant economic potential.
