Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation At landscape scale, coffee agroforests had similar tree species richness to forests.
- Observation Tree community composition was significantly distinct between coffee agroforests and forests.
- Observation Coffee agroforests contained a lower proportion of conservation-concern trees than forests.
- Observation Coffee agroforests contained a higher proportion of pioneer trees.
- Observation Inga spp. dominated coffee agroforests.
- Observation Plot-level tree species diversity was lower in coffee agroforests.
- Mechanism Farmers’ manipulation of trees was identified as the main driver of compositional differences between agroforests and forests.
- Observation Coffee agroforest tree composition reflected farmer preferences rather than natural forest abundances.
- Association Management to increase Inga spp. had the largest negative impact on late-succession tree proportions.
- Association Management to increase Inga spp. had the largest negative impact on conservation-concern tree proportions.
- Association Effects of farmer tree preferences on late-succession and conservation-concern trees were significantly higher on former pasture or cropland than former forest.
