Tree diversity in cacao agroforests in San Alejandro, Peruvian Amazon

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Cacao (Theobroma cacao) cultivation that maintains a high proportion of shade trees in a diverse structure (agroforestry) is being viewed as a sustainable landuse practice. Our research hypothesis was that cacao agroforestrys can support relatively hightree diversity compared to surrounding primary and/or secondary forests. The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of forest conversion on tree communities by comparing tree species richness, diversity and composition between primary and secondary forests, and cacao agroforestrs. In total, we collected data in 30 25- x 25-m plots on three landuse systems (20 in cacao agroforests , five in secondary, and five in primary forest) in San Alejandro, Peruvian Amazon. All trees were identified to species, and their height and DBH recorded. Our results support the hypothesis that cacao agroforests present a relatively high tree species richness and diversity, although they are no substitutes for natural habitats. We found higher tre
