Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Species richness of trees, fungi and invertebrates did not decrease with cacao yield in smallholder agroforests in Indonesia.
- Recommendation Moderate shade, adequate labour and input level combined with a complex habitat structure can provide high biodiversity as well as high yields in cacao agroforests.
- Recommendation Agroforests can be designed to optimize both biodiversity and crop production benefits without adding pressure to convert natural habitat.
- Association Under current management in smallholder cacao in Indonesia, there is little relationship between yield and biodiversity.
