Understanding the carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry systems in central Alberta
Shelterbelts, hedgerows and grazed woodlands are an important part of the agricultural landscape in central Alberta. These agroforestry systems provide wildlife habitat, serve as windbreaks, retain snow and water and reduce soil erosion. The trees also capture and store carbon from the atmosphere, which helps to offset greenhouse gas emissions and mitigates impacts of tillage on soil health and productivity.
