Biomass and soil carbon stocks of Rhamnus prinoides based agroforestry practice with varied density in the drylands of Northern Ethiopia
Agroforestry plays a significant role in climate change mitigation through improved sequestration and storage of carbon in farmlands. However, quantitative information on above and belowground carbon inputs in agroforestry systems practiced is limited in the drylands is limited. This study estimated...
