Description
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 377 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
Combining trees with crops or livestock on the same land has the potential to mitigate climate change. As a resilient agricultural practice, agroforestry (AF) can sequester carbon, preserve biodiversity and contribute to food security by diversifying agricultural production. The EU-funded DIGITAF project will promote AF systems. Specifically, it will co-develop digital tools tailored to the needs and concerns of AF target groups, including policy actors, practitioners and actors involved in the AF value chain. The project will implement six Living Labs in different countries to ensure an end-user-centred multi-actor approach. Bringing together 25 partners from 20 countries, DIGITAF will cover the entire AF value chain. It will contribute to farm sustainability, climate change mitigation, biodiversity preservation and soil conservation.

| Design Description | Work package 3: Task 3.3: Co-develop, apply and verify a tool to quantify the biodiversity impact of agroforestry The goal of WP3 Task3 is twofold: - Quantifying biodiversity returns through agroforestry implementation with a digital tool for stakeholders - Assembling biodiversity data to validate and incorporate in this tool Why this research particularly? Research is lacking on the biodiversity effects of agroforestry systems in temperate Europe, especially in relation to the surrounding landscape context. We try to fill this gap at least partially. How? 27 cereal fields were selected along a gradient of landscape complexity throughout Flanders, each bordered with a hedgerow (tree row). We used the proxy of a tree row for agroforestry since mature agroforestry fields are rare. |
