Post-transplant shock is a key barrier to seedling establishment in Mediterranean-type ecosystems, especially when plant species are selected without consideration of functional traits conferring drought resistance. In this study, we investigated the responses to soil water restriction after the planting of six native...

Riverine agroforestry is a dynamic farming system along riverbanks that contributes to climate-resilient agriculture; however, trees often exert strong negative interactions with crops through light interception due to their dense, persistent canopies. This study quantified the effects of bund trees (i.e., Acacia nilot...

Epiphytic orchids face high mortality rates following reintroduction attempts, largely because habitat loss and fragmentation reduce the number of microsites and phorophytes available for their establishment. Reintroduction into agroecosystems with tree cover has emerged as a complementary conservation strategy. Howeve...

Mesquite species are widely distributed across arid and semi-arid regions and provide important ecological and socioeconomic benefits, including timber, livestock forage, fuelwood, and food for human consumption. However, mesquite woodlands are threatened by several biotic factors, including insect pests, parasitic pla...

The palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer L.), designated as the state tree of Tamil Nadu, is an under-exploited climate-resilient species possessing outstanding agroforestry value in semi-arid tropical ecosystems. The palmyra palm shows outstanding resistance to drought, salinity, cyclonic storms, high temperatures and s...

Entomological biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of agroecosystems by providing essential ecosystem services such as pollination, pest regulation, and the decomposition of organic matter. In this context, the present study assessed the diversity and structure of entomofauna in agroe...
