      abstract = {Agroforestry can help in the battle to control global  warming by sequestering atmospheric CO2. Most attention so  far has been on the carbon sequestered in trees, but soils  can also contain considerable amounts of carbon, some of  which is released upon harvest. There has been little  quantification of the impact of different land-uses on soil  carbon levels due to the high costs and lengthy time  periods required to accurately measure soil carbon  fluctuations, within and across sites, and over an entire  project lifespan. This study attempts to quantify soil  carbon changes under agroforestry systems using a modeling  approach. The net effects on carbon storage of implementing  agroforestry depend on the carbon content of the land-use  practices that are replaced. Also, agroforestry projects  will impact upon soil carbon levels by preventing land  clearing and by maintaining carbon already in the soils.  These issues are evaluated from the standpoint of  individual landholders, and implications for management of  agroforestry systems are discussed.},
