In parts of Southeast Asia, conversion of natural forest to cacao agroforestry systems is an important driver of deforestation, resulting in C losses from biomass and soil to the atmosphere. This case study from Sulawesi, Indonesia, compares natural forest with nearby shaded cacao agroforests for all major above and belowground biomass C pools (n = 6 plots) and net primary production (n = 3 plots). Total biomass (above- and belowground to 250 cm soil depth) in the forest (approx. 150 Mg C ha−1) was more than eight times higher than in the agroforest (19 Mg C ha−1). Total net primary production (NPP, above- and belowground) was larger in the forest than in the agroforest (approx. 29 vs. 20 Mg dry matter (DM) ha−1 year−1), while wood increment was twice as high in the forest (approx. 6 vs. 3 Mg DM ha−1 year−1). The SOC pools to 250 cm depth amounted to 134 and 78 Mg C ha−1 in the forest and agroforest stands, respectively. Replacement of tropical moist forest by cacao agroforest reduces the biomass C pool by approximately 130 Mg C ha−1; another 50 Mg C ha−1 may be released from the soil. Further, the replacement of forest by cacao agroforest also results in a 70–80 % decrease of the annual C sequestration potential due to a significantly smaller stem increment."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10457-013-9628-7"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/65035"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1572-9680"],["dc.relation.issn","0167-4366"],["dc.title","Conversion of tropical moist forest into cacao agroforest: consequences for carbon pools and annual C sequestration"],["dc.title.subtitle","consequences for carbon pools and annual C sequestration"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we use a replicated throughfall reduction experiment to study the drought response of a cacao/Gliricidia stand over a 13-month period. Soil water content was successfully reduced down to a soil depth of at least 2.5 m. Contrary to our expectations we measured only relatively small nonsignificant changes in cacao (−11%) and Gliricidia (−12%) sap flux densities, cacao leaf litterfall (+8%), Gliricidia leaf litterfall (−2%), soil carbon dioxide efflux (−14%), and cacao yield (−10%) during roof closure. However, cacao bean yield in roof plots was substantially lower (−45%) compared with control plots during the main harvest following the period when soil water content was lowest. This indicates that cacao bean yield was more sensitive to drought than other ecosystem functions. We found evidence in this agroforest that there is complementary use of soil water resources through vertical partitioning of water uptake between cacao and Gliricidia. This, in combination with acclimation may have helped cacao trees to cope with the induced drought. Cacao agroforests may thus play an important role as a drought-tolerant land use in those (sub-) tropical regions where the frequency and severity of droughts is projected to increase."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1365-2486.2009.02034.x"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150086"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6815"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","1354-1013"],["dc.subject","cacao yield; CO2 efflux; fine root biomass; leaf litterfall; plant water uptake; sap flux; shade trees; soil water; throughfall reduction"],["dc.title","Effects of an experimental drought on the functioning of a cacao agroforestry system, Sulawesi, Indonesia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
