本レビューは、アグロフォレストリー（農地への樹木統合）の炭素隔離メカニズムとその気候変動緩和ポテンシャルを総合的に評価する。バイオマスと土壌への炭素貯留、測定・モニタリング手法の進展、炭素市場や国家決定貢献（NDC）への統合の課題を議論。地域・システム依存性が高く、持続可能性と公平性の確保が重要と結論づける。
English
This review synthesizes knowledge on carbon sequestration in agroforestry, covering biophysical mechanisms, carbon stocks, and sequestration rates across systems and regions. It discusses measurement, monitoring, and modeling advances, and integration into climate policy and carbon markets, highlighting context-dependence, co-benefits, and risks such as leakage and equity.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では農林業のGX（グリーン変革）が注目される中、アグロフォレストリーはまだ普及途上。本レビューは、日本の農地での炭素貯留ポテンシャル評価や、J-クレジット制度への応用可能性を示唆するが、直接的な政策連動は限定的。
In the global GX context
Globally, agroforestry is recognized as a natural climate solution with potential for carbon markets and NDCs. This review provides a comprehensive framework for integrating agroforestry into climate accounting and policy, relevant for ISSB and TCFD-aligned disclosure of land-based carbon removals.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Agroforestry—deliberate integration of trees with crops and/or livestock on the same land—is increasingly promoted as a natural climate solution because it can store substantial amounts of carbon in biomass and soils while sustaining rural livelihoods. Recent meta-analyses and global assessments indicate that agroforestry systems generally hold higher soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks than adjacent croplands or pastures and that trees on agricultural land already represent a large, but under-recognised, component of national and global carbon budgets. Yet, the magnitude, permanence, and scalability of this mitigation potential are strongly context-dependent and shaped by system design, management, and socio-political conditions. This review synthesises current knowledge on biophysical mechanisms of carbon sequestration in agroforestry, including above- and belowground biomass accrual, SOC formation and stabilisation, and landscape- and microclimate-mediated processes. It then examines quantitative estimates of carbon stocks and sequestration rates across major agroforestry systems and climatic regions, highlighting key uncertainties and trade-offs. Advances and remaining gaps in the measurement, monitoring and modelling of agroforestry carbon are discussed in the light of evolving climate policy, carbon markets, and “natural climate solutions” frameworks. The review also considers co-benefits for livelihoods, biodiversity and adaptation, as well as risks related to leakage, permanence, equity and land tenure. Finally, it outlines priority research and policy directions to better integrate agroforestry into nationally determined contributions and high-integrity carbon markets while safeguarding social and ecological outcomes.
