本レビューは、アグロフォレストリーが生物多様性と気候変動の緩和・適応に与える効果を統合的に分析した初の包括的レビューである。258件の研究を対象にした結果、研究は土壌生物と植物に偏り、脊椎動物や長期的な研究が不足していることが明らかになった。また、緩和に関する研究は土壌炭素に集中し、適応研究は土壌養分に焦点が当てられている。知見はインタラクティブデータベースとして提供され、ステークホルダーが文脈に応じて活用できる。
English
This review comprehensively examines the evidence on agroforestry's impact on both biodiversity and climate change mitigation and adaptation, filling a gap in the literature. Analyzing 258 studies, it finds a strong focus on soil biota and plants, with few studies on vertebrates or long-term dynamics. Mitigation studies center on soil carbon, while adaptation studies emphasize soil nutrients. The findings are presented as an interactive database for stakeholders to explore by outcome and context.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の農業は主に温帯地域で行われており、熱帯・亜熱帯のアグロフォレストリーが中心の本レビューの知見は直接適用しにくい。しかし、日本の環境保全型農業や農地の炭素貯留施策において、生物多様性と気候変動対策のシナジーを評価する視点は参考になる。
In the global GX context
This review is particularly relevant for global climate and biodiversity policy, especially in the context of REDD+ and UNFCCC's Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture. It highlights critical gaps in evidence for low- and middle-income countries where agroforestry is promoted as a nature-based solution. The interactive database offers a practical tool for researchers and practitioners to identify synergies between biodiversity and climate outcomes.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in agroforestry, land-use, and climate mitigation can use this review to identify key research gaps, such as the need for long-term studies and inclusion of vertebrates.
🏢実務担当者:Practitioners (e.g., NGOs, agricultural extension services) can leverage the interactive database to design projects that maximize co-benefits for biodiversity and climate in specific contexts.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in developing countries and international bodies can use the evidence to inform agroforestry-related climate and biodiversity strategies, but must account for geographic biases.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Agroforestry has been promoted as one solution to make agriculture more ecologically sustainable. While research has examined its effects on biodiversity and on climate change mitigation and adaptation separately, comprehensive reviews linking these outcomes remain lacking. This review fills that gap. We searched six academic databases in June 2025, retrieving 12,175 unique records. Screening against pre-defined criteria yielded 258 studies reporting at least one biodiversity and one climate outcome. Findings reveal a strong concentration of studies on soil biota and plants in agrosilviculture systems with short-term, observational designs. When biodiversity is studied alongside climate change adaptation, outcomes cluster around soil nutrients and chemical properties, with very few studies addressing ecosystem process, such as nutrient cycling and ecosystem regulation. Studies on biodiversity and mitigation are centred around soil carbon. Overall, fruit trees are more common than timber trees, though, continental differences in system characteristics exist. There is a significant knowledge gap for studies on vertebrates and long-term studies. Further, the evidence comes from a few countries leaving significant geographical gaps. The review underlines how current research falls short on capturing the complexity and ecological resilience of agroforestry systems. Cross-taxa, system-level perspectives offer valuable insights into the synergies between biodiversity and climate mitigation and can help to identify win-win situations for managing production landscapes. We provide the findings as an interactive database enabling stakeholders to explore the evidence by outcome and context, and discuss how to improve the global relevance of agroforestry research and help avoid overly narrow development pathways.
