Abstract

To mitigate the damages caused by climate change, various approaches have been implemented.Among these approaches we find conservation agriculture and carbon farming, which are based on combining arboricultural, forest, or semi-forest tree species with low-growing annual crops and/or livestock.These systems, referred to as agroforestry systems, are generally centered on olive trees, which represent a dominant crop in Tunisia.However, the wide distribution of several categories of agroforestry systems based on semi-forest tree species remains poorly documented.Therefore, through this study, we aim to classify the different agroforestry systems present in Tunisia.
