Agroforestry systems of the lowland alluvial valleys of the tehuacan-cuicatlan biosphere reserve: an evaluation of their biocultural capacity

Conclusions: Maintenance of vegetation cover did not confront markedly with the intensive agricultural practices. It is possible the expansion and enrichment of vegetation in terraces and borders of AFS. Information available on plant species and local techniques is potentially useful for a regional program of biodiversity conservation considering AFS as keystones.
