The main crucial agroforestry systems (AFS)
of tropics Africa are homestead, woody species planting
and multistory dwelling and spread the woody plants.
The traditional AFS interaction important for shading
like Coffee, improve soil fertility, climate regulation,
alternative income source, and reducing the pressure on
natural forests. These systems' have important to
ecological health and human wellbeing. This review was
aimed at the capacity of AFS for the reduction of GHGs
from the atmosphere and climate change mitigating the
in tropical Africa. The AFS has been significantly
sequestered of CO2 and reduce GHGs sink from the
atmosphere. Several research reports were recognized as
AFS has been substantially carbon-capturing from the
atmosphere compared to the mono-crops, dry
woodlands, and/or pasture land. The Tropical Africa
region AFS has been estimated to 2.11 × 1091 Mg C yr-1
of aboveground biomass carbon. The multi-strata AFS
has the highest(16-36 Mgt ha1 yr-1
) carbon sequestration
were reported, The soil organic carbon (SOC) stock of
Fruit-coffee, coffee-enset and Enset system agroforestry
systems were estimated 186.41 Mg ha-1
, 178.8 Mg ha-1
177.8 Mg ha-1
in the at 0-60 cm depth in Tropical Africa,
respectively. According to IPCC and several research
results, nowadays AFS as part of a climate change
mitigation strategy. The important tree management of
farm land and grazing land strongly recommended as
increased GHG emission reduction capacity of AFS in
Tropics.
