The volume contains ten reviews of developments in specific areas of tropical agroforestry research during the past two decades, prepared by acknowledged world leaders in the respective topics, following their presentations at a one-day symposium held in connection with the annual meetings of the tri-societies of American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America in November 1996. Each paper synthesizes the results of research, summarizes the state of knowledge in the late 1990s, identifies knowledge gaps, and outlines the directions that research should take in the years ahead. Taken together, these papers should provide insight into the accomplishments in agroforestry research so far and the current level of understanding.
