Intercroppingenhancesagroecosystemservicesandfunctioning:Current knowledgeandperspectives*
摘要
Abstract
IntercroppingisoneofthetraditionalfarmingsystemspracticedbyfarmersinChinaformorethan2000yearswith some intriguing ecological principles. Previous studies have shown that intercropping enhanced not only cropproductivity,butalsotheutilizationefficienciesofresources,includingabove-ground(e.g.,land,thermal,radiationandspace)andbelow-ground(e.g.,waterandnutrients)resources.Recenteffortshavemadesomeprogressesonintercroppingresearch.Here, we reviewed the potential of intercropping to strength ecosystem services and functions at the agroecosystem level,prospective research directions and highlight practical uses in modern agriculture. Intercropping increased biodiversity,productivity and stability of agroecosystems. At the same time, intercropping enhanced water use by isolating the time formaximum water requirements of one species from the other, and spatial complementarity by hydraulic lift of water.
