Note de contenu :	Agroforestry -- the practice of integrating trees and other large woody perennials on farms and throughout the agricultural landscape -- is increasingly recognized as a useful and promising strategy that diversifies production for greater social, economic, and environmental benefits. Agroforestry and Biodiversity Conservation in Tropical Landscapes brings together 46 scientists and practitioners from 13 countries with decades of field experience in tropical regions to explore how agroforestry practices can help promote biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes, to synthesize the current state of knowledge in the field, and to identify areas where further research is needed. Agroforestry and Biodiversity Conservation in Tropical Landscapes is the first comprehensive synthesis of the role of agroforestry systems in conserving biodiversity in tropical landscapes, and contains in-depth review chapters of most agroforestry systems, with examples from many different countries. It is a valuable source of information for scientists, researchers, professors, and students in the fields of conservation biology, resource management, tropical ecology, rural development, agroforestry, and agroecology. Part I Conservation biology and landscape ecology in the tropics: a framework for agroforestry applications Part II The ecological economics of agroforestry : environmental benefits and effects on deforestation Part III The biodiversity of agroforestry systems: habitat, biological corridor and buffer for protected areas Part IV Biodiversité as burden and natural capital: interactions between agroforestry areas, natural ecosystems and rural communities in tropical land use mosaics Part V Matrix management in practice: agroforestry tools in landscape conservation
