| Abstract: |
| The contribution that agricultural and accompanying tree species in multistrata agroforestry systems have on biological, physical, and chemical soil properties has been subject to debate. This research evaluated the contribution of trees in coffee based multistrata systems to soil surface protection, soil biota, soil physical properties, runoff and erosion. Part 1 of the study quantified litter thickness, earthworm populations and soil macroporosity in response to land use change, in the Sumberjaya Sub-district, (West Lampung, Indonesia) from in 2001 to 2004. |
