Resumo

This PhD analyses the current status of the two most important agroforestry practices in the Mediterranean region: silvoarable and silvopasture as well also evaluate the fertilization with urban sewage sludge as fertilizer in a silvopasture system in Galicia as sustainable land management techniques. The reduced extent of silvoarable and silvopasture practices in Europe is an opportunity that should be promoted by the CAP through supportive actions involving bioeconomy and circular economy concepts. Carbon sequestration in silvopasture depends on the input of external fertilizers to overcome the cation extractions but also depends on weather conditions, which make necessary to establish control plots to account carbon sequestration related with management in the post 2020 CAP.
