- Maintenance of the soil's nutrients
- Increased biodiversity
Explanation: Alley cropping (agroforestry) uses trees/shrubs with crops in between, which helps maintain/improve soil fertility (often via nitrogen-fixing species) and supports more species diversity than simple monocultures. It typically reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and increases, not decreases, carbon storage, and benefits are not usually immediate.
