In the design of Agroforestry Systems (AFS), each species plays a specific technical role. Ferns in the lower strata are not merely aesthetic elements but critical microclimate regulators that help maintain the stability of shade-grown crops.
Their ability to retain moisture and reduce the soil temperatures by 2°C and 4°C optimizes water use and protects the roots of primary crops during periods of water stress. Moreover, their presence serves as an bioindicator of environmental quality and soil health in our projects.
🌱At Sembrando Peru, we apply environmental engineering principles to develop resilient production systems, where biodiversity forms the foundation of technical excellence in agriculture.
