Abstrakt: Agroforestry systems applicable in forestry are considered as: agricultural use in forest cultures, field protective forest belts, sowing of grass species in fast-growing energy plantations, forest farming. Good practices from Bulgaria and abroad are considered. The benefits of implementing these practices are highlighted -- ecological and economic. For example -- improvement of soil characteristics as a result of agroforestry practice, such as those in State Forest Enterprise Oryahovo, where growing poplar (Populus spp.) with agricultural crops, the soils contain C -- 1.95% and N -- 0.2%, compared to the control, which is a poplar monoculture, where C is 0.48% and N -- 0.01%. It is argued that these are good practices in forestry and should be supported by state policies in this area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
