Benefit number four stems from the fact that unlike most crops, trees will be on the land for multiple years. Where normally surface litter and crop residue are removed, which results in soil erosion and increasing the chances of water runoff, now trees still cover the surface, reducing these effects \cite{Mbow_2014a}.   \textit{\textbf{[Insecticide]}} \textit{\textbf{[Insert Insecticide]}}  The final effect from agroforestry is that it reduces the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Since trees sequester carbon, the overall carbon concentration will be reduced. Trees will use and store carbon for their entire lifetime, keeping it out of the cycle longer than regular crops. If agro forestry is applied on a large scale, the storing of carbon will contribute to reducing climate change. This way the adaptation measure will contribute to a decrease in the reason for adaptation \cite{Mbow_2014a}.
