Abstract

Agroforestry systems have been gaining increasing global attention due to their numerous benefits both for environment and landowners. While Romania possesses significant potential for widespread adoption of these systems, only a few examples are currently in practice. The goal of this research was to highlight the most suitable woody species that could be introduced in the composition of the agroforestry systems across sandy soils of Dolj County. In order to determine the most preferred woody species a set of eight criteria was used and an Analytical Hierarchy Process was conducted by using Expert Choice Desktop (v. 11.5.1683) software. This research can serve as a model for similar studied aimed at selecting optimal agroforestry systems for specific sites. Future research should also incorporate criteria that consider the functional relationships of these green spaces with neighbouring areas.
