N2 - Summary• SRCs have higher C sequestration potential than conventional arable land because of more biomass production and litter accumulation.• Economic benefits of SRCs depend on the final use of products, e.g. wood chips and bioenergy on the expense of food crops.• SRCs are advantageous for soil and biodiversity over arable crops, control erosion, provide habitats for wild fauna.• The main reasons of famers for not being willing to adapt SRCs plantation on agricultural land includes: committing land for a long time period, lack of appropriate machinery, lack of knowledge and awareness of profitability of SRC crops, and time to financial return.
