Agroforestry associating coffee and Inga densiflora results in complementarity for water uptake and decreases deep drainage in Costa Rica

▶ Good water balance simulations in coffee monoculture and coffee agroforestry systems. ▶ No water competition risk between coffee plants and shade trees. ▶ Important water drainage (1500-2100 mm, >55% of annual rainfall) below 200 cm depth. ▶ Climatic scenarios tested over the possible water competition in agroforestry system.
