Abstract: Coffee is an important tropical crop with growing demand and intensification, combined with increasing public interest in the sustainability of production methods. Shade grown coffee, or agroforestry coffee, is often seen as an environmentally friendly alternative to monocultures. However, it encompasses a wide range of growing strategies with little known about the extent to which they differ in biodiversity impact.
