The selection of suitable tree species for high biomass and bioenergy production in salt-affected soils depends upon the tolerance of the species to salinity and sodicity, suitability to local agro-climate and purpose of plantation. Agroforestry systems may provide part of the answer to a challenge for sustainability on how to conserve forest ecosystems and farmland biodiversity as well as the services
that they provide while simultaneously enhancing food production for an increasing population under the salt stress environment.Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of a large number of tree species in saline and sodic conditions in India. This paper presented the contribution of agroforestry systems as a potential option for (1) restoring of salt-affected soils, (2) mitigating climate change, (3) enhancing the fertility status of soil, (4) producing biomass and bioenergy and (5) providing social and economic well-being of the people.
