Adding plant diversity is increasingly presented as a mean to improve the sustainability of agrosystems. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on how plant functional diversity alters processes that support production. Because they cover a broad range of plant diversity, agroforestry systems in the tropics are a good case study to better understand the diversity-production relation. Agroforestry systems in the Talamanca region in Costa Rica are particularly interesting because among the cultivated plants they encompass, banana and cacao are two cash crops of major importance and for which production can easily be quantified and analyzed. Another specificity of these systems is that their vertical and horizontal organization is particu...
