This type of agriculture also was found to be sustainable, as the studied area had been cultivated continuously for the past two millennia. <\/p>\n<p>Scientists attribute the success of the arecanut palm crop in preserving avian biodiversity to two factors. First, the crop is able to leave a &ldquo;high vertical structural complexity&rdquo; of the forest intact, which provides varied habitats for many bird species. Second, growing these crops near a rainforest allows farmers to utilise the natural abundance of water and leaf mulch without consuming additional resources.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn addition to the arecanut palm, researchers think their findings also may be important for the shade-grown coffee produced in Central and South America. Shade-grown coffee is similar to the arecanut palm in that it also retains biodiversity because of the preservation of the vertical forest system.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSee <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2008\/1104-hance_arecanut.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full story<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study of bird biodiversity in India offers hope that rainforest agriculture can coexist with conserving forest species.
