title: [Primary research on interface ecology in agroforestrial ecosystems].
abstract: In this paper, the fundamental conception, major research content of interface ecology and its application in agroforestrial systems were discussed. The action mechanism between trees and crops in agroforestrial systems mainly embodied aboveground interface for competitve light, quantity of heat and water, and underground interface for competitiye nutrient and water. It was showed in the interchange and transmission of nutrient, energy and information through interface.
