Agroforestry systems do not belong to a common agricultural practice in the Czech Republic. These approaches are, however, seen as potentially beneficial in terms of sustainable use of landscape resources. At experimental submontane site with woody-species strips and extensivelymanaged meadow intercropping, production characteristics of hay harvested from the meadows and impacts of the strips on microclimate were studied. Microclimatic conditions were monitored using a set of meteorological stations. The site characteristics such as soil moisture and temperature, air temperature and precipitation were measured in transect C. The meadows were experimentally cut twice a year (June 1st cut, September 2nd cut), and herbal species were determined in the sampling points of transects. Impacts of the woody-species strips on the crop properties such as water content and its dry weight were found. The strips affected the soil temperature and the moisture compared to the openarea conditions and the strips also reduced precipitation. Moreover, reduced numbers of herbal species were found in the vicinity of the strips.
