description The objective of this work was to establish methodological trends in research on agroforestry systems (AFS), identifying dimensions, approaches, designs, and environmental variables that are implemented in their development. A systematic literature review of worldwide studies published between 2000 and 2020 was carried out. Citation frequency was applied to estimate which dimensions, approaches, designs, and environmental variables were mainly used in the studies. Chi-square analysis identified the significant association between designs, dimensions, and environmental variables; and a non-hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to establish the distribution of research regarding geographical areas, dimensions, and designs.  Four research dimensions were detected: ecological, social, economic, and systemic. The approaches with the highest citation in the studies were: land use (0.823), forest management (0.784), community development (0.667), biodiversity conservation (0.604), rural development (0.585), and climate change (0.680). Agroforestry designs were grouped into sequential (70.0%) and simultaneous (90.0%); and the environmental variables: edaphological (84.0%), biotic (70.0%), and socioeconomic (60.0%) were the most cited in research. The cluster analysis determined that the systemic dimension was developed in Africa (50.0%), Asia (26.92%) and Europe (23.07%); the ecological in America (50.0%) and Asia (30.01%); the social in Africa (33.3%); and the economic in Asia (10.2%). In conclusion, the systemic dimension predominated in the review, highlighting the sustainable character of AFS. In addition, the approaches, designs, and variables with the highest number of citations respond to the productive needs of communities and the ecological characteristics of the ecosystems where these technologies are managed.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue establecer las tendencias metodológicas en investigaciones sobre sistemas agroforestales (SAF), identificando dimensiones, enfoques, diseños y variables ambientales que se implementan en su desarrollo. Se empleo la revisión sistemática de literatura de estudios mundiales publicados entre el 2000 y 2020. Mediante frecuencia de citación, se estimó qué dimensiones, enfoques, diseños y variables ambientales se emplearon principalmente en los estudios. El análisis Chi-cuadrado identificó la asociación significativa entre diseños, dimensiones y variables ambientales; y se aplicó un análisis clúster no jerárquico para establecer la distribución de investigaciones con respecto a zonas geográficas, dimensiones y diseños. Se detectaron cuatro dimensiones de investigación: ecológica, social, económica y sistémica. Los enfoques con mayor citación en los estudios fueron: uso del suelo (0.823), manejo del Bosque (0.784), desarrollo comunitario (0.667), conservación de la biodiversidad (0.604), desarrollo rural (0.585) y cambio climático (0.680). Los diseños agroforestales se agruparon en secuenciales (70.0%) y simultáneos (90.0%) y las variables ambiéntales: edafológicas (84,0%), bióticas (70,0%) y socioeconómicas (60,0%) fueron mayormente citadas en las investigaciones. El análisis clúster determino que la dimensión sistémica se desarrolló en África (50.0%), Asia (26.92%) y Europa (23.07%), y la ecológica en América (50.0%) y Asia (30.01%); la social en África (33.3%) y la económica en Asia (10,2%). En conclusión, la dimensión sistémica predominó en la revisión resaltando el carácter sustentable de los SAF. Además, los enfoques, diseños y variables con mayor citación responden a las necesidades productivas de las comunidades y a las características ecológicas de los ecosistemas donde se gestionan estas tecnologías.
