Abstract: In this paper, the research progress in agroforestry systems was summarized. The concept of agroforestry and its background, the process of development and the main research fields of agroforestry were introduced. The review was based on such aspects as the structure and classification, microclimate, benefit evaluation and so on. The microclimate was emphasized on water, temperature, radialization, solar radiation and comfortableness, and the interaction among the partitions was introduced .Then the existing problems in agroforestry development were pointed out such as the shortness of types, the fact that the theory research cannot keep up with the production, etc. The development prospects and advices were finally brought forward.
