Abstract: This paper briefly describes the status, issues and potential challenges facing of woodland in the agricultural landscape. Then, the critical role of woodland and trees scattered in biodiversity maintenance and multiple-use is examined. On this basis, optimize the configuration of the structure, which determine the function of they play, at both site and landscape levels is raised. We argued that by upgrading and enhancing of the woodland throughout agricultural landscape may promote the protection of biodiversity and ecosystem services enhancements. We identified key factors which determining the functions of woodland and trees scattered in agricultural landscape are type, size, shape, physical structure and tree species, as well as their practice dynamics at both field and landscape levels. Finally, aimed at ecosystem services management and project design, how to achieve the multi-purpose plantations are discussed, and some advices are given for promoting the multifunctional woodland development and avoiding becoming “green deserts”.
