TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analytical framework that combines both extrinsic and intrinsic factors in farmers' decisions to adopt new agricultural technologies and apply the framework to agroforestry adoption as a case study.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent literature regarding BEMs is presented, focusing on the most common mistakes and pitfalls encountered in the literature, including the arbitrary choice of analytical methods, model dredging and inadequate model diagnosis, ignoring collinearity, uncritical use of model selection criteria and uninformative reporting of results.

TL;DR: Generic equations were developed that include species-specific wood density instead of species identity that can be used in a wide range of stands and to quantify the effects of climate, age and stand structure on biomass or leaf area.

TL;DR: In this article, a regional tree domestication programme was proposed for the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) in which the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) initiated research-and-development work on more than 20 priority indigenous fruit trees in five SADC countries aimed at improving income in rural communities.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the global maize yield response to legumes is significantly positive and higher than unfertilized maize and natural vegetation fallows, indicating that legume rotations may play an important role in reducing fertilizer requirements.
