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 article, a literature overview is presented on the use of laser rangefinder techniques for the retrieval of forest inventory parameters and structural characteristics and recommendations for future research and potential gains in the application of LiDAR for the characterization of forests.

TL;DR: This paper examined farmers' attitudes towards tree planting on farms in Malawi, using the theory of planned behaviour as a conceptual framework, and found that farmers who reported planting trees in the last five years had more positive attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control compared to farmers who have not planted trees.

TL;DR: Interestingly, depending on the forest region, it is found that biodiversity can react in both ways, positively and negatively, to increased management intensity, and it may be in tradeoff or in synergy with wood production and forest resource maintenance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a range of age-dependant expansion factors (BEFs) from representative data that more accurately describe the allometry of present forests to improve the accuracy of biomass estimation and showed that the allocation of biomass to compartments in forest stands and throughout a rotation varies considerably, and that the use of BEFs for the calculation of carbon stocks in forests of sub-timber dimensions is highly impractical.
