Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation The ShadeTreeAdvice method was efficient for evaluating tree species impacts on soil and climate regulation, crop production and economic benefits.
- Observation The ShadeTreeAdvice method allowed investigation of links between local ecological knowledge and socio-economic groups or environmental factors.
- Observation Tree species use was similar across different study areas, notably for leguminous and fruit tree species.
- Recommendation The authors suggest a series of improvements to the ShadeTreeAdvice methodology for future studies.
