Ecological intensification of agriculture — sustainable by nature
TL;DR: The authors examines conceptual differences between sustainable and ecological intensification as used in research, development, policy and the industry, particularly with respect to the balance between agriculture and nature, and compares different discourses on models of intensification that differ in the role nature plays in the actual design of the systems.

Michel Duru,Michel Duru,Olivier Therond,Olivier Therond,Guillaume Martin,Guillaume Martin,Roger Martin-Clouaire,Roger Martin-Clouaire,Marie-Angélina Magne,Eric Justes,Eric Justes,Etienne-Pascal Journet,Etienne-Pascal Journet,Etienne-Pascal Journet,Jean Noël Aubertot,Jean Noël Aubertot,Serge Savary,Serge Savary,Jacques Eric Bergez,Jacques Eric Bergez,Jean-Pierre Sarthou,Jean-Pierre Sarthou +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of agroecological and management sciences to identify two facts that explain the lack of practical applications: (1) the occurrence of high uncertainties about relations between agricultural practices, ecological processes, and ecosystem services, and (2) the site-specific character of agricultural practices required to deliver expected ecosystem services; they also show that an adaptive management approach, focusing on planning and monitoring, can serve as a framework for developing and implementing learning tools tailored for biodiversity-based agriculture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an explicit rationale and methodology for selecting data sources for simulating crop yields and estimating yield gaps at specific locations that can be applied across widely different levels of data availability and quality.

Complex networks: Structure and dynamics
TL;DR: The major concepts and results recently achieved in the study of the structure and dynamics of complex networks are reviewed, and the relevant applications of these ideas in many different disciplines are summarized, ranging from nonlinear science to biology, from statistical mechanics to medicine and engineering.

Collective Action and the Evolution of Social Norms
TL;DR: The Logic of Collective Action (LCA) as mentioned in this paper was a seminal work in modern democratic thought that challenged the assumption that groups would tend to form and take collective action in democratic societies.

Snowball Sampling—I
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present two different approaches to snowball sampling: the first is to ask a person to inform potential subjects about the research project and share the investigator's contact information, and then it is up to the potential subjects to contact the investigator.

A Behavioral Approach to the Rational Choice Theory of Collective Action: Presidential Address, American Political Science Association, 1997
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss two major empirical findings that begin to show how individuals achieve results that are better than rational by building conditions where reciprocity, reputation, and trust can help to overcome the strong temptations of short-run self-interest.
