Seeds for livelihood: Crop biodiversity and food production in Ethiopia (2010, background): “This 4 Some evidence has been provided at more aggregate level, see Di Falco and Chavas (2008). is known as the ‘sampling effect’ or the ‘selection probability effect’ (Aarssen, 1997; Huston, 1997; Loreau, 2000; Tilman et al., 2001).”
Risk Preferences and Environmental Uncertainty: Implications for Crop Diversification Decisions in Ethiopia (2012, background): “Recent studies have also found that the effect of diversity on productivity depends on rainfall so that agrobiodiversity has a larger impact at lower precipitation levels (di Falco and Chavas 2008; di Falco et al. 2010).”
Biological Diversity in Agriculture and Global Change (2010, background): “Finally, it enables analysis of crop yield variation arising from interactions of the spatial patterning of biological diversity and climate fluctuation—particularly rainfall shocks that resemble probable global change impacts (79).”
