• DOMESTICATING INDIGENOUS FRUIT TREES AS A CONTRIBUTION TO POVERTY REDUCTION (2006, background): “…trees is significantly higher from village trees than protected area trees, and the fresh mass of individual fruits and mean kernel mass are also greater - suggesting some degree of historical selection of the trees in the homesteads and fields (Shackleton et al. 2003, Leakey et al. 2005a/b).”
• Agricultural sustainability: concepts, principles and evidence (2008, background): “(iv) Agroforestry, which incorporates multifunctional trees into agricultural systems and collective management of nearby forest resources (Leakey et al. 2005).”
• The management of tree genetic resources and the livelihoods of rural communities in the tropics: non-timber forest products, smallholder agroforestry practices and tree commodity crops (2014, methodology): “, with local communities’ experiences to bring a range of valuable indigenous trees into cultivation (Leakey et al., 2005).”
• Managing genetic variation in tropical trees: linking knowledge with action in agroforestry ecosystems for improved conservation and enhanced livelihoods (2009, background): “…when high genetic diversity is still available in the local landscapes that farmers occupy, e.g., when agricultural land borders still wild or relatively unmanaged forest habitat, as occurs in the humid tropics of West Africa and the Amazon (Weber et al. 2001; Leakey et al. 2003, 2005, 2007).”
• Commercialisation of non-timber forest products: A reality check (2007, unknown): “We include discussion of the way in which commercialisation may shift production from the wild to a domesticated (actively cultivated) source on farm, but do not attempt a detailed examination of the process of domestication (for a recent review see Leakey et al., 2005).”
