• Plant conservation: old problems, new perspectives (2003, background): “Protocols for ecogeographical surveying and sampling strategies and the technology of seed storage are now quite well established and were primarily developed for crop genetic resources (Hawkes et al., 2000; but see Gómez-Campo, 2000).”
• Challenges and Prospects for the Conservation of Crop Genetic Resources in Field Genebanks, in In Vitro Collections and/or in Liquid Nitrogen (2020, background): “To preserve clonal material, 23 field genebanks of nine major crops were established worldwide [12].”
• Medicinal plants, conservation and livelihoods (2004, background): “The term circa situ conservation has been used for a range of practices commonly associated especially with more traditional (and biodiversity-rich) agricultural systems (Hawkes et al. 2001).”
• Farmers' preferences for crop variety traits: Lessons for on-farm conservation and technology adoption (2010, background): “Ethiopia holds ex-situ 4% of the world's sorghum genetic stock (FAO, 1998 and Hawkes et al., 2000).”
• Towards a methodology for on-farm conservation of plant genetic resources (2004, background): “Sustainability is fundamental to any form of conservation (Maxted et al. 1997a; Hawkes et al. 2000).”
• Ex Situ and In Situ Conservation of Agricultural Biodiversity: Major Advances and Research Needs (2010, background): “But field genebanks present real logistical challenges; they require large areas and are costly, they are vulnerable to pests and diseases, natural disasters, political unrest, extreme weather, fire, vandalism and theft, and often are at risk due to policy changes on land use (Dulloo et al., 2001; H”
• Managing biological and genetic diversity in tropical agroforestry (2004, background): “Each of the different conservation approaches has its own advantages and disadvantages and should not be viewed as options but rather should be practiced as complementary approaches to conservation (Maxted et al. 1997; Hawkes et al. 2000).”
