Nitrogen fertilization reduces yield declines following no-till adoption (2015, background): “In addition to these possible explanations, the greater prevalence of pests and diseases in tropical/subtropical regions (Gallup and Sachs, 2000) might have magnified interactions between tillage, non-N yield-limiting factors, and the rate of N fertilization.”
Global mapping of Jatropha curcas yield based on response of fitness to present and future climate (2010, background): “The Köppen climate classification, based on the observed interaction between climate and native vegetation (Köppen, 1923) is still widely used to define agronomic potentials across different climates (Gallup & Sachs, 2000).”

Countries with Rapid Population Growth and Resource Constraints: Issues of Food, Agriculture, and Development (2005, background): “Gallup and Sachs (2000) consider that countries in the tropical zones have limited potential for productively absorbing more labor in agriculture.”
Space and Growth (2004, background): “Gallup and Sachs (2000) find that agricultural productivity growth is substantially lower in the tropics, while Masters and McMillan (2001) show that growth increases sharply with the number of days of winter frost, particularly at low levels of frost.”
