Reviews
"""This compilation of research from the KBS LTER site is significant and could be utilized to inform policy makers and the agricultural industry as well as direct USDA funding. Continuing this research would certainly further advance the understanding of the wide-ranging impacts that arise from agriculture and because agricultural lands comprise over 40% of the Earth's land (Owen 2005), the influence could be considerable."" - Ecology Restoration Journal ""[O]f value to anyone who wants up-to-date information on CA and research."" - Conservation Biology"
