  1. For an approximate comparison of countries/states and regions of different acreage, the table shows the area and the total number of field surveys of each country or region. This allows an appreciation of the importance that the involved institutes, i.e. the affiliation (numbers in italics), assume in research at country and regional level. The table shows all regions with nine and more publications per region (= median of all publications). If an ARI is involved in the publication, it is noted as such even if the main author is affiliated to another institute; otherwise, the main author’s affiliation is noted. Total of regional studies: Europe = 115, Canada = 46, USA = 44
  2. ARI Agronomic research institute, UNI university, ENV environmental organisation (governmental or non-governmental), COR corporations (eco-offices, trusts, private companies)
