I have an article coming out July 1 on the quite impressive EARTH University in Costa Rica, and how they've transform the banana industry in that area (their bananas are sold at Whole Foods they're not organic, but they are grown in between shade trees, and they've cut way down on the use of chemicals, etc). Here's where i need your help
Anyway, so this pub (Environmental Health Perspectives ehponline.org) requires citations, and I am desperately looking for a study to reference that backs up a statement I made that traditional banana plantations are inhospitable to wildlife (or, at least, have much less wildlife than say a shade-grown plantation). I looked online, ad in Google scholar, and just can't seem to find anything but it seems obvious there MUST be such a study! Any suggestions? Wendee Wendee Nicole, M.S.
