We then introduce several diagnostics aimed at quantifying both the level of intensification and diffusive mechanisms that lead to the intensification.
The four case studies contrasted in key systems characteristics: opportunism in decision making, i.e. flexible versus rigid crop rotations; function, i.e. production of livestock or crops; and level of intensification, i.e. dryland versus irrigated agriculture.
To examine the sensitivity of the findings to these assumptions, and to better understand the relationship between initial treatment decisions and the level of intensification administered through follow-up care, three additional clinical trials were simulated: Low-intensification case: patients not at goal were three times less likely to intensify treatment as in the main study.
This research should be planned and conducted in a systematic way to generate complementary data that allows an integrated evaluation of the regional level of intensification and correlated risks to human health over time, and thus a comprehensive tangible basis for the development of respective health promoting policies.
Another limitation is that we were unable to assess treatment intensification for A1C control in patients who were already taking insulin at the start of the study; it is possible that this causes underestimation of the level of intensification in this population and potentially biases differences in intensification rates for hyperglycemia by race/ethnicity.

The decrease of FD was non-linear for specific leaf area and seed mass, with maximum reductions at intermediate levels of intensification.
