| Gap type | Specific gap | Research priority |
|---|---|---|

| Ghana's transition zone lacks empirical evidence | High | |
| Comparative cross-regional African studies are absent | Medium | |
| Theoretical | KAP linearity assumptions inadequately tested | High |
| Forest-agriculture system interactions are unexplored | High | |
| Institutional mediation mechanisms unspecified | High | |
| Methodological | Longitudinal adaptation tracking is absent | High |
| Economic cost-benefit analyses are rare | High | |
| Experimental intervention evaluations are lacking | Medium |
