In agriculture and forestry, the application of biotechnological advances has increased over the past two decades. Numerous advantages of biotechnologies are documented; however, implementation is problematic and technological, biophysical and societal challenges continue to be faced. The longer history of biotechnology in agriculture holds potential lessons for emerging forestry ideas, and vice versa. Using a systematic study and content analysis of agricultural and forestry scholarly literature (235 articles) between 1989 and 2020. In terms of justifications for the use of biotechnologies, obstacles to and implementation guidelines, and types of evidence considered, we compare these two fields. Food protection is the primary advantage of biotechnologies found in the agricultural literature, while forest production and climate change adaptation are the most common motivating justifications in the forest context. In the literature on forestry, we find a comparatively greater focus on regulatory and legal obstacles. Despite comparatively less focus on these items as defined obstacles, both fields stress recommendations to overcome barriers related to lack of awareness and governance processes. As compared to 51 percent of those in agriculture, relatively few (32 percent) forestry articles were informed by perspectives from social sciences and humanities.
