Contributing to the Mitigation of Climate Change Using Rangeland Management

Arational approach to responding to the uncertainty of climate change requires attention to both mitigation and adaptation activities. Mitigation, in contrast to adaptation, involves the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and enhancement of greenhouse gas sinks.1 The goal of mitigation is to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at a level that would prevent human interference ...

Introduction to Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options

Climate is a critical factor shaping the structure and function of forest ecosystems in the Southern United States. Human induced changes in climate systems have resulted in an increase in the global average air temperature of about 0.8°C since the 1900s (Pachuri and Reisinger 2007). Data from long-term weather stations show that overall, the continental United States has warmed during the past...

terms of address as an important linguistics items provide valuable information about the interlocutors, their relationship and their circumstances. this study was done to investigate the change route of persian address terms in the two recent centuries including three historical periods of qajar, pahlavi and after the islamic revolution. data were extracted from a corpus consisting 24 novels w...

Cooperation on Climate-Change Mitigation†

We model greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a dynamic game. Countries’ emissions increase atmospheric concentrations of GHG, which negatively affects all countries' welfare. We analyze self-enforcing climate-change treaties that are supportable as subgame perfect equilibria. A simulation model illustrates conditions where a subgame perfect equilibrium supports the first-best outcome. In one of o...
