Impermanence of bacterial clones.
Bacteria reproduce asexually and pass on a single genome copied from the parent, a reproductive mode that assures the clonal descent of progeny; however, a truly clonal bacterial species is extremely rare. The signal of clonality can be interrupted by gene uptake and exchange, initiating homologous recombination that results in the unique sequence of one clone being incorporated into another. B...
متن کاملCattle Ranching, Land Use and Deforestation in Brazil, Peru and Ecuador
A critical dimension of global environmental change is the high rate of deforestation taking place as landholders convert primary and secondary growth into pastures for raising cattle. In the Brazilian Amazon, the expansion of cattle ranching is occurring at such a rapid pace that concerned analysts have coined the term "pecuarização" (cattlelization) to depict the extraordinary increase in the...
متن کاملCattle ranching intensification in Brazil can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by sparing land from deforestation.
This study examines whether policies to encourage cattle ranching intensification in Brazil can abate global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by sparing land from deforestation. We use an economic model of global land use to investigate, from 2010 to 2030, the global agricultural outcomes, land use changes, and GHG abatement resulting from two potential Brazilian policies: a tax on cattle from co...
متن کاملUncertainty and Option Value in Land Allocation Problems
In this paper we are concerned with modelling techniques for evaluating development and conservation opportunities when dealing with investment decisions involving environmental resources management. In this context, highly characterized by both environmental and economic uncertainty, we emphasize the importance of capturing the flexibility of different investment strategies. In particular, we ...
متن کاملExternalities, Uncertainty and Irreversibility with an Application to Land Use
A recent theoretical model devoted to the positive externalities of industrial clustering in the presence of irreversibility and uncertainty is adapted to include negative externalities that may arise from environmental or other causes. Such externalities may alter the decision criteria to invest by shifting some or all of: 1) the measurement of price, 2) the measurement of productivity, or 3) ...
