[1] A global biofuels program will potentially lead to intense pressures on land supply and cause widespread transformations in land use. These transformations can alter the Earth climate system by increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from land use changes and by changing the reflective and energy exchange characteristics of land ecosystems. Using an integrated assessment model that links ...

An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the additional dose reduction by clear felling contaminated forestry in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, and using the timber to cover the areas with wood chips. A portable gamma spectrometry system, comprising a backpack containing a 3 × 3″ NaI(Tl) detector with digital spectrometer and GPS receiver, has been used to map dose rate and radionuclide activ...

The purpose of this research is the use land in managing and doing environmentally friendly treatment clearing land. method that was carried out by meta-analysis with 175 journal articles related to forest fires Indonesia then identified produce an inventory data for meta-analysis. results through independence test between factors driving from anthropogenic activities characteristics indicate f...

Over the past 40 years, Paraguay has lost majority of its natural forest cover, thus becoming one countries with highest deforestation rates in world. The rapid expansion agricultural frontier, cattle ranching, and illegal logging between 1987 2012 resulted loss 27% original equivalent to almost 44,000 km2. Within this context, present research provides first yearly analysis cover change Paragu...

The Vietnamese National REDD + Action Plan (NRAP) seeks to reduce emissions from forest clearing and land use, especially the main drivers of coffee rubber commodity expansion. Achieving NRAP goals, however, means negotiating a complex fragmented policy arena, with conflicting sector disconnects between global local ambition action, imbalanced power dynamics actors. We map fragmentation this ar...

The effort to automate is present across all industries. It has an economic purpose but potential impacts go far beyond economics. Research been carried out and a lot of investment made in automation variety industries, as well agriculture forestry, which resulted efficient solutions for diverse applications. In fact, more have emerged the field than any other. This can be explained terms, also...

1. Factors contributing to the maintenance of phenotypic variation in nature are often difficult to determine. Secondary sexual traits might be particularly interesting in this regard due to the interaction they experience between multiple selective agents. One way to examine such effects is to monitor populations following environmental change. Human-caused changes can be particularly useful h...

A simple conceptual water balance model representing the streamflow generation processes on a daily time step following land use change is presented. The model consists of five stores: (i) Dry, Wet and Subsurface Stores for vertical and lateral water flow, (ii) a transient Stream zone Store (iii) a saturated Goundwater Store. The soil moisture balance in the top soil Dry and Wet Stores are the ...
