A high-altitude peatland record of environmental changes in the NW Argentine Andes (24 ° S) over the last 2100 years [PDF]

, 2016
High-altitude cushion peatlands are versatile archives for high-resolution palaeoenvironmental studies, due to their high accumulation rates, range of proxies, and sensitivity to climatic and/or human-induced changes. Especially within the Central Andes,

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Tree-mediated methane emissions from tropical and temperate peatlands [PDF]

, 2012
Methane production and transport processes in peatlands are fairly well understood, but growing evidence for emission of methane through trees has highlighted the need to revisit methane transport processes.

Including Harvested Grain Biogenic CO2 to Address a Critical Flaw in Climate Accounting

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international climate accounting system excludes both the biogenic CO2 sequestered in harvested crops and the biogenic CO2 emissions that occur when grain is digested or burned as biofuel. Despite being described in the literature as a critical flaw in climate accounting all parties within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate

Bryophytes and lichens in peatlands and Tepualia stipularis swamp forests of Isla Grande de Chiloé (Chile)

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2014
One hundred and twenty-nine taxa of bryophytes and lichens were found in peatlands (Sphagnum bogs) and swamp forests of Tepualia stipularis of Isla Grande de Chiloé (Chile) (41°-43°S, 73°-74°W).

Policy Evaluation for Climate Mitigations in the European Agricultural Sector—A Comparison of Policy Options at Micro and Macro Level

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to discuss the micro‐ and macro‐outcomes for the standard neoclassical carbon tax (whose burden falls on the producers) versus the implication of a budget neutral, performance‐based EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) focusing on non‐CO2 emission (N2O and CH4, measured in CO2eq) reduction, especially in the ...

Awareness–Action and Policy Acceptability in Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Key Stakeholders in Germany's Cattle Dairy and Meat Chains

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a systematic literature review and targeted searches to define a synthesis framework mapping the awareness–action gap, progression along the awareness–action continuum and policy acceptability in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation among key stakeholders in Germany's cattle dairy and meat chains.

Niche diversification of Sphagnum in Bolivia [PDF]

, 1997
Niche breadth values of Sphagnum species in the páramo and cloud forests of Bolivia are similar to those reported for Sphagnum-dominated peatlands in North America, but niche overlap values are higher for Sphagnum species in Bolivia. The pH, conductivity,

Green Equals Green? The Divergent Policy Logics of Climate and Biodiversity Governance

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Market‐based instruments (MBIs) are increasingly promoted in international biodiversity and climate governance. This article argues that biodiversity policy has distinct dynamics and complexities that require approaches beyond economic instruments. By analyzing key concepts such as ecosystem services, biodiversity offsets, and MBIs, this study
