Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to natural and working lands, reducing the resilience of agricultural and forest productivity. Because land management is a leading source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate‐smart management practices are being implemented to reduce net emissions while sustaining yields.

Molecular Basis for Uracil‐DNA‐Glycosylase to Identify DNA Damage in the Nucleosome
ABSTRACT The DNA base‐excision repair (BER) pathway is initiated by a glycosylase, such as uracil‐DNA‐glycosylase (UDG), which identifies and removes a wrong base incorporated in the DNA sequence. The very early steps in the identification of the DNA damage are crucial to the correct initiation of the repair chain, and become even more complex when ...

Matrix variate slash distribution
In this paper, we introduce a matrix variate slash distribution as a scale mixture of the matrix variate normal and the uniform distributions. We study some properties of the proposed distribution and give maximum likelihood (ML) estimators of its ...

Rural Intangible Cultural Heritage Governance: Discursive Alignment for Sustainable Development
ABSTRACT Intangible cultural heritage governance is increasingly relevant to sustainable rural development, yet the conditions under which public, private and residents align priorities, responsibilities and legitimacy remain underexplored. This study examines how these actors conceptualise, prioritise and discursively legitimise it in Bergamo (Italy).

WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AMONG SLASH-AND-BURN FARMERS IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON: IMPLICATIONS FOR DEFORESTATION AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL MARKETS [PDF]
A Contingent Valuation survey shows that the possibility of trade in carbon sequestration services exists between utility companies and slash-and-burn farmers in the Amazon and that farmers positively value the environmental services of the forest ...
