Spatially explicit models of land abandonment in the Amazon 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Given growing concerns about biodiversity loss and carbon emissions stemming from tropical deforestation, it is important to identify the factors associated with land abandonment as they might indicate areas that were deforested but are unsuitable for long-term cultivation. This article utilizes a high-resolution, Landsat-based data-set called TerraClass to relate land abandonment to precipitation, slope, farmgate price of beef, market access, soil quality, and land tenure characteristics in the Brazilian Amazon. The spatially explicit statistical models reveal that rates of land abandonment increase with higher rainfall and slope values, even when controlling for distance to roads, farmgate prices, type of settlement, and soil quality. Moreover, land adjacent to a major road is more likely to be consistently cultivated, but land near large rivers and far from highways is more likely to be abandoned. Land ownership type also influences the likelihood of land abandonment as settlements based on communal property rights have higher rates of land abandonment than settlements with private lots. These results suggest that policies aimed at occupying tropical forests such as the Amazon must consider these biophysical and socioeconomic factors in order to foster human development aligned with sustainability principles. 相似文献

This study aims at understanding flood risks and their impact on a community, in order to enhance communities’ resilience and adaptive capacity to these threats. It also investigates the possibility of looking at and handling risk from a resilience point of view. Therefore, while a conventional risk management process is employed in this study, social, physical, economic, and institutional dimensions of resilience are also included in order to grasp the extent of risks and the ways in which communities face, cope with, and recover from flooding. Findings showed that there was no significant difference in the perception of flood risk among household heads educated up to secondary school level, suggesting that they believe floods are purely natural events. Those with a higher level of education (high school and above) (82.7 % of respondents) were aware that flood disasters are the result of hazard and vulnerability combined. In addition, social dynamics were apparently strengthened by such disasters, which resulted in cohesion and mutual help following floods in some wards. Also, households with more sources of income and more savings appear to recover faster than others after a flooding event. With regard to governance and networks, greater efforts have to be made by local institutions to ensure basic functioning during and after disaster events and to invest more into risk reduction activities. However, further studies need to be conducted to clarify the understanding of the impact flood disasters have on the environment and community lives and livelihoods in general, as traditional coping strategies, although still practical, no longer suffice in the face of changes in climate and environment. 相似文献

Although vast literature exists on the drivers of tropical deforestation and its ecological consequences, less is known about how patterns of forest fragmentation emerge in the first place. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue for the Brazilian portion of the Amazon basin by analyzing the social processes generative of five specific patterns, including rectangular, fishbone, radial, dendritic, and what we refer to as ‘the stem of the rose.’ We argue that forest fragmentation patterns in the Brazilian Amazon are largely determined by the types and arrival times of the agents who engage in land clearing. We also argue that the patterns manifest in the landscape by virtue of road construction and agricultural property formation, which often occur in tandem. We conclude by placing our discussion within legal and institutional contexts, and observe that fragmentation stemming from formal colonization projects is more consistent with biodiversity conservation than that associated with a laissez-faire occupation. However, erosive impacts may be greater in topographically sensitive areas. 相似文献

Long-term effects of subcutaneously injected 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin on the liver of rhesus monkeys 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) accumulates and remains stable in the fatty tissues and liver of rodents for a long time. Considering the pronounced difference between species, long-term, low dose hepatic effects of TCDD were investigated after subcutaneous administration of TCDD into rhesus monkeys during pregnancy. Macroscopic and histopathological examination of the liver carried out 4 y after TCDD administration demonstrated intrahepatic focal fatty changes, infarction, hemorrhage, microthrombi-formation, sinusoidal ectasia, small hepatocyte hyperplasia, and increased number of alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA)-positive cells. An electron microscopic study disclosed sinusoidal endothelial cell degeneration and injury in the liver of TCDD-treated monkeys. Western blot analysis showed downregulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) protein expression and decreased level of vascular endothelial (VE) cadherin but increased expression levels of CYP1A1 and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) protein in the liver tissues. These changes observed in TCDD-exposed monkeys indicated sinusoidal endothelial cell injury and impairment in intrasinusoidal microcirculation. Infarction, focal fatty change, and microthrombi-formation are considered to be closely associated with intrahepatic circulatory impairment. Increased number of alpha-SMA-positive cells and decreased level of VE cadherin expression in the liver tissues might also be associated with sinusoidal endothelial cell injury. In addition, downregulation of AhR expression and increased CYP1A1 protein levels in the liver were consistent with persistent effects of TCDD. Although it has been reported that TCDD induced endothelial cell injury, this is the first report to describe vascular disorders and protein expression in the liver after injection with TCDD in a primate model. 相似文献

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) is a potential raw material for production of lignocellulosic bioethanol. The OPEFB was pretreated with 8% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution at 100°C for 10 to 90 min. Enzymatic digestion was carried out using cellulase and β-glucosidase at 45°C for 24 h. It was then inoculated with Mucor indicus spores suspension and fermented under anaerobic conditions at 37°C for 96 h. Sodium hydroxide pretreatment effectively removed 51–57% of lignin in the OPEFB and also its hemicellulose (40–84%). The highest glucan digestibility (0.75 g/g theoretical glucose) was achieved in 40-min NaOH pretreatment. Fermentation by M. indicus resulted in 68.4% of the theoretical ethanol yield, while glycerol (16.2–83.2 mg/g), succinic acid (0–0.4 mg/g), and acetic acid (0–0.9 mg/g) were its by-products. According to these results, 11.75 million tons of dry OPEFB in Indonesia can be converted into 1.5 billion liters of ethanol per year. 相似文献
