Greenhouse gas emissions along a peat swamp forest degradation gradient in the Peruvian Amazon: soil moisture and palm roots effects por Lent, Jeffrey van, Hergoualc'h, Kristell, Verchot, Louis V., Oenema, Oene, Groenigen, Jan Willem van

“…Tropical peatlands in the Peruvian Amazon exhibit high densities of Mauritia flexuosa palms, which are often cut instead of being climbed for collecting their fruits. This is an important type of forest degradation in the region that could lead to changes in the structure and composition of the forest, quality and quantity of inputs to the peat, soil properties, and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes. …”

Estimating Global "Blue Carbon" Emissions from Conversion and Degradation of Vegetated Coastal Ecosystems por Pendleton, L, Donato, D.C., Murray, B.C, Crooks, S., Jenkins, W.A, Sifleet, S, Craft, C, Fourqurean, J.W., Kauffman, J.B., Marbà, N, Megonigal, P, Pidgeon, E., Herr, D, Gordon, D., Baldera, A.

“…Combining the best available data on global area, land-use conversion rates, and near-surface carbon stocks in each of the three ecosystems, using an uncertainty-propagation approach, we estimate that 0.15–1.02 Pg (billion tons) of carbon dioxide are being released annually, several times higher than previous estimates that account only for lost sequestration. …”

A spatial framework for ex-ante impact assessment of agricultural technologies por Andrade, J.F., Edreira, J.I.R., Farrow, A., Loon, Marloes P. van, Craufurd, Peter Q., Rurinda, J., Zingore, S., Chamberlin, Jordan, Claessens, Lieven, Adewopo, Julius, Ittersum, Martin K. van, Cassman, Kenneth G., Grassini, P.

“…To date, these efforts lack a generic and robust spatial framework for ex-ante assessment that: (i) provides strategic insight to guide decisions about the number and location of testing sites, (ii) define the target domain for scaling-out a given technology or technology package, and (iii) estimate potential impact from widespread adoption of the technology(ies) being evaluated. In this study, we developed a data-rich spatial framework to guide agricultural research and development (AR&D) prioritization and to perform ex-ante impact assessment. …”

Effect of seminal plasma on hipoosmotic swelling test in fresh alpaca spermatozoa por Pacheco Curie, Joel I., Mamani Cato, Rubén Herberht, Vélez, V. M.

“…A count of at least 200 spermatozoa was performed per sample, using an optical microscope with immersion objective (100X), the vitality was evaluated by supravital eosin staining (0.7%)-nigrosin(1%), the results indicate that it does not exist a detrimental effect of the seminal plasma on the endosmotic response, being, on the contrary, superior in the whole semen; the vitality of the spermatozoa with and without seminal plasma is similar, however it decreases when it is reconstituted with seminal plasma, possibly due to the seminal plasma of another animal; there is no positive correlation between endosmosis and vitality, indicating that the latter would not necessarily reflect the integrity of the membrane, which is why it is recommended to perform this test routinely in alpaca semen exams.…”
