Drivers of change in animal protein production systems: changes from 'traditional' to 'modern' beef cattle production systems in Brazil
(2013)
Until 1990, beef cattle production in Brazil was recognized as an enterprise of low investment, low cost of production, as well as an extensive production system that used large land areas to be economically feasible. The ...
Environmental and anthropogenic drivers of soil methane fluxes in forests: Global patterns and among‐biomes differences
(Wiley & Sons, 2020-09)
Forest soils are the most important terrestrial sink of atmospheric methane (CH4). Climatic, soil and anthropogenic drivers affect CH4 fluxes, but it is poorly known the relative weight of each driver and whether all drivers ...
Global drivers and macroeconomic volatility in EMEs: a dynamic-factor, general-equilibrium perspective
(Banco Central de Chile, 2023-08-09)
