Scientists identify ways landowners in rural Brazil can find win-win situations with biodiversity and farming.
Across the globe, and particularly in Brazil, lies an embarrassment of riches that also stage a showdown as mitigating climate change and protecting biodiversity square off against growing food., scientists from and once affiliated with Michigan State University's Center for Systems Integration and Sustainability identify ways for landowners in rural areas to be able to capitalize on win-win situations, whether they have fruitful land or not.
However, many rural properties do not have the legal reserves, deemed a"deficit," according to lead author Ramon Bicudo. The work seeks to understand and model ways to balance climate change- and biodiversity- positive forests with agriculture lands which have replaced forests. However, many other regions where there are legal reserve deficits but with lower food production standards, there is higher potential to stock carbon and to enhance biodiversity conservation.

Scientists make the first observation of a nucleus decaying into four particles after beta decayNot all of the material around us is stable. Some materials may undergo radioactive decay to form more stable isotopes. Scientists have now observed a new decay mode for the first time. In this decay, a lighter form of oxygen, oxygen-13 (with eight protons and five neutrons), decays by breaking into three helium nuclei (an atom without the surrounding electrons), a proton, and a positron (the antimatter version of an electron).
