Global spatially explicit carbon emissions from land-use change over the past six decades (1961–2020)
Land-use change (LUC) is a major source of global anthropogenic carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. However, current estimates of LUC-induced emissions vary widely with differences in data and models, making it challenging to identify and manage emissions hotspots by location and LUC activity. Here, we estimated spatially explicit carbon fluxes associated with global major gross land-use transitions based on a new bookkeeping mode…
Estimated stocks of circumpolar permafrost carbon with quantified uncertainty ranges and identified data gaps
Soils and other unconsolidated deposits in the northern circumpolar permafrost region store large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). This SOC is potentially vulnerable to remobilization following soil warming and permafrost thaw, but SOC stock estimates were poorly constrained and quantitative error estimates were lacking. This study presents revised estimates of permafrost SOC stocks, including quantitative uncertainty estimates, in the 0–3 m…
Lifecycle greenhouse gas implications of US national scenarios for cellulosic ethanol production
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 set an annual US national production goal of 39.7 billion l of cellulosic ethanol by 2020. This paper explores the possibility of meeting that target by growing and processing Miscanthus × giganteus. We define and assess six production scenarios in which active cropland and/or Conservation Reserve Program land are used to grow to Miscanthus. The crop and biorefinery locations are chosen with consid…

Why do men buy sex and what are their assessments of the HIV-related risks when they do
The belief that female prostitution might play a key role in the heterosexual spread of HIV infection has led to a great deal of attention being focused on the activities of women who sell sex. By contrast, the activities of men who buy sex has been largely ignored. One of the reasons for this has undoubtedly been the difficulties of contacting such men. In this paper data from telephone interviews with 70 men who had recently purchased sex are p…
