Capitalizing on the carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry in Germany’s agricultural landscapes : realigning the climate change mitigation and landscape conservation agendas
have been selected. Practices of conserving or promoting six agroforest classes are compared with a catalogue of essential properties for becoming effective carbonoffset projects. Criteria from mandatory and voluntary carbon markets for carbon
The paper calls for greater integration of scattered trees into agricultural landscapes, hypothesizing that agroforestry practices effectively store carbon and deliver other important ecosystem services. Several agroforests from the Upper Lusatia
sequestration are then applied. The study concludes that steps towards realization of ‘carbon sequestration projects’ should include collecting empirical evidence regarding the carbon sequestration potential of temperate agroforestry systems.

Many of the essays focus on the materiality of carbon : its physical properties and how this affects its enrolment into the global circuits of capital. Many contributions highlight the need to take seriously the biophysical properties of carbon
. These properties may give rise to new governance challenges (in terms of commodification, measurement and exchange) or produce distinct forms of socio-ecological relations. There is a focus on the scalar politics of the new carbon economy and the specific
governance challenges it generates. There are claims of the uneven development that results on the ways in which carbon is commodified.

Characteristics of small offset streams crossing strike-slip faults in Japan
This paper examines the characteristics of small offset streams in Japan, through the analysis of planform channel course geometry and longitudinal profiles measured in the field. Some configurations characteristic to the deformation types still
Development of offset channels across the San Andreas fault
The San Andreas fault offsets some small gullies incising the relatively flat surfaces in the Carrizo Plain, California. This study analyzes the field-measured planform geometry and longitudinal profiles of some channels offset by the San Andreas
through seasonal surface transfer functions and subsurface thermal properties. The temperature of permafrost (TTOP) results from the interplay between the air temperature, the nival (snow) offset and the thermal offset. These offset values vary
The Yaracuy basin is a tectonic depression within an echelon stepover in the Bocono-Moron-El Pilar fault system. This basin is interpreted as a pull-apart basin formed by right-lateral offset along this fault system. The right-lateral offset
necessary for the formation of the basin and its present dimensions is 50 to 60 km| this figure is consistent with estimates of a total late Tertiary-Quaternary right-lateral offset of 100 to 125 km along the Bocono-Moron-El Pilar fault system, which is part
Late Quaternary systematic stream offsets caused by repeated large sismic events along the Kunlun fault, northern Tibet
The AA. focus upon the Kusai Lake-Kunlun Pass segment of the fault to understand the geomorphic development of offset streams caused by repeated large seismic events, based on tectono-geomorphic analysis of high-resolution satellite remote sensing
images combined with field studies. The results indicate that systematic left-lateral stream offsets appear at various scales across the fault zone. The Kusai Lake-Kunlun Pass segment provides an opportunity to understand the relationship between
-northeast for approximately 50 km, dips steeply to the southeast, and has at least 200 m and possibly 400 m of normal offset. It is the largest fault known to offset the tertiary sediments on the Atlantic coast. Although no offset can be resolved at the sea
-floor, a 3 m offset occurs 40 m beneath the sea-floor. Removal of salt at depth resulting in subsidence of overlying material has been proposed as a possible mechanism producing the faulting.
The AA. measured the offsets of six stream valleys, of 30 to 90 m, along the northwest - southeast trending, left lateral Haiyuan strike - slip fault, in north-central China. Minimum ages of these offsets were determined to estimate lower bounds
that unequivocal interpretation of isotopic offsets between epipelagic, mesopelagic and benthic species are unlikely. Other proxies are needed to constrain temperature and salinity conditions at a given depth in order to transcribe isotopic offsets in the water
, maintain commute duration rather than having a major increase or decrease. This corroborates the idea that there are offsetting sectors, where increases in commute lengths due to suburbanizing residences are counteracted by the correlated process ob
that sewage was a valuable commodity, the agricultural utilization of which would generate susbstantial income to offset the costs associated with sanitary reforms. There is a particular reference to Victorian attitudes to resource conservation
. Assuming that fracture zones are in isostatic equilibrium at the base of the lithosphere, the geoid offset occurs because the portions of lithosphere on each side of the fracture have different thickness and density structures as predicted by thermal models
