To use the proposed model for the VC, we follow three stages of training, adaptation, and conversion.
It has to be remembered that while most design packages and protocols are intended for new construction, around 80% of all construction projects still include existing structures for renovation, refurbishment, adaptation, or conversion (Itard & Meijer 2009).
Main adaptations were conversion from mowing to grazing and increasing manured area, with varying proportions and locations for these two types of changes differing across scenarios, though overall small.
Developed in close cooperation with leading institutions focused on sustainable development and environmental conservation, TerrSet provides groundbreaking tools for addressing major challenges to smart growth - climate change: trends, projections and adaptation; land cover conversion: trajectories and impacts; ecosystem services: present and future value.
It appears that the whole crew of Bayern is up for any conversion, any adaptation of what they achieved half a year ago.
Available traditional crop residue management (CRM) technologies have not achieved wider adaptation; therefore, recently thermochemical conversion has been foreseen as an interesting tool for potential CRM under changing climate scenario.
Maynard Smith's challenge [ 3] is greater still if a sexually-reproducing population is to resist invasion by a sexual mother converting to clonal reproduction because, at the moment of conversion, the adaptation of the new clonal mother is the same as her former sexual self.
Three genomic regions have been revealed to be necessary for temperate adaptation across all sorghum conversion lines containing the Dwarf (Dw) 1, Dw2, and Dw3 loci underlying sorghum plant height on chromosomes Sb09, Sb06, and Sb07, respectively (Lin et al. 1995; Morris et al. 2012; Thurber et al. 2013).
Possible adaptation measures might include conversions to deciduous species where soil conditions are favorable or enriching pine stands with deciduous species.
