For example, consider a hectare of forest land with an annual NNP of 6 million grams of carbon per hectare per year (Mg C ha−1 yeand1) and a hectare of cropland with NPP of 3 Mg C ha−1 year−1.
In the Amazon, for example, ranchers routinely fell a hectare of forest to create a pasture worth around $500, while releasing hundreds of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
40 For example, if the area of forest plantations in a country has increased from 1 million hectares in 1990 to 1.5 million hectares in 1995, this would imply a current establishment rate of 100,000 hectares per year.
For example, if we are able to save a couple of hectares of land for a public park, it can make people happier for thousands of years to come.
Costa Rica, for example, has 1.1m hectares of natural reserves and a 93% reliance on renewable energy.
Farmers are compensated if they sacrifice a hectare of arable field for a stone curlew nest plot.
In the Kazakh steppe, for example, 25 million hectares of pasture land were converted into arable land within a span of only seven years (Succow 2004, p. 31).
For example, in 2000 96,000 hectares of maize and 124,000 hectares of barley were grown in Afghanistan; both crops belong to the coarse grains category (so do sorghum and oats, however, neither were produced in Afghanistan in 2000 according to [6]).
Mexico's $97 million annual papaya crop, for example, comes from 20,000 hectares of land in the tropics, says José Garzon of the National Institute of Forestry, Livestock, and Agricultural Research in Celaya, Mexico.
For example, if w = 25 and d = 1 km line, the total area of directly taken land will be A = 2.5 ha (ha hectare) (the average gross area of taken land is 3.2 ha).
