Estimations of cumulative carbon emission caused by land-use change varied greatly among the models, suggesting scientific issues in implementing land-use change processes in the ESMs (e.g., some models considered both crop and pasture areas, whereas others treated only cropland; some models used information on gross land-use transitions, whereas others used net transitions).
In fact, so many subdivisions were proposed for the town of Southampton last year that it recently imposed a six-month moratorium on processing subdivision applications for four or more lots until it can implement land-use recommendations contained in an update to its master plan.
