The role of pasture and soybean in deforestation of the Brazilian amazon
The dynamics of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon are complex. A growing debate considers the extent to which deforestation is a result of the expansion of the Brazilian soy industry. Most recent analyses suggest that deforestation is driven by the expansion of cattle ranching, rather than soy. Soy seems to be replacing previously deforested land and/or land previously under pasture.

The effect of a period of water shortage on the growth and yield of cassava
Drought stress was imposed on 2 cassava cv. (M Col 22 and M Mex 59) at Santander de Quilichao (Colombia), by withholding rainfall from field plots (plastic covers were placed over the soil surface) for 10 wk, commencing when crops were 12 wk old. The plants were then allowed to recuperate until the expt was terminated at 10 mo. Harvests were taken at intervals through the growth cycle and were supplemented with measurements of fine root distribution, leaf production and senescence, soil and plant water status, and stomatal response. As a result of the stress, the late-developing cv.
