Land use and land cover change is the major direct human cause of disequilibrium, and encompasses deforestation and forest degradation, changes in agricultural practices, reforestation and afforestation, and changes in ecosystem management and fire management. Currently, the most important factors are the rapid clearing of tropical forests(a large source of CO2 to the atmosphere), the abandonment of agricultural land and the increase in forest land in northen temperate regions(a major land carbon sink for CO2). 4, record 2, English, - land%20use%20change

surrender: A fundamental category of juridical acts in the common law. 3, record 6, English, - abdication
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Surrender is a generic term for all acts of the kind, [mentioned in the definition] but the following specific terms, including surrender itself, are normally used depending on what is surrender : surrender for an estate, lease, patent, insurance policy or physical object; disclaimer, renunciation, for an estate, succession, inheritance or office, especially if not yet vested or if unwanted or burdensome; resignation, reliquishment, for an office; waiver release, for a right of action; waiver renunciation, for a right to attend a meeting, right to receive notice, right to generally to the benefit of an obligation; release for a debt, usually on its satisfaction, e. g. for a mortgage; remission for an unsatisfied debt; discontinuance for the reliquishment and consequent termination of a judicial action by written notice given by a plaintiff, or for the termination of an abandoned action by court order. All the above should be clearly distinguished from abandonment, which is a unilateral and unwritten act of relinquishment, e. g. of a child, a ship, land, a building, goods, or of a judicial action where no notice of relinquishment is given by the plaintiff(in which connection abandonment does not terminate the action if the possibility subsists of it being revived) ;and from forfeiture, which is involuntary. 3, record 6, English, - abdication
