“…Goulet and Morlat (2011) state that the definition and characterization of terroirs is an excellent alternative to improve the accessibility of external markets to different types of coffees produced at a certain region, and consequently to a higher appreciation of its products, as is already the case with wine.…”

-Differentiating coffees through the notion of terroirs allows us to determine potential areas for specialty coffee production and to characterize the type of coffee in these areas, exploring their potential. The objective of this work was to study spatial variability quality and to characterize and delimit terroirs in coffee crop production in Araponga municipality, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, using sensorial evaluation. The data were collected from four crops, from altitudes ranging from 770 to 1270 m, with the extract increasing from low to high. In each plot of crops, samples of cherry fruits were collected, dried, benefited, subjected to sensorial analysis and given grades ranging from 0 to 100 points for the global drink quality and relative characteristics of honey, body, acidity, flavor and equilibrium. The spatial variability of the quality was analyzed using the Moran Index. To define coffee production terroirs, average quality grades were compared through separation tests and the individual values of the plots were subjected to an analysis of groupings. The study was efficient in identifying terroirs for mountain coffee culture, therefore allowing coffees to be differentiated as a function of their production locations. Araponga has more than one coffee production terroir characterized by two distinct altitude extracts.

“…While in wine market, even a respectable expert could overreach (World Wealth Report 2013). As the demand of fine wine always exceeds its supply due to the limited amount of good har vest wine bottles, each consumed bottle shifts the value of the remaining ones (Coffman, Nance 2009;Goulet, Morlat 2011). Moreover, this market differs from traditional finan cial markets in terms of a deep relationship with emotions, taste and education of an investor.…”

“…Moreover, this market differs from traditional finan cial markets in terms of a deep relationship with emotions, taste and education of an investor. Goulet and Morlat (2011) state that in viticulture, four main factors determine the quality of wine: environmental conditions of production, varietal selection, vine manage ment, and winemaking practices. Wine differs from tradi tional investments and other alternatives by dependence on climatic conditions while other alternative investments incur no impact related to climate (Storchmann 2012).…”

Abstract. This article analyses wine as an alternative investment tool and its relevance for investment portfolio diversification. Advantages and disadvantages of alternatives, benefits and weakness and peculiarities of investing in wine are systemised. In addition, the article looks at statistical data analysis of fine wine market and compares wine with other investment tools. The examination is based on three investment instruments: US equities (using S&P 500 index), bonds (using US 20Year treasury constant maturity rate/DGS20) and wine (based on Fine Wine Investable index) using 1993-2012 (end of year) data. The invest ment portfolios made with two and three abovementioned investment tools basing on H. Markowitz's investment portfolio theory and effective curves are presented. It was found that return on investments only from equities and bonds or wine and one of these traditional instruments are signally less than from the investment mix of all three tools. Furthermore, portfolios made only from equities and bonds provide the lowest return compared to others. Choosing from two investments portfolios, results of bond/wine portfolios propose higher return with the same risk level compared to equities/wine portfolio. Consequently, despite some slowdown of wine index during financial crises, wine relevance for portfolio diversification in post crises period was proved.

“…National GHG inventory for land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) is a relatively recent policy requirement, which has critical links to economic development at both the national and regional scale: concerning food and energy security, climate change adaptation and low carbon economy (e.g. Goulet et Morlat 2011, Van der Krabben & Jacobs. 2013, Ostle et al 2009, Rounsevell & Reay 2009, USDA 2008, Exnerova & Cienciala 2009, Brown et al 2012, Lewis 2010.…”

Land dataset uncertainty: effect on Romanian National Greenhouse Gas Inventory

Abstract. The availability of long-term land datasets is fundamental to ensure consistent and accurate national greenhouse gas inventories for land use and land use changes. Estimation of Romania's CO 2 removals and emissions over 1970-2010 was assessed comparatively by using National Statistics (as reference dataset), Corine Land Cover data, as well as four additional datasets produced from the reference dataset and assuming some forest data changes according to other available partial datasets (NFI,LUCAS or expert judgment). A spreadsheet, implementing a model of UNFCCC national greenhouse gas inventory, allowed estimation of both net CO 2 removals and emissions and gross CO 2 fluxes from all carbon pools, for all land subcategories over 1970-2010. The model was run for each dataset. The reference dataset resulted in an average annual gross flux of CO 2 , twice as large as the corresponding annual net removals of 13 Tg CO 2 , while annual estimates were more than double in post-1990 compared to pre-1990. Uncertainty of net annual CO 2 removals by reference dataset was estimated around 31%, slightly lower than for gross estimate, and just around 55% when based on CLC dataset. Overall, the contribution of 12 broad land sub-categories to CO 2 inventory was similar in the national net and gross estimates, for both pre-and post-1990 periods. Land under conversion represented 9% of the country's area in pre-and only 2% in post-1990, corresponding to an annual average of 28% of gross and 6% of net annual CO 2 estimates. Among the choices of datasets tested, the reference dataset provided the most conservative estimates of the CO 2 inventory. Other datasets generally overestimated annual LULUCF sink and its main contributor forestland, as well as the emissions or removals from land conversion. Compared to pre-1990, when annual sink was rather low, land abandonment and moderating management in the post-1990 period has led to an increase of C stock in all pools, showing the relevance of political changes on land's CO 2 emissions/removals. Inconsistency within available land datasets impairs more accurate estimation of national GHG inventory. The development of an improved land use assessment system around National Forest Inventory is therefore suggested as a solution to implement consistent land definitions and to accurately estimate their areas in time.
