This book is the grandstand of the collaborative endeavors of diverse stakeholders in addressing the challenges of wheat production and wheat rusts in Ethiopia within the context of the international efforts across Africa ...
Resilient and efficient agro-ecosystems under changing climate and demography
The presentation held in Dharwad (India) by dr. Biradar analyses the effects of changing climate on agriculture and proposes climate- smart practices. The stresses agriculture faces are multiple, some of which include ...
Quantification of the Terrestrial Phytomass and Carbon in the Mountainous Forest Ecosystem Using Remote Sensing and In-Situ Observations
The aim of this research was to develop an understanding of how mountainous forests function in relation to forest phytomass and
carbon accumulation in the terrestrial vegetation pools which will help develop options for ...
Socio-economic and Agricultural Vulnerability Across Districts of Karnataka
Vulnerability assessments can play a vital role in the design of appropriate adaptation and mitigation policies targeted towards climate
change and its impacts on ecosystems, and those who depend upon these resources for ...
Adaptive Policy Responses to Climate Change Scenarios in the Musi Catchment, India
In India the stresses on water resource systems have increased, due in part to increased demand for scarce water supplies. Yet, what could be of greater concern is the potential long-run threats of climate change affecting ...
