Index. Since life began on earth changes in the global climate have affected the distribution of organisms as well as their interactions. However human induced increases in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are causing much more rapid changes in the earth's climate than have been experienced for millennia. Evidence of global warming is plentiful and includes data on satellite measured sea level change lengthened growing season and increased precipitation intensities resulting in increased flood risk during winter in the northern hemisphere. With global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions and/or increasing extremities in weather patterns. This book is a highly informative source on global warming and climate change issues that are perhaps the greatest threat to this planet. It describes the process of global climate change its current and future impacts on human health and how our societies can lessen those adverse impacts via adaptation strategies and by reducing green house gas emissions. It will be a valuable reference tool for environmental scientists activists and scholars in the field. 274 pp.

Bibliography. Index. Biodiversity is the variety of life the different plants animals and micro organisms their genes and the ecosystems of which they are a part. It constitutes the most important working component of a natural ecosystem. Biodiversity helps maintain ecological processes creates soils recycles nutrients has moderating effect on the climate degrades waste controls diseases and above all provides an index of health of an ecosystem. The rich biodiversity of the world however has been under serious threat from a variety of human induced factors which can be measured by a reduction in the natural habitat loss of species and depletion of genetic diversity. Indicators of this change however are not easy to define since only a limited number of species have been identified and catalogued to date nevertheless the impact is serious. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the changing status of the world's biological diversity. It provides general information on the nature and scope of biological diversity and broad trends at genetic species and ecosystem level. It also covers a wide range of issues such as the causes and consequences of biodiversity erosion the strategies of biodiversity conservation the global biodiversity convention and its impacts. Being an all encompassing presentation on biodiversity the book is destined to become a highly useful reference tool for academicians researchers scientists administrators and ecoplanners. 288 pp.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book discusses various climate smart agro-technologies, their technical and economic feasibility across heterogeneous agro-climatic conditions, assessing farmers¿ willingness to adopt those technologies, impact of climate smart technology in agricultural production and possible policy and investment opportunities to upscale it. Containing eight chapters, the book starts with a discussion about the methodological aspects of priority setting of the farm technologies across various regions of South Asia including Eastern Indo-Gangetic plain, Western Indo-Gangetic Plain and arid regions. Using data from field based trials and expert solicitations, the book next deliberates on a list of feasible technologies, assessed by constructing climate smart Feasibility Index. Further on, there is an analysis, using stated preference method, of the behaviour of farmers in adopting climate smart technologies. Preference of women farmers has been given a special focus in this book. After discussing the method priority setting of the farm technologies, impact of climate smart technologies has been analysed using real time data. Government policies have been reviewed with the view of achieving climate smart agriculture in South Asia. The book also describes the optimization modelling framework for investment allocation and technology prioritization. The model integrates both the bio-physical and the economic optimization model to capture the agro-climatic heterogeneity within the region and the variability of technical feasibility across regions and crops. Results of this model will help policy makers to identify how much to invest, where to invest and what technologies to prioritize for investments.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To plan successfully and manage the increased uncertainties posed by likely future climate change, knowledge needs to advance much more for the water profession beyond what it is now available. Meeting these challenges does not depend exclusively on advances in climatological-hydrologic models. Policies for adaptation and strategies for mitigation measures have to be formulated on the basis of what are likely to be the potential impacts. These will have to be regularly fine-tuned and implemented according to changing needs and as more reliable knowledge and data become available. Even more challenging will be the politics of policy making and implementation, which will require a quantum leap from current policy-making and implementation processes. One can even say that, in addition to the development of more reliable models, the politics of climate change and water management remains one of the greatest uncertainties for the water profession.This book addresses water management practices and how these should and could be modified to cope with climatic and other related uncertainties over the next two to three decades; the types of strategies and good practices that may be available or have to be developed to cope with the current and expected uncertainties in relation to climate change; and the types of knowledge, information and technological developments needed to incorporate possible future climate change impacts within the framework of water resources management. Decision making in the water sector under changing climate and related uncertainties, and societal water security under altering and fluctuating climate are also discussed. Several case studies are included from several basins, cities, regions and countries in both developed and non-developing countries. This book was published as a special issue of the International Journal of Water Resources Development.
