Landslides, floods, and droughts are recurring natural disasters in Nepal related to too much or little water. The summer monsoon contributes more than 80% of annual rainfall, rainfall spatial inter-annual variation is very high. Gandaki River, one the three major rivers tributaries Ganges covers all agro-ecological zones central part Nepal. Time series tests were applied for different River Basin (GRB) trends four seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon winter) from 1981 2012....
The land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector, as a source sink of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is critical for achieving carbon neutrality. Many academic journals have published papers on use emission or (LUCES), but LUCES reviews are relatively rare, which poses great challenges in accurately understanding the research progress future prospects. This work analyzes characteristics, hotspots perspectives by using bibliometric analysis (such DDA, VOSviewer, CiteSpace software)...
Abstract Livestock are a critical part of our food systems, yet their abundance globally has been cited as driver many environmental and human health concerns. Issues such soil, water, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, aquifer depletion, antimicrobial resistance genes, zoonotic disease outbreaks have all linked to livestock operations. While studies examined these issues at depth local scales, it difficult complete regional or national scales due the dearth data, hindering pollution...
Groundwater recharge process is crucial for maintaining the water balance in an area and securing sustainable supply drinking, agriculture industrial purposes it also very necessary management of both surface subsurface resources. The calculation estimation groundwater way to understand reservoir forecast its potential accessibility. In this study, effectiveness Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Multi Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) analytic hierarchy (AHP) as a spatial prediction...
Several forest management and conservation models exist throughout the world Nepal is one of pioneering countries to implement a community forestry programme. Studying relationship between carbon stocks biodiversity important in understanding trade-off between two major benefits ecosystems, working towards achieving optimum balance them. This study aims to: (i) estimate biomass total stock forests, (ii) explore diversity and density trees, (iii) examine that relation elevation forest. The...
Indigenous people whose subsistence livelihoods depend upon the direct utilization of natural resources are vulnerable to impacts climate change, and can yet be unaware actual possible change. Changes in seasonality, temperatures rainfall could undermine traditional systems built group's experience. In one such system Himalayas, some herders practice vertical transhumance whereby they ascend stages high-altitude rangelands for summer similarly descend winter. Climate change models have...
Climate change has emerged as a global concern despite its differential impacts across geographical, social and economic gradients. Understanding perceptions of local communities towards climate is important it advances the knowledge, driver autonomous adaptation behavioral responses. The livelihood agro-pastoralists in trans-Himalayan regions Nepal depends on natural resources, highly sensitive to climatic variables. Although there are indications pronounced terms their variables...
The people living in the agrarian societies develop different strategies response to climatic variability and environmental uncertainties. Transhumant pastoralists Himalayas are among those who follow nature's rhythm of seasonality. traditional practices built group's experience might be useful adapt with climate change. Therefore, this study aims to: 1) perceptions transhumant herders towards changes key variables validate them observed data; 2) explore their significances for change...
An experiment was conducted to estimate the crop water requirement of rice and compare it with amount rainfall. Experiment designed evaporation evapotranspiration in cylindrical half cut mineral bottles. Rice planted bottles evapotranspiration. The rainfall during period recorded rain gauge station. highest month September (3.16mm/day) lowest June (2.56mm/day). rate increasing order from ranging 3.43 mm/day 19.57mm/day for respectively. required reflecting more increase days after plantation...
Grazing systems in the high Himalayas are changing response to socioeconomic factors and policy decisions. As well as effects on livelihood of herders, such changes may have significant impacts plant species richness composition. The objectives this study were explore how composition respond livestock grazing Himalayan rangelands. was conducted three mountainous Protected Areas Nepal viz. Sagarmatha (Mt Everest) National Park, Gaurishankar Conservation Area Khaptad Park. Species...
The theme of global sustainable development has changed from environmental management to climate governance, and relevant policies on governance urgently need be implemented by the public. public understanding change become prerequisite basis for implementing various policies. In order explore affected factors perception among Chinese residents, this study was conducted across 31 provinces regions China through field household surveys interviews. Combined with residents’ possible factors,...
One of the major policies in response to global climate change is reduction green house gases emission. Community forests Nepal are acting as sources and sink gases, spite providing socio-economic benefits user groups. There a lack information on whether community address disparity groups, how it affects opportunity cost willingness pay forest users Focusing conditions affect management, pay; effect carbon trading mechanism discounting benefit ratio, this study was carried out one CF western...
