Future climate change is likely to affect distributions of species, disrupt biotic interactions, and cause spatial incongruity predator-prey habitats. Understanding the impacts future on species distribution will help in formulation conservation policies reduce risks biodiversity losses. Using a modeling approach by MaxEnt, we modeled current snow leopard (Panthera uncia) its common prey, blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur), observed changes niche overlap Nepal Himalaya. Annual mean temperature...
Recently, partly due to the increasing carbon consciousness in electorates and imminent introduction of Australian Government's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS), estimating footprints is becoming increasingly necessary agriculture. By taking data from several sources, this study estimates national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions a variety farm inputs, for 23 key vegetables crops grown Australia. For 121,122 ha land occupied by vegetable farms, there are 1.1 MtCO(2)e GHG or 9.2 tCO(2)e...
Design and application of context-specific forest management practices with the participation key stakeholders plays a significant role in sustainable outcomes. However, forestry often hold different, sometimes conflicting, expectations relation to policies objectives. Applying triple-perspective typology stakeholder theory, this paper assessed evolution “Scientific Forest Management” (SciFM), signature programme Nepalese Government, as well its policy processes explored compatibility,...
Forest-based ecosystem services (ES) play a vital role in improving people’s livelihoods, the environment, and economy. Prior studies have focused on technical aspects of economic valuation such as biophysical quantification through modeling mapping, or monetary valuation, while little attention has been paid to social dimensions. Taking case two dominant community-based forest management systems (community forestry—CF collaborative forestry—CFM) Chure region Nepal, we investigate how local...
SUMMARY The majority of cotton produced in Australia is exported. Australian industry must maintain product quality order to remain globally competitive. In addition, carbon-conscious consumers need reassurance that the system used grow environmentally sustainable. aim present study was estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due various farm inputs three common types farming systems on Darling Downs region, southern Queensland. Analysis revealed GHG for dryland solid-plant and double-skip...
Climate induced natural disasters and extreme events are escalating with the increased variability of climatic parameters due to climate change. This study assesses flood adaptation strategies that applicable at community level in two Terai districts Nepal. The data were collected through three focus group discussions 210 household surveys. revealed forecasting practices included monitoring extent rainfall upper catchments identifying position clouds. 'Initiate communication', 'take care...
The impacts of climate change in remote communities the Himalaya have been relatively underexplored. This study combines traditional knowledge people from three Village Development Committees (VDCs) districts high altitudinal regions Nepal with scientific data to document changes climatic patterns, natural hazards, ecological systems and agricultural practices. respondents perceived notable local conditions, frequency disasters processes. Their perception warming over past 15–20 years...
Climate variability, climate change, and extreme events can compound the vulnerability of people heavily reliant on agriculture. Those with intersecting disadvantages, such as women, poor, ethnic minority groups, may be particularly affected. Understanding assessing diverse vulnerabilities, especially those related to ethnicity, are therefore potentially important development policies programs aimed at enabling adaptation in groups. This study uses a livelihood index (LVI) method, along...
