Mobile pastoralist strategies have evolved over centuries and are well adjusted to the variable climatic conditions of semi-arid regions. However, economic, social, and climatic changes, as well as technical advancements such as truck transportation, have increasingly affected the livelihood of pastoralist households in recent decades. An increase in inequality has been observed between wealthy pa...... hiện toàn bộ
Ecological monitoring of wetlands in semi-arid region of Konya closed Basin, TurkeySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 133-144 - 2011
Jay Krishna Thakur, P. K. Srivastava, S. K. Singh, Zoltán Vekerdy
Wetland ecosystems are of global significance having productive, regulatory and informative function. These wetlands are crucial for the long-term protection of water sources, as well as the survival of its unique biodiversity. Most of the wetlands of Turkey are now facing serious threat from the anthropogenic sources and now near to the verge of extinction. This study has been carried out to moni...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatio-temporal dynamics of wood-pastures in lowland and highland landscapes across CzechiaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 267-278 - 2018
Anna Pereponova, Jan Skaloš
Wood pastures represent grasslands, managed by grazing and characterised by scattered woody vegetation, recognised for their ecological, agricultural and socio-cultural roles, and are among the oldest land-use types in Europe. Rapid decline in their area all across Europe has been observed recently, sparking the appearance of a number of related studies. But these trends differ for each country an...... hiện toàn bộ
Global warming potential of French grassland-based dairy livestock systems under climate changeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 751-763 - 2012
Anne-Isabelle Graux, Romain Lardy, Gianni Bellocchi, Jean-François Soussana
Despite the increasing interest in assessing the greenhouse gas (GHG) budget of livestock production systems, little is known about the possible impacts of climate change on the future contribution of such systems to global warming. The aim of this study was to assess the global warming potential (GWP) of differently managed grassland-based dairy systems, based either on permanent or on sown grass...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial and temporal trends in agro-climatic limitations to production potentials for grain maize and winter wheat in SwitzerlandSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 109-122 - 2014
Annelie Holzkämper, Dario Fossati, Jürg Hiltbrunner, Jürg Fuhrer
Climate is a major driver of agricultural production potentials. To make the best use of these potentials, agricultural management should be adjusted to local climatic conditions. As these conditions change over time, understanding climatic limitations and their trends in time and space is essential for the planning of suitable adaptation measures. In this study, we provide a detailed spatio-temp...... hiện toàn bộ
New land in the Neotropics: a review of biotic community, ecosystem, and landscape transformations in the face of climate and glacier changeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1623-1642 - 2019
Francisco Cuesta, Luis D. Llambí, Christian Huggel, Fabian Drenkhan, William D. Gosling, Priscilla Muriel, Ricardo Jaramillo, Carolina Tovar
The high tropical Andes are rapidly changing due to climate change, leading to strong biotic community, ecosystem, and landscape transformations. While a wealth of glacier, water resource, and ecosystem-related research exists, an integrated perspective on the drivers and processes of glacier, landscape, and biota dynamics is currently missing. Here, we address this gap by presenting an interdisci...... hiện toàn bộ
Impacts of war in Syria on vegetation dynamics and erosion risks in Safita area, Tartous, SyriaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1707-1719 - 2018
Hazem Ghassan Abdo
Vegetation change and soil erosion are among the most serious environmental issues associated with the current the war in Syria. About 13 million people have been displaced, of which 8 million are inside Syria. The Syrian coastal region has received 1.4 million people of refugees since the onset of the war in Syria, resulting in an increased demand of services and goods from ecosystems, thus incre...... hiện toàn bộ
Solastalgia, place attachment and disruption: insights from a coastal community on the front lineSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2021
Christopher Phillips, Conor Murphy
AbstractWe explore how solastalgia, a concept that describes distress and inability to derive solace from one’s environment caused by disruptive environmental change, is currently being experienced by a community in southeast Ireland as they struggle to cope with place disruption through loss of a beach by coastal erosion. We analyse relationships between empirical...... hiện toàn bộ
