Polarization in (post)nomadic resource use in Eastern Morocco: insights using a multi-agent simulation modelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 489-500 - 2018
Gunnar Dressler, Falk Hoffmann, Ingo Breuer, David Kreuer, Mohamed Mahdi, Karin Frank, Birgit Müller
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

Vulnerability of water discharge of large Chinese rivers to environmental changes: an overviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 182-191 - 2004
X. X. Lu
In an era of rapid environmental change, China is facing increasing problems in
the management of its large rivers and water resources. The disastrous 1998
Yangtze floods and the emerging water shortages in north China raised further
concerns about the potential impact of environmental change on extreme
hydrological events such as floods and droughts. Over the past few decades,
increasing water co... hiện toàn bộ
The threat of energy diversification to a bioregion: a landscape-level analysis of current and future impacts on the US Chihuahuan DesertSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1949-1962 - 2019
Maureen R. McClung, Nathan T. Taylor, Benjamin K. Zamzow, E. Taylor Stone, Helena Abad, Matthew D. Moran
Landscapes are being impacted by rapid change, especially by diversifying energy
industries. As this process occurs, habitats with little development and
fragmentation are now facing increasing anthropogenic change. We studied current
patterns of land use and ecosystem services costs of energy development and
predicted future impacts in the US Chihuahuan Desert. We measured land developed
and modi... 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-tempo... hiện toàn bộ
Nurturing ecosystem-based adaptations in South Africa’s Garden Route: a common pool resource governance perspectiveSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 1849-1863 - 2019
Chloé Guerbois, Ute Brady, Abigail G. de Swardt, Christo Fabricius
Increasing human demands for ecosystem services due to climate change,
population growth, poverty, lack of employment, tourism, and concomitant coastal
property development threatens adaptive capacity in South Africa’s coastlines.
Adaptation strategies frequently propose ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA) as a
model for transformative change. However, several studies point to difficulties
