Rural development program in tribal region: A protocol for adaptation and addressing climate change vulnerability
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Tribal peoples globally are among the most vulnerable groups to climate change and variability. This is due to a combination of their relative poverty and their dependence on agriculture and natural support systems (NSS). ...
Exploring the compass of potential changes induced by climate warming in plant communities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
New models are required to predict the impacts of future climate change on biodiversity. A move must be made away from individual models of single species toward approaches with synergistically interacting species. The ...
China's ecological civilization program-Implementing ecological redline policy
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
China is one of the first countries to explicitly attempt to institute coordinated, ecosystem-based management across local, regional, and national scales. Chinese scientists have been urging policymakers to manage landscapes ...
Climate change will seriously impact bird species dwelling above the treeline: A prospective study for the Italian Alps
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
High mountain systems are predicted to be especially vulnerable to the impact of climate change, with the climatically-constrained tree limit rapidly shifted upslope. In turn, the impact of upward treeline migration on ...
Sustainable livelihood framework-based indicators for assessing climate change vulnerability and adaptation for Himalayan communities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This study evaluated the climate change vulnerability of Himalayan communities, and their potential to adapt to these changes, through assessing their perceived reactions and counter-actions to climate change. The evaluation ...
Herbal plants- and rice straw-derived biochars reduced metal mobilization in fishpond sediments and improved their potential as fertilizers
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Fishpond sediments are rich in organic carbon and nutrients; thus, they can be used as potential fertilizers and soil conditioners. However, sediments can be contaminated with toxic elements (TEs), which have to be immobilized ...
Global maps of soil temperature
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ...
Socio-ecological vulnerability and resilience of mountain communities residing in capital-constrained environments
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
The study evaluated perceived reactions and counter-actions of Himalayan communities to climate change. The evaluation was conducted through identification and characterization of 62 socio-environment-specific indicators ...

(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
This work is a contribution to applied water and fertilizer coupling efforts aiming at increasing crop productivity on sugarcane plantations through the analysis of average cane yields obtained following main agronomic ...
Assessment of leaf morphological, physiological, chemical and stoichiometry functional traits for understanding the functioning of Himalayan temperate forest ecosystem
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
Leaf functional traits support plant survival and growth in different stress and disturbed conditions and respond according to leaf habit. The present study examined 13 leaf traits (3 morphological, 3 chemical, 5 physiological, ...
