Автор: Mahesh K. Gaur; Victor R. Squires Название: Climate Variability Impacts on Land Use and Livelihoods in Drylands ISBN: 3319859722 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783319859729 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 139750.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This edited volume is devoted to the examination of the implications of the inevitable changes wrought by global change on the welfare and livelihoods of tens of millions of people who live in dryland regions. Global change is more than just climate change and the ramifications of changing trade patterns (geopolitical and economic aspects), the shift to the market economy, demographic factors (population growth, urbanization and re-settlement), receive attention here. Land use change specialists, policy makers and natural resource management agencies will find the book very useful.
Chapters focus on examples that are drawn from a number of sources including previously unpublished studies on the impact of climate change, markets and economics on pastoralist and dryland farming households. The key focus is to provide readers with insights into the real world implications of change (including an analysis of the drivers of change) on these vulnerable groups within dryland societies. The role of humans as agents of these changes is canvassed. A regional analysis of the world's drylands is also performed including those in Australia, Argentina, India, North America, China, North Africa, Central Asia and Southern Africa.

Ecological concepts such as trophic levels, symbiosis, population dynamics, biomes, and more are explained using Arctic examples.
Throughout the book, Arctic case studies are presented to reinforce the concepts and issues discussed. This text combines the experience of field ecologists, Nunavut Arctic College faculty, and Northern science educators to create a culturally relevant publication focused on the Arctic environment and Northern issues. Arctic Ecology and Environmental Stewardship supports the teaching of ecological studies, environmental issues, science, and critical thinking skills.

Offering a more optimistic view of change in the drylands, it synthesises much of the best work from past years.
