Effect of climate change on biodiversity: A review
Biodiversity is essential building block of the services the ecosystem provides to society of human. Biodiversity is very important due to its role in ecosystem functioning but when it is eroded it is difficult to replace or recover it. Change in climate has reverse effect on the habitat fragmentation and habitat loss and synergistically take […]
Climate change awareness and environmental attitude of College students in one campus of a State University in the Philippines
Climate change is one of the major concerns of the world in the 21st century. The quality of the earth’s environment is dependent on the students because they are the future leaders and most qualified individuals in protecting the environment. The study assessed the climate change awareness and the environmental attitude of undergraduate students of […]
Changes in benthic communities in the Middle Atlas springs (Morocco) and their relationship with climate change
The sources of the Moroccan Middle Atlas suffer not only the effects of anthropogenic pressures, but also those of climate change whose impact is difficult to predict. Our goal is to better understand the succession of processions fauna of the upper Guigou. It is a compendium comparative between the benthic fauna collected towards the end […]
Factors influencing adaptation of farming practices by the coastal farmers in response to climate change
Coastal farmers are the most vulnerable in the context of climate change variability and their farming activates are being disrupted mostly due to climate change. Proper adaptation practices are supreme to ensure food security, resilience and productivity. The study was conducted to find out the factors influencing adaptation of farming practices by the coastal farmers […]
Climate change: An evil or an opportunity-evidence from the Hindu-Kush Mountain system of Pakistan
Swat district falls in the Hindu-Kush mountain system of Pakistan, is considered as one of the most important biodiversity hotspots of the country. To explore the present floristic diversity of the region, vegetation sampling was done and field experiments were carried out using geo-referenced data of various species of eco-geological interest. Field data was merged […]
Climate change cost upon ecosystem services in the Sundarban mangrove forest in Bangladesh
The Sundarban forest, known as the mangrove protection region by the UNESCO for numerous world endangered species, is located in the southwest of Bangladesh that lies between the delta of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers. It is the habitat of Royal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris) which is a world largest endangered mammal species and […]
Climate change and role of anthropogenic impact on the stability of Indus deltaic Eco-region
The Indus River is one of the major river systems of the world and the principal contributor in the creation of the Indus Fan – second largest sediment body in the ocean basins, to talling ~5 x 106 km3. Recent geological and geophysical information obtained from the Pakistan margin suggests that the Indus River and […]
Understanding the effect of storm as a sign of climate change on the Juniper forest of Ziarat, Balochistan, Pakistan
This investigation was carried out on Juniperus excelsa. Juniperus excels is the dominant species in Juniper forest of Balochistan, Pakistan. Juniper trees are known to be the living fossils because of its long rotation age. The average forest age is between 1500 to 2500 years. The study aim is to highlight the threats of climate […]
Water resources and their management under impact of climate change and users pressures in Kebir-West River basin (North-Eastern Algeria), using the WEAP model
Water is the factor of the humanity development, this resource of life threatened by human pressure and the effects of the nature to know the future climate change put the man in face of challenges for a rational management. The objective of this paper is to examine the likely impacts of a climate change on […]
Variability of surface water resources and extreme flows under climate change conditions in arid and mediterranean area: Case of Tensift watershed, Morocco
Within the context of climate change and increasing demographic pressures, problems of water resources variability have become particularly crucial. The management of arid watersheds, which are highly exposed to droughts and floods, needs to be supported by a thorough understanding of their susceptibility to these hazards. The watershed of Tensift in Morocco includes a high […]
