Weather information sources, sharing platforms, and trustworthiness for climate change adaptation in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal
Reliable weather information plays a greater role in agricultural decision-making and enhances adaptive capacity to climate change among farming communities. Timely weather information, pertinent understanding, and utilization support farming activities and build the resilience of smallholder farmers. This study presents a comparative analysis of sources, trustworthiness, sharing mechanisms, and use of weather information in farming practices in …
Studies on adaptive capacity to climate change
Adaptive capacity was recognized as one of the critical components of vulnerability assessment in 2001 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Adaptive capacity extends beyond the mere accumulation of resources to encompass the willingness and ability to transform available resources into adaptive actions. In this context, adaptive capacity denotes the ability of social-ecological systems to adjust to the negative effects of environment…
Evaluation of traditional rain-fed agricultural terraces for soil erosion control through UAV observation in the middle mountain of Nepal
The livelihood of most people in the mountainous region of Nepal depends on traditional farming practices. Farmers modify their lands by constructing narrow outward sloping terraces to control soil erosion in the mountain and hill of Nepal. However, preliminary observation reveals that farmers adopt different strategies to manage outward sloping terraces according to the amount of rainfall so as to avoid the impact from soil erosion due to excess…
Ethnomedicinal landscape
Background The risk of losing traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and their use and conservation is very high. Documenting knowledge on distribution and use of medicinal plants by different ethnic groups and at spatial scale on a single platform is important from a conservation planning and management perspective. The sustainable use, continuous practice, and safeguarding of traditional knowledge are essential. Communication of such knowled…
Stable sediment retention and rapid economic growth occurred together from the end of the 1970s to 2015 in the Three Gorges Reservoir area
Studies of land use/cover change (LUCC) and its impact on sediment retention services (SRS) can provide references for governments to aid them in identifying priorities for conservation or development. We analysed the LUCC characteristics of the Three Gorges Reservoir area (TGRA) and their impact on SRS for the period from the end of the 1970s to 2015 using the Sediment Delivery Ratio model of the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tr…
Climate Change and Its Impacts on Farmer’s Livelihood in Different Physiographic Regions of the Trans-Boundary Koshi River Basin, Central Himalayas
The impact of climate change on farmers' livelihoods has been observed in various forms at the local and regional scales. It is well known that the Himalayas region is affected by climate change, as reflected in the basic knowledge of farmers in the region. A questionnaire-based survey involving a total of 747 households was conducted to gather information on climate change and its impact, where the survey addressed four physiographic regions of …
Land use policies in Nepal
Land degradation due to change in land use and land cover (LULC) is one of the most serious global environmental problems. Public policies are important drivers of LULC change and play equally important role in promoting sustained land use. An understanding of the policies framed under different socio‐economic and political conditions and its implications helps refining the policies for sustained land use. This paper discusses the policies, legis…
