Adaptation to the impacts of climatic events has the potential to reduce vulnerabilities of communities through adjustments in processes, structures and practices (Smit and Pilifosova2003), and is significant because ongoing change is ‘locked in’ to the climate system from past greenhouse gas emissi...
It was only recently, November 2021, that a group of scientists issued a plea to governments for establishing a global monitoring system to track the loss of oxygen in the oceans causing dead zones: “There is a pressing need to document and predict hypoxic episodes and hotspots of low ...
The DC approach changes much of the distribution of the mean seasonal temperature and seasonal rainfall in the majority of the world zones studied. In areas such as Australia and New Zealand, South America and Southeast Asia, the DC approach makes both the mean, the variance and the overall ...

It was unfortunate that the unusual drought of 1983 fell during this first census interval, but that could not be planned. We have carefully examined notes from the first census to be certain that we have the date on which each tree was observed alive and measured, and all growth rates ...
The selection of planting materials from natural population genetic hot spots or breeding zones with adaptive potential needs to be considered, especially in the climate change scenario, for effective implementation of conservation and management strategies. This review thus provides information on teak ...
