We used case study data to examine whether and how subsistence-oriented smallholder farmers in three agro-ecological zones of Nepal (Terai, Hill, and Mountain) are developing and implementing adaptation strategies. The findings from small farm household interviews (n=384), key informant interviews (...

Using the 2011 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey data, we examine the relationship between ecological and socioeconomic variations on the effect of ANC services between three distinct ecological zones in Nepal. We make a case for the consideration of socioecological niches in designing effective ...
2023). Compared to latitudinal gradients, elevational gradients offer a unique advantage by providing diverse climatic and vegetational zones over shorter distances. Such condensed vegetation zones can facilitate the study of species distributions regulated by ecological processes, including dispersal, ...
Introduction Nepal extends 800 km east to west along the southern slope of the Himalaya. The country is divided into three ecological zones, namely the Tarai/ Inner Tarai (100-300 m above sea level), the Middle Hills (300-3000 m a.s.l.) and the High Mountains (above 3000 m a.s....
The results of the study suggest that due to quite a high rate of climate change, the climatic zones shifting towards higher altitudes at the average rate of 5.6 2 m/year, causing several adverse ecological impacts in terms of decreasing quality dense temperate forest cover (0.05%/year), ...
At present, ecological compensation has been extended from a single element, such as for river basins, forests, grasslands, and wetlands, to comprehensive coverage, such as for red lines for ecological protection, key ecological functional zones (KEFZ), and national parks. The most direct purpose...
