CLIMATE IMPACTS ON SUSTAINABLE NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Climate
change has emerged as one of the predominant global concerns of the
21st century. Statistics show that the average surface temperature
of the Earth has increased by about 1.18 DegreesC since the late
19th century and the sea levels are rising due to the melting of
glaciers. Further rise in the global temperature will have dire
consequences for the survival of humans on the planet Earth. There
is a need to monitor climatic data and associated drivers of
changes to develop sustainable planning. The anthropogenic
activities that are linked to climate change need scientific
evaluation and must be curtailed before it is too late. This book
contributes significantly in the field of sustainable natural
resource management linked to climate change. Up to date research
findings from developing and developed countries like India,
Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and the USA have been
presented through selected case studies covering different thematic
areas. The book has been organised into six major themes of
sustainable natural resource management, determinants of forest
productivity, agriculture and climate change, water resource
management and riverine health, climate change threat on natural
resources, and linkages between natural resources and
biotic-abiotic stressors to develop the concept and to present the
findings in a way that is useful for a wide range of readers. While
the range of applications and innovative techniques is constantly
increasing, this book provides a summary of findings to provide the
updated information. This book will be of interest to researchers
and practitioners in the field of environmental sciences, remote
sensing, geographical information system, meteorology, sociology
and policy studies related to natural resource management and
climate change.
