Vulnerability of horticultural crop production to extreme weather events [PDF]
The potential impact of future extreme weather events on horticultural crops was evaluated. A review was carried out of the sensitivities of a representative set of crops to environmental challenges.

Comanthera elegans, an ecologically important species in rocky grasslands, is projected to face significant habitat loss under future climate change scenarios. Modeling with the Maxent algorithm showed that its suitable habitats, defined by high rainfall seasonality and moderate temperatures, are at risk, especially under high greenhouse gas emissions.

Managing Water Resources for Environmentally Sustainable Irrigated Agriculture in Pakistan [PDF]
Pakistan’s agriculture is almost wholly dependent on irrigation and irrigated land supplies more than 90 percent of agricultural production. Irrigation is central to Pakistan’s economy.

Phylogenetic History and Adaptation Mechanisms of Casuarina equisetifolia Landraces in China
Genetic analysis revealed that Chinese Casuarina equisetifolia landraces exhibit structures similar to Southeast Asian populations but also show evidence of hybridization with C. glauca. The study detected genomic variations linked to pathogen interactions along migration pathways and identified integrated adaptive signals in hybrids, including traits ...

Confronting the environmental consequences of the Green Revolution in Asia: [PDF]
Intensive double or triple monocropping of rice has caused degradation of the paddy micro environment and reductions in rice yield growth in many irrigated areas in Asia.

Groundwater Changes the Climate Niche of an Amazonian Mound‐Building Termite
ABSTRACT Rainfall is a major dimension of species climate niches. It has been proposed that groundwater can change species responses to rainfall by creating ‘hydrological refugia’ under a drier climate. However, the available evidence is conflicting and biased towards plants.

Organic farming practices and climate change adaptation [PDF]
The need to adapt to climate change is one of the main challenges facing the future of agriculture. Even if strong and effective mitigation measures were taken, even if greenhouse gas emissions dropped to zero immediately, the climate would continue to ...

Quantifying the Hydrological Niche of Upland Swamp Plant Communities Using Indicator Species
ABSTRACT Coastal Upland Swamps of the Sydney Basin Bioregion, Australia, are highly biodiverse upland mires. Swamp vegetation organises into five communities, thought to occupy distinct positions along a hydrological gradient. Longwall mining reduces the duration of root zone saturation, but lack of quantitative understanding of hydrological niche ...
