Climate change presents significant challenges to ecosystems, economies, and societies globally. In Malaysia, a tropical country highly dependent on its natural resources, the impacts are evident in altered rainfall patt...

Abstract Climate change poses significant threats to agricultural production and livelihoods in Bangladesh, particularly in its agrarian regions. This research specifically addresses the vulnerability of the coastal area...

Abstract Background: Food security and nutrition are threatened globally due to climate change. The West African Sahel is particularly vulnerable to climate change given food systems that are highly dependent on rainfall...

Nitrogen (N) is essential for global food production, yet its inefficient use leads to widespread environmental degradation and contributes significantly to climate change. This focus issue of Environmental Research Lett...

The current study aims to determine farmers’ perception on climate change and its impact on vegetable production tomatoes, cucumbers and green pepper…etc., and identify socio-economic shacieteristics as age, educatio...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Archaeological research suggests significant human occupation in the arid Andean highlands during the 13th to 15th centuries, whereas paleoclimatic studies reveal prolonged drier and colder conditions during that period....

Abstract Changes in weather and climate factors can cause negative impacts on women’s economic activities in agricultural communities, which have drawn increasing research attention. The objective of the current study ...

Climate-smart agricultural (CSA) technologies are vital for enhancing the climate resilience of high-value, climate-sensitive crops like vanilla in Sub-Saharan Africa. While institutional support through agricultural ext...

The rising demand for food, escalating water security, the impact of climate change, and global policy initiatives have heightened research focus on sustainability in agricultural water management. However, the field suf...

Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical processes, an estimated 30% of irri...

Sustainable agriculture is widely promoted as a cornerstone of climate change mitigation, yet the extent to which this research domain explicitly engages with carbon-neutrality and net-zero objectives remains unclear. Th...

Ecology and sustainability are increasingly approached as a coupled socio-ecological agenda for balancing human needs, ecosystem integrity, and long-term resilience within ecological limits Rapid climate risks, accelerat...

Ranching is a challenging and sometimes risky business, with cattle production (and associated enterprise income) largely being dependent on seasonal weather patterns and corresponding forage production. To help reduce t...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

Decelerating climate change requires a shift away from conventional production practices across industries, including agriculture, to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Agricultural sustainabil...

Nigeria’s population is projected to approximate 400 million by 2050, and food security is essential for sustaining a stable, cohesive, and secure nation. This reality indicates that the existing reliance on imports fo...

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops and are a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt crops to the impacts of global change, particularly to meet increasing consumer demand in t...

Understanding how vegetation phenology is changing across dryland agricultural systems is crucial for predicting the effects of climate change and enhancing food system resilience. Here, we analyze two decades of seasona...

In the context of climate change and the need to reduce pesticide and agrochemical use, the development of sustainable crops is becoming increasingly important. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone modifications, allow...

The Climate Change 2007 volumes of the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provide the most comprehensive and balanced assessment of climate change available. This IPCC Workin...

The most frequently used climate classification map is that of Wladimir Kppen, presented in its latest version 1961 by Rudolf Geiger. A huge number of climate studies and subsequent publications adopted this or a former ...

This chapter focuses on how human colonization of Sierras of Cordoba (Argentina) impact on the high-ranked prey resource density –i.e. Lama guanicoe-. Three hypothetical scenarios were modelled altering the encounter r...
