摘要： The agricultural sector in Nigeria provides a socio-economic resource base for exiting pervasive poverty, and transforming the economy. However, with the challenges posed by climate change through variability in rainfall, the agricultural livelihoods and poverty status of the population could be threatened due to the vulnerability context of the country. This paper explores the relationship between rainfall and food poverty through the assessment of vulnerability to climate change in an agricultural economy by geo-referencing and mapping of rainfall variability and food poverty. It provides a quantification of the scale and location of the area under food poverty and rainfall variability with scenarios that provide alternative sustainable development pathways of desirable outcomes. The coefficients of variation of rainfall or precipitation seasonality were computed from geo-referenced data and topologically overlaid on the most recent food poverty profile for Nigeria. The findings reveal intriguing phenomena bordering on agro-climatic and socio-economic factors of climate change vulnerability. The findings provide a basis for policy formulation and implementation on inequity of food poverty and environmental sustainability. It offers empirical insights on how to rethink concepts of socio-economic and environmental sustain ability through landscapes and livelihoods as outcomes of vulnerability contexts. The paper concludes that, there is need for agricultural transformation along vulnerability dimensions. The evidence of the nexus between rainfall and food poverty could be a new model for promoting sustainability of the agrarian economy in Nigeria. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要： 近55年来江汉平原年平均气温呈显著上升趋势,降水量呈现微上升趋势,降水年际间变化明显。气候变暖使江汉平原径流量增加,干旱和洪涝等灾害出现的频率进一步增加。基于对生态文明的认识,提出了污染治理、调整产业结构、推广生态农业、打造休闲农业、发挥气象作用等农业生态适应气候变化的策略。江汉平原位于长江中游,地处湖北省中南部,是湖北省及全国的重要商品粮、棉、油生产基地和畜牧业、水产基地。其西起宜昌枝江,东迄武汉,北自荆门钟祥,南与洞庭湖平原相连,面积约4.6万km2,主要包括荆州市的荆州区、沙市区、江陵县、公安县、监利县、石首市、洪湖市、松滋市8个(县、市)区及仙桃、潜江、天门3个省直管市,并辐射周边武汉、孝感、荆门和宜昌4个市的部分地区。江汉平原因其地跨汉江和素有“九曲回肠”之称的长江而得名,这里地势低平,河道纵横交错,湖泊星罗棋布,呈现出一幅典型的“水乡泽国”和“鱼米之乡”的景色。然而,自20世纪50年代以来,人类对江汉平原湖泊演化的影响达到前所未有的地步,湖群资源从总体上遭受巨大破坏,大量湖泊消亡,湖区生态平衡严重失调,洪涝灾害频率增加,水污染不断加重,严重的水污染已经使相当多的地区出现水质型缺水,水资源受到严重威胁。

关键词： 乾县   气候变化特征   农业   影响  

摘要： 本文采取1988-2017年陕西省咸阳市乾县的气温、降水和日照时数观测资料,首先分析了乾县近三十年来的气候变化特征,接着分析探讨其对农作物的影响。结果表明:近三十年来乾县气温主要呈显著增温变化趋势,气候倾向率为0.536℃/10a;春、夏、秋、冬四季平均气温变化与年变化一致呈增暖趋势,增温幅度最为显著的为春季。降水量大致上呈波动增加的变化趋势,气候倾向率为20.391mm/10a。气候的显著变暖,降水量的波动起伏均会影响到乾县水热平衡以及季节降水的合理分配,进而对各类农作物的正常生长发育和作物病虫害造成一定的影响。只有适时采取有效措施应对异常气候变化,才能促使乾县农业的健康、持续发展。

摘要： Nutrient export from agricultural landscapes is a water quality concern and the cause of mitigation activities worldwide. Climate change impacts hydrology and nutrient cycling by changing soil moisture, stoichiometric nutrient ratios, and soil temperature, potentially complicating mitigation measures. This research quantifies the impact of climate change and climate anomalies on hydrology, nutrient cycling, and greenhouse gas emissions in an agricultural catchment of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. We force a calibrated model with seven downscaled and bias-corrected regional climate models and derived climate anomalies to assess their impact on hydrology and the export of nitrate (NO3-), phosphorus (P), and sediment, and emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and di-nitrogen (N-2). Modelaverage (+/- standard deviation) results indicate that climate change, through an increase in precipitation and temperature, will result in substantial increases in winter/spring flow (10.6 +/- 12.3%), NO3-(17.3 +/- 6.4%), dissolved P (32.3 +/- 18.4%), total P (24.8 +/- 16.9%), and sediment (25.2 +/- 16.6%) export, and a slight increases in N2O (0.3 +/- 4.8%) and N-2 (0.2 +/- 11.8%) emissions. Conversely, decreases in summer flow (-29.1 +/- 24.6%) and the export of dissolved P (-15.5 +/- 26.4%), total P (-16.3 +/- 20.7%), sediment (-20.7 +/- 18.3%), and NO3-(-29.1 +/- 27.8%) are driven by greater evapotranspiration from increasing summer temperatures. Decreases in N2O (-26.9 +/- 15.7%) and N-2 (-36.6 +/- 22.9%) are predicted in the summer and driven by drier soils. While the changes in flow are related directly to changes in precipitation and temperature, the changes in nutrient and sediment export are, to some extent, driven by changes in agricultural management that climate change induces, such as earlier spring tillage and altered nutrient application timing and by alterations to nutrient cycling in the soil.

关键词： Extreme Events   Agricultural Production   Environmental Sustainability   Production Practices  

摘要： Climate change is expected to cause several impacts on agriculture. Nonetheless, adaptive strategies and environmental sustainability may affect the ability to cope with these impacts. We analyze how agricultural technologies and the ecosystem diversity represented by the land cover have attenuated the impacts of extreme climate events on agricultural production in the Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Analyses are based on a panel with information for 568 municipalities between 1990 and 2014. We first use multivariate statistical analysis to define six groups of localities according to their levels of agricultural development and land cover. Secondly, based on fixed effect estimates, we analyze the relationship between the dynamics of extreme climate events and agricultural production in each group of localities. Results highlight that both technological and environmental factors could contribute to increases in agricultural production. More importantly, agriculture practiced with high levels of environmental preservation tends to be more resilient to extreme temperature and precipitation events.

摘要： Climate change in many agricultural contexts will increase tensions between farming and non-farming populations over adaptations in land use and water conservation strategies. How adequately these future tensions may be mitigated will be partially determined by each groups' beliefs about climate change. A voluminous literature shows that climate change beliefs are crucial for understanding engagement with climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, and that values motivate climate change beliefs, but the role of values remains unclear, and comparisons of farming and non-farming populations are scant. We develop a model of climate change beliefs that integrates four main motivating factors - values, political ideology, knowledge, and worldview - and we explicitly compare members of farming and non-farming populations in an agricultural watershed in the Central Great Plains, USA. Our findings highlight the role of held values in motivating climate change beliefs and point to areas of potential consensus and tension within and among members of these two groups. The results provide an empirical basis for developing future climate change engagement strategies in contexts of growing divides and conflicts among farming and non-farming groups.
