--9: Elevated Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Temperature vis-a-vis Carbon Sequestration Potential of Global Terrestrial Ecosystem
--10: Climate Change Risk Perception, Adaptation and Mitigation Strategy: An Extension Outlook in Mountain Himalaya
--11: Toward the C Sequestration Potential of Agroforestry Practices to Combat Climate Change in Kumaon Himalaya, India
--12: Soil Conservation of Northwestern Himalayas (NWH): Their Constraints and Potentials for Sustainable Hill Agriculture
--13: Towards the Sustainable Management of Problematic Soils in Northeast India
--14: The Indian Himalayan Ecosystem as Source for Survival
--15: Soil Degradation in North-West Himalayas (NWH): A Case Study of Himachal Pradesh
--16: Towards the Natural Resource Management for Resilient Shifting Cultivation System in Eastern Himalayas
--17: Impact, Adaptation Strategies and Vulnerability of Indian Agriculture Towards the Climate Change
--18: Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Quality Seed Production: A Perspective of Hill Agriculture
--19: Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources in Indian Himalaya
--20: Diversity Among Rice Landraces Under Static (Ex Situ) and Dynamic (On-Farm) Management: A Case from North-Western Indian H...
--21: Effect of Climate Change on Growth and Physiology of Rice-Wheat Genotypes
--22: Rice Breeding for Drought Tolerance Under the Changing Climate Scenario
This book showcases a compilation of case studies presented by scientists, teachers and academics and covers contemporary technologies for combating climate change, including sustainable agricultural management practices and conservation agriculture. It highlights the situations that future generations in the Indian Himalayas will face, and addresses the major challenges for tomorrow's generations in their efforts to ensure sufficient food production for the global population. It also sheds light on the factors that are routinely ignored in connection with agricultural management practices for sustainable food production and risk assessment. Lastly, it illustrates the need to develop a comprehensive master plan for strategic planning, including conservation agriculture practices that address poverty and food security in the wake of climate change impacts.
