Abstract:: ... The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) is a fruit tree that grows from 392 to 1500 m above sea level. In addition to their socioeconomic, traditional, and religious value, it is a tree that tolerates high temperatures, drought, and salinity better than many other fruit crop plant species and plays an important role in the balancing and sequestration of atmospheric carbon. Date palm has been cultivate ...

Abstract:: ... Carbon (C) emissions from forest fires in the Amazon during extreme droughts may correspond to more than half of the global emissions resulting from land cover changes. Despite their relevant contribution, forest fire-related C emissions are not directly accounted for within national-level inventories or carbon budgets. A fundamental condition for quantifying these emissions is to have a reliable ...

After the severe droughts in the 1970s and 1980s, and subsequent debates about desertification, analyses of satellite images reveal that the West African Sahel has become greener again. In this paper we report a study on changes in tree cover and tree species composition in three village landscapes in northern Burkina Faso, based on a combination of methods: tree density change detection using aer ...

Abstract:: ... BACKGROUND: Since 2009, millions of people have been forced to live under food shortage by the continuous drought in Southwestern China. The market was the primary source of aid grains, and fears that the market will be unable to provide sufficient food make safeguarding food security in the face of climate change crucial. Traditional adaptive strategies of pre-market indigenous people are a poten ...

Abstract:: ... Drought is a key factor affecting forest ecosystem processes at different spatio-temporal scales. For accurately modeling tree functioning – and thus for producing reliable simulations of forest dynamics – the consideration of the variability in the timing and extent of drought effects on tree growth is essential, particularly in strongly seasonal climates such as in the Mediterranean area. Yet, m ...

Abstract:: ... We present an estimate of net CO₂ exchange between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere across North America for every week in the period 2000 through 2005. This estimate is derived from a set of 28,000 CO₂ mole fraction observations in the global atmosphere that are fed into a state-of-the-art data assimilation system for CO₂ called CarbonTracker. By design, the surface fluxes produced in ...

Abstract:: ... To test the effect of forecasted drought and warming conditions for the next decades by GCM and ecophysiological models on foliar concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and especially of volatile terpenes, we studied four typical Mediterranean woody plants (Pinus halepensis L., Pistacia lentiscus L., Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Globularia alypum L.) under a field experimental drough ...

86. Modeling the Dynamics of Snags

Author:: Michael L. Morrison; Martin G. Raphael

Subject:: Abies; Pinus; birds; drought; environmental factors; forests; guidelines; habitats; insects; inventories; land use; managers; models; mountains; nesting; planning; snags; tree and stand measurements; tree mortality; trees; wildlife; California
Abstract:: ... Many wildlife species required standing dead trees (i.e., snags) as part of their habitat. Therefore, the ability to predict future density, distribution, and condition of snags can assist resource managers in making land—use decisions. Here we present methods for modeling the dynamics of snags using data from a 10—yr study on the rates of decay, falling, and recruitment of snags on burned and unb ...

87. Development of Inventory Models to Determine Feed Reserves for Beef‐Cattle Production under Unstable Climatic Conditions

Author:: M. Afzal; J. H. McCoy; F. Orazem
Source:: American journal of agricultural economics 1965 v.47 no.4 pp. 948-962
ISSN:: 0002-9092
Subject:: agricultural economics; beef cattle; carrying capacity; climatic factors; drought; income; inventories; models; pastures; probability distribution; ranchers; stocking rate
Abstract:: ... An investigation is made of the use of inventory models for determining the optimum quantity of feed reserves under drought conditions. The costs and revenues associated with beef‐cattle production and the carrying of reserve feed supplies are combined with a probability distribution of drought occurrence in an expected‐net‐revenue function. Variation in the quantity of feed stored permits the max ...
