1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
   Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

   Sammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. LÄS MER

3. 2. TRADITIONAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE IN AGRICULTURE FOR ADAPTATION/ RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE: HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA

   Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Författare :Dulani Lavanya Samarasekara Witharana; [2023-06-22]
   Nyckelord :climate change adaptation; resilient agroecosystems; Hindu Kush Himalaya; indigenous knowledge; traditional farming; traditional ecological knowledge;

   Sammanfattning : Mountain agricultural systems in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) are in a unique position to contribute to promoting nature-based solutions in adaptation and resilience to climate change since they are least impacted by the influence of commercial high-production agriculture. This study aims to explore currently available literature for evidence of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) based agriculture in the HKH region and analyse their contribution to region and location specific climate change adaptation.

4. 3. Effectiveness of the Costa Rican Payments for Ecosystem Services program in mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions: Trends in carbon stocks 2012-2020

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Författare :Noelia Solano Guindon; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Payments for ecosystem services; ecosystem services; carbon stocks; greenhouse gas emissions; mitigation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : Payments for ecosystem services (PES), a mechanism of incentives or compensation to landowners for provision of ecosystem services, have grown as a tool for meeting conservation goals. The Costa Rican payments for ecosystem services (PSA) program is one of the best-known examples because of being one of the most established. LÄS MER

5. 4. Nutrient flow on agroforestry farms in the province of Son La in northwest Vietnam

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Vindenergi

   Författare :Tula Strotz; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Agroforestry; contouring grass rows; Guinea grass; nutrient losses; Vietnam; Gräsbarriärer; Höglandsodling; näringsförlust; Träjordbruk; Vietnam;

   Sammanfattning : The population in the high mountains of the northwest provinces of Vietnam belongs to the poorest population in the country. Among the reasons behind this are the high frequency of minority groups in the region and the infertile soils of the steep slopes. LÄS MER

7. 5. Future climate suitability of shade trees in cocoa agroforestry systems in West Africa and shade tree diversity’s impact on farm microclimate : A Minor Field Study

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Författare :Jonna Halonen; [2023]
   Nyckelord :species distribution modeling; cocoa agroforestry; shade trees; West Africa; microclimate; distributionsmodell; kakaoskogslantbruk; skuggträd; Västafrika; mikroklimat;

   Sammanfattning : Shade trees’ implementation into cocoa agroforestry systems in tropical West Africa has proven to have a high potential in increasing farm resilience and mitigating climate change. However, no studies have yet examined the potential future climate suitability for shade trees in the region, which is important when deciding which shade trees to implement. LÄS MER
