Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Forests of Uttarakhand and the changing climate. 2. Possible impacts of climate change on agriculture. 3. Status of Himalayan glaciers. Conclusions. References. From the preface: Mountains influence the livelihoods of nearly 40 per cent of people globally. While data on clim…ate change impacts in mountains is sparse, what we have suggests that mountains are among the more vulnerable regions on the planet. As mountains are important providers of ecosystem services and home to wilderness refuges for lowland species in case of climate warming understanding the impact of climate change on these ecosystems is essential. The Himalayan region may be particularly sensitive to climate change. There are evidences to indicate that at least parts of the Himalaya are warming at a significantly higher rate than the global average. This is of great concern as (i) the region has more snow and ice than any other region in the world outside the Polar caps, (ii) the Himalaya directly influence climate in much of the South Asia (iii) the Himalayan glaciers are connected to 9 major river basins, including the Gangetic basin, which alone has about 500 million population.

pbk. Contents Preface Overview I The ecoregion specific approach 1 Himalayas and the adjacent Gangetic plan - the planets great geo-ecological anthropogenic system II Strategy and action Plan Priority 1 Balancing the approaches of environmental conservation 2 Crop diversity and organic agriculture should be recognised and promot…ed 3 Enhancing community participation 4 The time-tested institutions of Van Panchayat of Uttarakhand should be strengthened and extended to other states of the western Himalaya 5 Recognise the potential of livelihood oriented conservation in protected areas and other forests 6 Revive an emphasis on natural forest regeneration which has been undermined in forestry programmes 7 Restructure and modernise the administrative network of forest and protected areas for conserving biodiversity and enhancing ecosystems services 8 Re-evaluate the pros and cons of the blanket-ban on tree cutting in the Western Himalaya 9 Recognise grazing as a major socio-ecological factor of the Western Himalaya and manage it in an integrated and sustainable way 10 Conservation sites outside protected areas should be managed both for biodiversity and ecosystem services 11 Strengthening of intra and inter-ecoregional co-operation for managing cross-cutting aspects of both biodiversity and ecosystem services 12 Providing habitat corridors where critical - such as for the Western Himalayan foothill population of elephants 13 Rejuvenation of the natural ecosystems around tourist towns where lake eutrophication and pollution has damaged biodiversity and ecosystem services including water supply 14 Conservation of dry deciduous biome along the xeric slopes of the river and watercourses 15 Impact of global warming on biodiversity Literature cited AnnexuresWhile this book focuses on rich biodiversity of Indian Western Himalayan region it looks at it from a lens of culture livelihoods and people It acknowledges that people cannot be seen as the problem but must be part of the solution We stress not just on diversity - but on harder to measure and quantify values such as ecosystem services Putting tangible numbers to these and focussing on the services this region provides is key to conservation Not only are the Western Himalaya the cradle of many of the major rivers of the Indian subcontinent but the water silt and nutrients brought down from the mountains is critical to sustaining the high productivity of the Indo-Gangetic plains Can we value these myriad ecosystem services into our national accountingThis book also explores the role of people and institutions The region is home to Van-panchayats forest councils one of the oldest institutions of common property management in the world Can these play a role in conserving the various resources of this region Can we even just look at forests and biodiversity without including economics and equityA considerable part of this book is focussed on issues and problems that threaten the forests and biota of this diverse landscape But while flagging issues is important more essential is to try and find solutions--something that has been attempted in this bookBased on the strategy and action plan document for the Western Himalayan ecoregion produced under the aegis of the national biodiversity strategy and action plan this book has been modified and updated to keep it focussed on current problems and their solutions It has inputs and thoughts from several sources - from experts and academicians to policy makers and mountain farmers jacket 158 pp. figs, tables (illustratore).

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This second volume on Himalayan forests provides critical insights into Himalayan forests' response to the dual pressures of anthropogenic and natural stressors during the unprecedented environmental change. It examines forest reactions to physical distu…rbances, climatic shifts and the extreme temperature regimes that characterize treelines, thus predicting ecosystem responses under changing conditions. Through detailed analyses of treeline dynamics, fire ecology and wildlife distributions, this volume demonstrates forest ecosystem resilience and vulnerability to environmental stressors and provides insights into the interaction of biotic and abiotic factors. A distinctive focus on human-forest relationships examines both direct benefits and ecosystem service flows that sustain Himalayan communities. From livelihood transitions and shifting cultivation practices to silvicultural approaches, this volume bridges ecological science with practical applications. Coverage of chronic disturbance patterns and forest recovery trajectories provides frameworks for understanding long-term ecosystem dynamics.This volume is a reference for conservation practitioners, climate researchers and forest managers. It addresses contemporary challenges in mountain ecosystems.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This first volume on Himalayan forests discusses the synthesis of Himalayan forest ecosystems. It begins with contextual foundations that establish the environmental background and climate patterns crucial for understanding these mountains. The chapters…provide context through detailed examination of Himalayan climate dynamics and a novel leaf-based classification system, setting the framework for understanding major forest types and associations across elevational gradients.This book places particular emphasis on forest hydrological processes through critical review of water-forest interactions. This then further reveals topographic and climatic factors that govern forest distribution and crucial water regulation services these ecosystems provide to downstream communities. This book covers forest phenology, nutrient cycling, carbon dynamics and productivity and thus demonstrates the intricate functioning of these high-altitude ecosystems.By collating scattered research and enhancing understanding of ecological processes, hydrology and ecosystem functioning, this volume establishes a comprehensive knowledge foundation. The chapter on forest fire focuses on the nature of fire regime, and its ecological implications. The integration of traditional ecological approaches with cutting-edge methodologies provides both theoretical depth and practical applications. Essential for forest researchers, ecosystem ecologists, and graduate students, this volume serves as the definitive reference for understanding Himalayan forests in their unique environmental context.
