A New Perspective on Climate Change and Variability: a Focus on India
نویسنده
چکیده
Using NDVI satellite data, vegetation growth is shown to be closely correlated with precipitation that fell two months earlier. Aerosols are shown to significantly alter the direct and diffuse sunlight that reaches vegetation, which subsequently has an effect on carbon assimilation and transpiration. Population increases are presented as a primary driver of these regional climate changes in India.

متن کاملAssessment of impact of climate change on potato and potential adaptation gains in the Indo-Gangetic Plains of India
India is the second largest producer of potato in the world. The Indo-Gangeticplains (IGP) is the main potato growing region accounting for almost 85% of the1.8 Mha under the crop in India where it is grown as an irrigated crop during thewinter season. Since IGP is in sub-tropical plains, duration of the thermally suitablewindow is the main determinant limiting yields. Hence the impact of clima...

متن کاملClimate change effects on wheat yield and water use in oasis cropland
Agriculture of the inland arid region in Xinjiang depends on irrigation, which forms oasis of Northwest China. The production and water use of wheat, a dominant crop there, is significantly affected by undergoing climate variability and change. The objective of this study is to quantify inter-annual variability of wheat yield and water use from 1955 to 2006. The farming systems model APSIM (Agr...
