About the Cover

The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effect of different fertilization treatment on Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Nitrogen (TN) pool in different soil texture up to 0-30cm soil depth during the fallow period of agriculture and to calculate the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from the soil in different fertilizer treatment in three different soil textures. A short term column experiment was done on three different soil texture, loamy, sandy loam and siltyclay, subjected to six treatments: 1) Organic Manure(OM), 2) Chemical fertilizer(CF), 3)7OM:3CF(70%Organic Manure +30% Chemical Fertilizer) 4) 5OM:5CF (50% Organic Manure +50% Chemical Fertilizer) 5) 3OM:7CF (30 % Organic Manure +70 % Chemical Fertilizer) and 6)CK (Check, means Without Fertilizer treatment). Amount of Carbon di oxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere from the soil by using different fertilizer treatment in three different soil textures was calculated on the basis of the percentage change in TOC and comparative analysis was done in various permutation and combinations of fertilizer treatment and soil texture. The result of multiple regression taking OM and sandy loam as reference in fertilizer treatment and soil texture respectively reveals that if we shift from OM to CF treatment in sandy loam, loam or siltyclay soil, the potential of additional amount of CO2 release in the atmosphere from one hectare agriculture land would be 40.10, 40.21, 40.62 tons respectively.

Effect of different fertilizer treatment and soil texture on the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere from the soil

Poonam Kumari, Arvind Kumar Nema

The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effect of different fertilization treatment on Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Nitrogen (TN) pool in different soil texture up to 0-30cm soil depth during the fallow period of agriculture and to calculate the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere from the soil in different fertilizer treatment in three different soil textures.

Rainfall variability analysis over north-west India in context to climate change using GIS

Mohan Singh, Ram Niwas

The weather data for the period of more than 30 years 1980 onward of twenty-two meteorological stations located in arid, semi-arid and humid agro-climatic zones in the hills and plains of north-west India were used in this study. The collected rainfall data was computed as normal rainfall for annual, seasonal, decadal at each station, hills, plains and north-west India.

Coastal livelihood vulnerability improvement of rural farmers to climate change in Bagerhat district of Bangladesh

Borhan Uddin, Irteja Hasan, Golam Rabbani Akanda, Sanaul Haque, Shafiqul Islam

The study aimed at determining livelihood improvement of the farmers due to embankment establishment at Bagerhat Sadar Upzila of Bagerhat district and the relationships of 10 selected characteristics of them to their extent of livelihood improvement were also explored. Data were collected from a sample of 112 farmers rather than the population.

Oil Spill Pollution on the Cat Ba Island in northern Vietnam

Doan Quang Tri, Nguyen Thi Mai Linh

A 2D oil spill model was applied for the simulation and prediction of oil spill pollution on Cat Ba Island, the northeast Vietnam. The oil spill model has comprised of there modules: Wind-wave module, hydrodynamic module, and spill analysis module in this paper. GIS software was used to establish biological environment surveys and coastal ecosystem maps in the study areas.

Perspective

Forest fires from the perspective of environmental psychology

Jaime Senabre

Forest fires are a global environmental problem influenced by numerous causal factors. They must be conceived as a latent risk in current societies that can compromise the economic and social development of future generations, especially in rural areas. In Spain, thousands of hectares of forest and agricultural land are destroyed annually.

Phenological shifts due to climate change and the associated conservation threats

Rameez Nazir Rather, Aijaz A Wani, Mahpara Kashtwari, Zahoor A Beigh

Phenology a routine agricultural practice of past centuries has emerged fast as a very important discipline in global climate change research. Phenology can be a helping hand to various adaptation and mitigation efforts to counter or at least slow down the magnitude and range of conservation threats posed by global climate change.

Opinion

An overview of climate change impact in fisheries and aquaculture

Ruby P, Ahilan B

Fish can play a major role in satisfying the palates of the world’s growing middle income group while also meeting the food security needs of the poorest. Already, fish represents 16 percent of all animal protein consumed globally. Coastal communities will be among the first to be impacted by changes in the oceans due to climate change.
