Book Description:

This book focuses on the impact of climate change on ecosystems, with a special emphasis on tropical regions, especially Southeast Asia. It includes twenty research topics that cover a range of interdisciplinary issues related to climate driving forces in these areas. The book is a valuable resource for understanding the wide-reaching effects of climate change across various geographical locations and ecosystems, extending across the Indian subcontinent and beyond.

The book examines various critical topics, including:

• The impact of climate change on traditional agriculture in the tribal regions of Manipur (Jhuming).

• The role of botanical garden networks and coastal stability.

• Water resources on islands and the influence of extreme weather conditions.

• Remote sensing data and variations in global temperature and monsoon patterns.

• Mitigation strategies, policy implications, and the importance of adaptation at the household level.

With detailed insights into the physical, biological, and geological systems affected by climate change, this book is an essential reference for anyone concerned with regional climatic trends and responses. Its inclusion of data and studies from under-researched areas makes it a significant contribution to understanding the effects of climate change in the Indian subcontinent.
