📖 About the Book

"Climate Change Impact on Ecosystem" is a comprehensive exploration of the climate driving forces from the South East Asia region. The book covers twenty research topics, drawn from different geographical locations and ecosystems across the Indian subcontinent and beyond. These studies highlight the impact of climate change on various sectors such as agriculture, biodiversity, and water resources, making it a unique interdisciplinary resource.

The book addresses critical aspects such as Jhuming (traditional agriculture) in the tribal regions of Manipur, botanical garden networks, coastal stability, water resources in islands, the use of remote sensing data to monitor extreme weather conditions, and the global temperature variations in relation to the monsoon. It provides basic data and information on how climate change is impacting physical, biological, and geological systems, as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies.

One of the key features of the book is its focus on mitigation and adaptation at the grassroots level, specifically how families and households can play a pivotal role in managing climate impacts.
