Strategies to limit climate change are complementary to efforts to adapt to it. [10]: 128 Limiting warming, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and removing them from the atmosphere, is also known as climate change mitigation. [citation needed] There are some synergies or co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation. Synergies include the ...
Change is the rule, though much depends on the speed and degree of the change. When the habitat changes, three main things may happen to a resident population: habitat tracking, genetic change or extinction. In fact, all three things may occur in sequence. Of these three effects only genetic change brings about adaptation.
In the life sciences the term adaptability is used variously. At one end of the spectrum, the ordinary meaning of the word suffices for understanding. At the other end, there is the term as introduced by Conrad, [3] referring to a particular information entropy measure of the biota of an ecosystem, or of any subsystem of the biota, such as a population of a single species, a single individual ...
May 19—One of my favorite teachers, Jane Evinger, emphasized that transitions are a key to writing. Until today, I never consciously considered writing a story about them. But it seems ...
Adaptive capacity in the context of climate change covers human, natural, or managed systems. It looks at how they respond to both climate variability and extremes. It covers the ability of a system to adjust to climate change to moderate potential damages, to take advantage of opportunities, or to cope with consequences. [ 11 ]
Acculturation is a process of social, psychological, and cultural change that stems from the balancing of two cultures while adapting to the prevailing culture of the society. Acculturation is a process in which an individual adopts, acquires and adjusts to a new cultural environment as a result of being placed into a new culture, or when ...
Climate-smart agriculture works as an integrated approach to managing land. This approach helps farmers to adapt their agricultural methods (for raising livestock and crops) to the effects of climate change. [2] The most effective approach to enhancing climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is to involve the relevant organizations and government.
