چکیده
The present study assessed the household-level biophysical vulnerability to climate variability and extreme events of fish farmers in Kitui East Central Sub counties County, Kenya. employed a descriptive survey design total 60 constituted sample. Carefully selected indicators for exposure sensitivity were used operationalize vulnerability. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was assign weights indicators. Biophysical indices indicated that more vulnerable (3.70) as compared (-0.80). In conclusion, revealed high arid semi-arid lands. Therefore, farmers’ access off-farm income their adaptive capacity should be primary target farming stakeholders lack control over environmental factors increase farmers.

Impacts of climate change on extreme precipitation events in arid (Bandar Abbas) and semi-arid (Shahrekord) stations in Iran
The aim of this paper is to project extreme precipitation events in an arid and a semiarid station. In order to project climate change based on general circulation models (GCMs), we have applied LARS-WG[1] downscaling tool. This stochastic weather generator down-scaled the climate of two synoptic stations using HADCM3 model and A2 emission scenario for 2040. We extracted extreme precipitation e...

متن کاملInvestigation of Sedimentation of Small Catchments under Precipitation Pattern and Basin Characteristics in Arid and Semi-Arid Climate
Splash (raindrop) erosion plays an significant role in soil loss, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with poor vegetation. In this paper, by analyzing the pattern of rainfalls that occurred during 26 years in four basins located in Semnan County, their effect on the pattern of eroded sediments from the basin was investigated. Sedimentary layers from the sampling of retarding reservoir sed...
