Impact of Climate Change on Water Resources in Agriculture 7 Forests , Land Use Change , and Water
A forest is a biotic community predominated by trees and woody vegetation that are signifi cantly taller, greater, thicker, and deeper than other vegetation types and generally covers a large area (Chang, 2003). Forests cover approximately 26.2% of the world, with 45.7% of Latin America and the Caribbean being covered, 35% of East Asia and the Pacifi c, and 35% of the European Union. Canada and...
متن کاملImpact of land use change on soil erodibility
Vulnerability of soil separates to detachment by water is described as soil erodibility by Universal Soil Loss Equation which can be affected by land use change. In this study it was attempted to quantify the changes of Universal Soil Loss Equation K-factor and its soil driving factors in three land uses including rangeland, rainfed farming, and orchards in Babolrood watershed, northern Iran. S...
متن کاملClimate Change Impact on Catchment Hydrology & Water Resources for Selected Catchments in Ireland
This paper analyses the likely impacts of changes in climate for nine hydrologically diverse catchments throughout Ireland. When assessing the impacts of climate change on water resources there is a cascade of uncertainty that begins with the establishment of future pathways of development and ends with impact assessment (Wilby, 2005). In order to represent uncertainty in future simulations, st...
متن کاملImpact of urban land cover change on land surface temperature
The rapid growth in urban population is seen to create a need for the development of more urban infrastructures. In order to meet this need, natural surfaces such as vegetation are been replaced with non-vegetated surfaces such as asphalt and bricks which has the ability to absorb heat and release it later. This change in land cover is seen to increase the land surface temperature. Previous stu...
متن کاملExamining the Impacts of Land-Use Change on Hydrologic Resources
The research community over the past several years has put a great effort into studying the potential impacts of a changing climate. But the issues that face the world today encompass greater change than just that of climate. For instance, there are changes due to population dynamics (such as migration), economics, and the way that land is used. Water resources are affected specifically by chan...
