Understanding Adaptive Capacity in Forest Governance: Editorial
INTRODUCTION AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: UNDERSTANDING ADAPTIVE CAPACITY The term adaptive capacity has often been used to indicate the role that various factors may play in determining the extent to which adaptation to climate change different actions to deal with the consequences of climate change is possible. While the focus on adaptive capacity has been pronounced within climate change liter...
متن کاملUnderstanding adaptive capacity and capacity to innovate in social–ecological systems: Applying a gender lens
Development policy increasingly focuses on building capacities to respond to change (adaptation), and to drive change (innovation). Few studies, however, focus specifically on the social and gender differentiation of capacities to adapt and innovate. We address this gap using a qualitative study in three communities in Solomon Islands; a developing country, where rural livelihoods and well-bein...
متن کاملAssessing the Adaptive Capacity of Collaboratively Managed Rangelands: A Test of the Concept and Comparison of 3 Rangeland CBCs
The aim of this project was to develop a conceptual framework and analysis tools to assess the adaptive capacity of community-based collaborative groups (CBCs), to test these tools by applying them to three rangeland collaboratives, and to identify factors that contribute to the adaptive capacity of CBCs. We developed a conceptual framework for assessing the adaptive capacity of CBCs and used t...
متن کاملUnderstanding variability in ethanol teratogenicity.
Ethanol is the most widely used psychoactive drug and, when used inappropriately, can have deleterious effects. The developing fetus is particularly sensitive to the deleterious effects of ethanol. Fetal alcohol exposure causes Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), which have an estimated prevalence reaching 1% in North America (1). FASD are associated with defects to numerous organs, includ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Spatial Variability and Anisotropy of Soils on Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations
Naturally occurred soil deposits inherit heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength properties. The main purpose of this paper is to model the soil stratum with anisotropy consideration and spatially varying undrained shear strength by using random field theory coupled with finite difference numerical analysis to evaluate their effect on the bearing capacity of the shallow foundations. In t...
