Climate diversity in line with agroforestry systems: studying technicalities of agroforestry systems and allied components in two diverse climatic regions (Warm climate vs. cold climate) (Case study: Kazeroun & Sepidan in Fars Province, I.R.Iran)

Authors

Abstract:

There has been some decline in the land potential capacity in many developing countries, and depending on location,the multi objective management strategy of Agroforestry can make effective use of natural resources to be feasible.Environmental principles which are effective on Agroforestry systems and their components, together with climaticfactors, are the important parameters which been evaluated in this study. Two cities, Kazeroun (with warm climate) andSepidan (with cold climate) in Fars province, were chosen for the purpose of this research, and after proper identificationand classification of the Agroforestry systems, the effects of climatic factors were analyzed. Nineteen points wereidentified in these two cities by field investigations, with each type of Agroforestry systems and their correspondingcomponents determined in each point. From the results, most of the systems in Kazeroun, characterized with warmclimate, were Agrosilvopastoral, while Sepidan with a characteristic cold climate was the Agrosilvicultural system. Also,the components of each system clearly changed with change in climate, owing to the great importance of the livestock andcrop components in Kazeroun and Sepidan, respectively. In general, it can be concluded that the impact of climatic factorson Agroforestry systems and their components has been approved in this study, and the results can be applied indeveloping these systems in other regions.

Techno-Economic Assessment of Different Inlet Air Cooling Systems in Warm Dry & Wet Climate Stations

Performance of a gas turbine mainly depends on the inlet air temperature. The power output of a gas turbine depends on the flow of mass through it. This is precisely the reason why on hot days, when air is less dense, power output falls. The objective here is to assess the advanced systems applied in reducing the gas turbine intake air temperature and examine the merits from integration of the ...

Evaluation of Off-grid Hybrid Renewable Systems in the Four Climate Regions of Iran

Renewable systems influence the process of supplying domestic electricity demands. It will be useful to replace the conventional energy generation system by renewable energy sources since the uncontrolled use of fossil fuels is accompanied by global warming and environmental hazards, in addition to the danger of their depletion, and because most of the energy derived from these fuels are used i...

Knowledge Systems in Agroforestry

Pacific Islands agroforestry has evolved into sustainable, diverse and productive a land use systems in many areas. We marvel at these systems, and the scientific world is trying to catch up with the traditional knowledge. At the same time, Pacific Islands farmers are abandoning their agroforestry systems in great numbers. It is mainly intensified agriculture for cash crop production that follo...
