the agricultural sector was affected by climate change more than every other sectors, because it is close to nature. in other words, the effects of climate change were been on the farmers’ livelihood. farmers need to entrepreneurial changes for adaptation to climate change in their livelihood. hence, investigation of farmers’ entrepreneurial behavior in response to climate change was the main p...

In the environmental debate, global problems clearly gained importance. Successful international conventions could reduce the threats posed by acid rain, ozone depletion and hazardous wastes. Next to end-of-pipe solutions (like placing scrubbers), cleaner inputs (like low-sulphur coal), cleaner products or retrofit processes (replacing CFCs by HCFCs and HFCs) were available in due course. Acid ...

One of the most visible and widely felt impacts of climate warming is the change (mostly loss) of low-elevation snow cover in the midlatitudes. Snow cover that accumulates at temperatures close to the ice-water phase transition is at greater risk to climate warming than cold climate snowpacks because it affects both precipitation phase and ablation rates. This study maps areas in the Pacific No...

abstarct development of greenhouse gases in future periods not only causes change in average amounts of climate variables but also makes variables of this variability affected. then for sure concerning alternations followed with climate variables’ fluctuations and its average amounts in effecting on runoff would make more reliable results. in this inquiry initially fluctuations and average amou...

Introduction Due to the unprecedented speed of temperature change expected over the course of the 21st century and the lack of direct experience from past changes, models are used to assess the impacts of different scenarios of climate change. Recent research, however, revealed that inconclusive outputs of ecosystem models may occur as a result of instable model dynamics [1-3]. This research pr...

Acid rain still poses a global problem today, exerting many adverse effects on man, animal, and materials. As its research question, the present study tries to find out whether or not acid rains exist in Akure, Nigeria. For so doing, it determines physico-chemical properties of rain water samples, namely pH, temp, Electrical Conductivity (EC), TDS, acidity, SO4-, NO2-, Cl-, and Free CO2. Accord...

• Background • Acid Rain & Cars • Acid Rain & Forests • Acid Rain & Health • Acid Rain & Water • Acid Rain in Europe • Acid Rain in US • Acid Rain Study The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in the aquatic, or water, environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes. Acid rain flows to streams, lakes, and marshes after falling on forests, fields, buildings, and roads. Acid r...
