Influenced by the limitations of times, agricultural belief and sacrificial system are developed widely used in traditional society China, Longshen cult is a typical one. Taking Gansu Qing Dynasty as case, this paper considered that temple throughout mainly result correspondence between rain function characteristics climate drought. Based on statistics number temple, spatial distribution map wa...

There is a direct influence of global warming on precipitation. Increased heating leads to greater evaporation and thus surface drying, thereby increasing the intensity and duration of drought. However, the water holding capacity of air increases by about 7% per 1°C warming, which leads to increased water vapor in the atmosphere. Hence, storms, whether individual thunderstorms, extratropical ra...

Seeds and other plant macrofossils were extracted from cores used previously for pollen analysis, and the results are presented in the style of pollen diagrams. The Zone A macroflora is characterized by abundant Picea (spruce) and Larix (tamarack) needles. The remaining species are widely distributed on swampy lake shores, in silty lakes, or in forest-floor communities. The macroflora contains ...

Rainfall is the most important water resource in central and western Sudan, a region affected by the recent drought in Africa. A general methodology for studying the annual rainfall process is presented and applied to data from central and western Sudan. It is assumed that certain time series models adequately describe the annual rainfall process in the region. Based on this assumption, the dro...

Purpose of the study: The thrust of this paper was to explore the adaptive strategies to climate change employed by the vakore kore community in Dande valley of Zimbabwe. Focus was on copping strategies in drought since the area experienced low, un reliable erratic rains the inhabitants of the area rely on the rain fed agriculture.
