Understanding the impact of climate change on the birch forests of the west Himalaya

The west Himalayan treeline is dominated by Himalayan Silver Birch (Betula utilis) which is recognised as an ecosystem sensitive to climate change. We propose mechanistic studies on birch survival and reproduction at treelines in two locations i.e.,

STRENGTHENING THE STATE CLIMATE CHANGE CENTRE UNDER NATIONAL MISSION OF SUSTAINING THE HIMALAYAN ECOSYSTEM SCCC-2nd Phase FOR THE STATE OF MEGHALAYA

Climate variability in the Himalayan State is causing significant threats, including rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and increasing intensities of extreme events. The state, being a natural resource-rich and biodiversity hotspot, is at risk of

Developing InfoCrop - sesame model for assessing climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability

India, the fourth leading oilseeds producer globally, contributes about 19% of the world's oilseed area but only 2.7% of production. Despite having diverse agro-ecological environments, India imports a significant amount of edible oil, costing excheq

Impact of Climate Change on Permafrost and Cryoconites in North Western Himalaya

The Earth's cryosphere is comprised of vast areas of sea ice, ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost and snow. Due to the extremely harsh conditions, such habitats are generally considered less diverse to be devoid of life. Cryoconite holes and the presenc

Influence of Terrestrial Feedbacks on Rainfall and Assessment of Droughts and Extremes Under Climate Change

The study aims to understand the moisture source for precipitation in the Indian subcontinent, which is crucial for agricultural, domestic, and industrial production. The summer rainfall is influenced by atmospheric moisture transport and regional la

Assessment and modelling of carbon and nitrogen dynamics in tropical forests of Eastern Ghats, Andhra Pradesh in response to climate change

A major global challenge is the urgent need to bend the curve of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration. Forests offer a great potential for net negative carbon (C) emissions via their net C uptake and, thus, play a role in C mitigatio

Understanding the mechanistic basis of the plastic and adaptive response to range shift under climate change: A case study of long and short-distance migrant redstarts.

Assessing the impacts of climate change is a critical challenge in this epoch of rapid environmental change. Most climate change assessment studies focus on species redistribution along the thermal axis to higher latitudes or elevations. Such a shift

Forecasting distribution and connectivity of Asiatic black bears Ursus thibetanus under climate change and human impacts through the lens of landscape genetics in North-Western Himalaya

Climate change and land use changes are expected to significantly impact mountain ecosystems, particularly in the Himalaya region. These impacts include shifts in distribution along elevational gradients, changes in phenology, delayed hibernation, re
