With the increase of climate change associated risks, enhanced understanding of the impact of climate change and related phenomena on the potential distribution of agroforestry is increasingly useful and necessary, for both maintaining and improving yield and ecosystem function. In particular, increased understanding of these issues is crucial to identify both "how" and "where" efficient and systematic response mechanisms can be developed in advance to provide an array of adaptation options. Choosing the appropriate tree crop for current and future suitable location is a first important step and primary aspect in developing agroforestry systems that would meet regional needs for adaptation, mitigation, and ecological restoration.

Replication data for: Yield and household consumption of Rhododendron arboreum as a fuelwood species in Eastern Nepal
This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/24964Contribution of R. arboreum to total... more This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/24964Contribution of R. arboreum to total annual fuelwood consumption quantitatively assessed. Removal of biomass of R. arboreum was f ound to be higher than biomass addition, threatening the species distribution. Growth ring analysis revealed very slow increment in diameter and hence in biomass. Fuelwood harvesting, slow increment and slow growth identified as main causes of declining biomass.
Replication Data for: Farmers' Perceptions of and Adaptations to Changing Climate in the Melamchi Valley of Nepal

This case study explored those issues in the Melamchi Valley of Nepal through a survey of 365 households and focus group discussions in 6 communities using a Community-Based Risk Screening Tool–Adaptation and Livelihoods (CRiSTAL). Analysis of climate trends in the study area for 1979–2009 showed that mean annual temperatures rose by 1.02uC and the frequency of drought increased measurably after 2003. Farmers reported increases in crop pests, hailstorms, landslides, floods, thunderstorms, and erratic precipitation as climate-related hazards affecting agriculture. They responded in a variety of ways including changing farming practices, selling livestock, milk, and eggs, and engaging in daily wage labor and seasonal labor migration. With more efficient support and plan...
