Economic valuation of climate induced losses to aquaculture for evaluating climate information services in Bangladesh

Peerzadi Rumana Hossain T.S Amjath-Babu Timothy Joseph Krupnik (2023, [Artículo])

Very little research has focused on climate impacts on aquaculture and the potential of climate information services (CIS) for aquaculture to support sustainable development goals 2030 (SDGs)1. This study represents an effort to bridge this gap by conducting a first ex-ante economic evaluation of CIS for aquaculture in Bangladesh by semi-automating the extraction of data on climate-induced fish losses during 2011 to 2021 from popular online newspaper articles and corroborating them with available government and satellite datasets. During this period, Bangladesh faced an estimated loss of around 140 million USD for hatcheries, open water fish and shrimp. When validated with a year of country-wide official data on climate-induced economic losses to aquaculture, the damage reported from these media sources is approximately 10 percent of actual losses. Given this rule of thumb, the potential economic value of aquacultural CIS could be up to USD14 million a year, if 10 percent of the damage can be offset by appropriate services through a range of multi-sector efforts to establish and extend these services to farmers at scale.

Predicción de los cambios en las curvas de las frecuencias de inundación debido al cambio climático

EFRAIN MATEOS FARFAN Julio Sergio Santana JORGE ARMANDO IBARRA ROMERO ERNESTO AGUILAR GARDUÑO Indalecio Mendoza Uribe JOSÉ ALFREDO MUNDO MOLINA (2013, [Documento de trabajo])

Debido al cambio climático, las presas, que en su gran mayoría se planearon y construyeron décadas atrás, están sometidas a condiciones para las que no fueron diseñadas (por sequías o inundaciones). Por tal motivo, es necesario realizar un análisis sobre el cambio en los patrones de lluvia, frecuencia de crecidas y entradas a las presas que se seleccionaron y que indiquen el comportamiento futuro sobre la precipitación. En este proyecto se realizaron diferentes actividades con el fin de obtener las curvas de las frecuencias intensidad periodo de retorno (i-d-T). Para ello se seleccionó, considerando su distribución e importancia económico - social, e investigó las presas de las cuencas ubicadas en los estados de Chihuahua, México, Michoacán, Guerrero y Chiapas.

Caracterización espacial de redes pluviográficas: caso de la cuenca de la presa Peñitas

René Lobato-Sánchez FRANCISCO JAVIER APARICIO MIJARES Indalecio Mendoza Uribe (2012, [Artículo])

Se presenta una metodología para determinar la importancia relativa de la ubicación de una estación pluviométrica dentro de una red meteorológica o climatológica ya existente. Lo anterior a partir del análisis del error medido a través de su varianza explicada y de un análisis espacial, en donde se considera cada estación. El análisis se realiza mediante la conformación de una malla regularmente espaciada obtenida mediante el esquema de interpolación espacial denominado “Kriging con regresión”, el cual resultó ser la mejor aproximación cuando se trata de incorporar una variable que permita mejorar la estimación espacial en topografías complejas, como es el caso de la cuenca de la presa Peñitas. Mientras mayor sea la diferencia con respecto a la malla de referencia, mayor será su importancia dentro de la red, utilizando para ello la medida del error a través de la raíz del error cuadrático medio (RMSE) entre estas dos mallas. El análisis determina que, en esta cuenca, dependiendo de la temporada (invierno o verano), la importancia de cada estación es diferente; únicamente la estación de Ocotepec mostró que sus observaciones son muy importantes en ambos periodos. Esta metodología es útil cuando se requiere aumentar el número de estaciones pluviométricas, pues ayuda a determinar los sitios donde se espera que las observaciones sean representativas del entorno.

Climate-smart agricultural practices influence the fungal communities and soil properties under major agri-food systems

madhu choudhary ML JAT Parbodh Chander Sharma (2022, [Artículo])

Fungal communities in agricultural soils are assumed to be affected by climate, weather, and anthropogenic activities, and magnitude of their effect depends on the agricultural activities. Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate the impact of the portfolio of management practices on fungal communities and soil physical–chemical properties. The study comprised different climate-smart agriculture (CSA)-based management scenarios (Sc) established on the principles of conservation agriculture (CA), namely, ScI is conventional tillage-based rice–wheat rotation, ScII is partial CA-based rice–wheat–mungbean, ScIII is partial CSA-based rice–wheat–mungbean, ScIV is partial CSA-based maize–wheat–mungbean, and ScV and ScVI are CSA-based scenarios and similar to ScIII and ScIV, respectively, except for fertigation method. All the scenarios were flood irrigated except the ScV and ScVI where water and nitrogen were given through subsurface drip irrigation. Soils of these scenarios were collected from 0 to 15 cm depth and analyzed by Illumina paired-end sequencing of Internal Transcribed Spacer regions (ITS1 and ITS2) for the study of fungal community composition. Analysis of 5 million processed sequences showed a higher Shannon diversity index of 1.47 times and a Simpson index of 1.12 times in maize-based CSA scenarios (ScIV and ScVI) compared with rice-based CSA scenarios (ScIII and ScV). Seven phyla were present in all the scenarios, where Ascomycota was the most abundant phyla and it was followed by Basidiomycota and Zygomycota. Ascomycota was found more abundant in rice-based CSA scenarios as compared to maize-based CSA scenarios. Soil organic carbon and nitrogen were found to be 1.62 and 1.25 times higher in CSA scenarios compared with other scenarios. Bulk density was found highest in farmers' practice (Sc1); however, mean weight diameter and water-stable aggregates were found lowest in ScI. Soil physical, chemical, and biological properties were found better under CSA-based practices, which also increased the wheat grain yield by 12.5% and system yield by 18.8%. These results indicate that bundling/layering of smart agricultural practices over farmers' practices has tremendous effects on soil properties, and hence play an important role in sustaining soil quality/health.

Farmers’ perspectives as determinants for adoption of conservation agriculture practices in Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

Ajay Kumar Mishra ML JAT (2022, [Artículo])

Understanding the farmer's perspective has traditionally been critical to influencing the adoption and out-scaling of CA-based climate-resilient practices. The objective of this study was to investigate the biophysical, socio-economic, and technical constraints in the adoption of CA by farmers in the Western- and Eastern-IGP, i.e., Karnal, Haryana, and Samastipur, Bihar, respectively. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was administered to 50 households practicing CA in Western- and Eastern-IGP. Smallholder farmers (<2 ha of landholding) in Karnal are 10% and Samastipur 66%. About 46% and 8% of households test soil periodically in Karnal and Samastipur, respectively. Results of PCA suggest economic profitability and soil health as core components from the farmer's motivational perspective in Karnal and Samastipur, respectively. Promotion and scaling up of CA technologies should be targeted per site-specific requirements, emphasizing biophysical resource availability, socio-economic constraints, and future impacts of such technology.
