Book excerpt: An interdisciplinary and quantitative account of human claims on the biosphere's stores of living matter, from prehistoric hunting to modern energy production. The biosphere—the Earth's thin layer of life—dates from nearly four billion years ago, when the first simple organisms appeared. Many species have exerted enormous influence on the biosphere's character and productivity, but none has transformed the Earth in so many ways and on such a scale as Homo sapiens. In Harvesting the Biosphere, Vaclav Smil offers an interdisciplinary and quantitative account of human claims on the biosphere's stores of living matter, from prehistory to the present day. Smil examines all harvests—from prehistoric man's hunting of megafauna to modern crop production—and all uses of harvested biomass, including energy, food, and raw materials. Without harvesting of the biomass, Smil points out, there would be no story of human evolution and advancing civilization; but at the same time, the increasing extent and intensity of present-day biomass harvests are changing the very foundations of civilization's well-being. In his detailed and comprehensive account, Smil presents the best possible quantifications of past and current global losses in order to assess the evolution and extent of biomass harvests. Drawing on the latest work in disciplines ranging from anthropology to environmental science, Smil offers a valuable long-term, planet-wide perspective on human-caused environmental change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Main Focus Of The Work Has Been On The Agrarian Relations Of The Zomi Of Manipur, An Ethnic Group Formerly Known As The Chin-Kuki-Mizo Groups Living In The Southern Parts Of Manipur Hills Bordering Myanmar And The Mizoram State Of India. Virtually Isolated And Backward, The Agrarian Relations Prevailing In The Zomi Economy Are Conspicuous By The Overriding Influence Of The Traditional Chieftainship. Jhum Cultivation Or Slash And Burn Have Been The Mainstay Of The Economy In Spite Of Not Being Able To Meet The Increasing Demand Of The Ever-Growing Population. The Book, Inter Alia, Analyses The Expensive And Destructive Character Of Jhum In The Light Of The Scarce Land Mass Available For Cultivation. It Also Takes Into Account Its Long-Term Ecological Impact Over The Entire Resources Of The Economy.It Also Looks Into The Deteriorating Condition Of The Farmers Or Cultivators Who Had No Rights Over The Land They Cultivate. The Book Shows How And Why Such Jhum Cultivation Of The Land Has Increasingly Led To Meager Yield Per Acre As Well As Labour.Besides, The Volume Makes An Analytical Study Of Land As An Important Resource Input Particularly For An Agricultural Economy. The Effect And Implementation Of The Manipur Land Revenue & Land Reforms Act 1960 Respectively In The Valley And Hill Areas Of The State Was Also Treated Rather Comprehensively. Similarly, A Chapter Is Devoted To Examine The Extent Of Rural Poverty And Unemployment In India A Whole. As A Result Of The Sample Survey Conducted For The Purpose, The Book Clearly Shows The Magnitude And Widespread Nature Of Poverty In The Economy (Zomi Economy).Another Feature Of The Book Is The Attempt It Makes To Review Related Literatures On The Agrarian Relations As A Whole. For Planners And Decision Makers The Book Will Be Of Immense Help So Far As Rural Development Planning Decision Is Concerned.

This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the global effects of land degradation, but emphasizes other important levels of land degradation: at the field level, it may result in reduced productivity; at the national level, it may cause flooding, and sedimentation; and, at the global level, it can contribute to climate changes, damaging bio-diversity, and international waters. The effects on climate changes are explored, and the report questions the extent to which land degradation on agricultural land, affects climate change. Does it increase emissions of greenhouse gases? Does it affect land's capacity to serve as a carbon sink? Can appropriate management enhance both land's productivity, and its capacity to store carbon? The carbon cycle in soils is analyzed, indicating land degradation is likely to reduce the ability of soils to serve as carbon sink, and release stored carbon into the atmosphere, and, bio-diversity effects are likely to be adverse. Global benefits of land degradation control, include afforestation, to allow increased carbon sequestration, and provide adequate bio-diversity habitats; and, community-based wildlife management, can provide alternatives to some marginal areas. Although integrating global dimensions into land degradation control projects, may reverse the field level, or national problems it is causing, difficulties and constraints will likely contribute to the failure of these projects.

Download or read book Shifting Cultivation and Environmental Change written by Malcolm F. Cairns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 1405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting cultivation is one of the oldest forms of subsistence agriculture and is still practised by millions of poor people in the tropics. Typically it involves clearing land (often forest) for the growing of crops for a few years, and then moving on to new sites, leaving the earlier ground fallow to regain its soil fertility. This book brings together the best of science and farmer experimentation, vividly illustrating the enormous diversity of shifting cultivation systems as well as the power of human ingenuity. Some critics have tended to disparage shifting cultivation (sometimes called 'swidden cultivation' or 'slash-and-burn agriculture') as unsustainable due to its supposed role in deforestation and land degradation. However, the book shows that such indigenous practices, as they have evolved over time, can be highly adaptive to land and ecology. In contrast, 'scientific' agricultural solutions imposed from outside can be far more damaging to the environment and local communities. The book focuses on successful agricultural strategies of upland farmers, particularly in south and south-east Asia, and presents over 50 contributions by scholars from around the world and from various disciplines, including agricultural economics, ecology and anthropology. It is a sequel to the much praised "Voices from the Forest: Integrating Indigenous Knowledge into Sustainable Upland Farming" (RFF Press, 2007), but all chapters are completely new and there is a greater emphasis on the contemporary challenges of climate change and biodiversity conservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting cultivation supports around 200 million people in the Asia-Pacific region alone. It is often regarded as a primitive and inefficient form of agriculture that destroys forests, causes soil erosion and robs lowland areas of water. These misconceptions and their policy implications need to be challenged. Swidden farming could support carbon sequestration and conservation of land, biodiversity and cultural heritage. This comprehensive analysis of past and present policy highlights successes and failures and emphasizes the importance of getting it right for the future. This book is enhanced with supplementary resources. The addendum chapters can be found at: www.cabi.org/openresources/91797
