Helminth Parasitism in Rodents in Bamboo Growing Areas of Mizoram: Potential Candidates for Biological Control/Veena Tandon and C. Malsawmtluangi. Index. The factors that cause flowering in bamboos remain a botanical mystery. Many causes have been attributed to trigger gregarious flowering in bamboo but it has not been possible to establish their consistency. People believe that famine, death and natural disasters are associated events of bamboo flowering. Death of large populations of bamboos spread over large tracts of forest areas in Asia-Pacific region has been a cause of concern owing to the ecological, social and economic crises that set forth following bamboo flowering. During gregarious flowering, large quantities of seeds are produced. Many animals, particularly rodents feed on these nutritious seeds and reproduce fast to increase their population sizes. Once the seeds are exhausted due to germination, the rats/rodents depend on crops in the vicinity, thus causing famine. Considering the technological, scientific, socio-economic and environmental consequences of bamboo flowering and associated growth of rodent populations, the menace of bamboo flowering remains as a challenge. The book Bamboo flowering and rodent control includes 12 papers representing different dimensions of the subject authored by well-known Indian and Taiwan scientists, is an attempt to address this scientific challenge.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Preface. 1. Impact of climate change: an overview. 2. Materials and method. 3. Socio-economic profile of the study villages. 4. Nature and extent of biodiversity. 5. Peoples perceptions on climate change coping mechanisms and adaptive strategies. 6. Community perceptions and implications for adaptive policy making. References. Appendices. Index. The present book is based on a study undertaken to investigate the perceptions of the people on climate change and the adaptive strategies as perceived by them in case of such an eventuality.This micro level study was designed specifically to:(I) Document the peoples perception on climate change;(II) Understand the adaptation options that the community perceives;(III) Document the changes in both wild and domesticated biodiversity that is perceived by the people to be affected by climate change;(IV) Investigate the possible coping role of the local resources such as forests and biodiversity in case of any climate-change related eventuality, and(V) Assess the existing institutional capacities to cope up with the eventualities and suggest effective institutional mechanism for the future.The possible impacts of climate change in the study area were analyzed and the study focused on such natural disasters as drought, flash floods, increased temperature, erratic rainfall which are experienced at these low/mid-elevation zones of Himalaya/sub-Himalaya region.…
