Abstract:

Symbiotic biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a complex process that involves rhizobia, a diverse group of α and β-proteobacteria bacteria, and legume species. Benefits provided by BNF associated with legume trees in tropical environments include improvements to efficiency of nitrogen (N) use, increase of soil carbon sequestration, stabilization of soil organic matter, decrease of soil penetration resistance, and improvement of soil fertility. All these benefits make BNF a crucial ecosystem service to the sustainability of tropical agriculture. Due to the importance of this ecological process and the high diversity of rhizobia, these bacteria have been extensively characterized worldwide. Currently, over 400 species of rhizobia are known, distributed into seven families. In the humid tropics, Leucaena leucocephala, Acacia mangium, Gliricidia sepium, and Clitoria fairchildiana are four of the most common species used by family farmers to create sustainable agricultural systems. These four legumes perform symbiosis with different groups of rhizobia. Exploring BNF could help to enable sustainable intensification of agriculture in the humid tropics, mainly because it can increase N use efficiency in an environment where N is a limiting factor to plant growth.

Abstract:

The research was aimed at identifying the determinants of goat farmers’ choice of adaptation methods to climatic change in South east Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to identify the farmers’ adaptation methods, identify the determinants of choice of the adaptation methods, the limiting factors to farmers’ adaptation options in the study area. A total of 120 famers were selected using multistage random sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentage responses and multi- nominal logit model and factor analysis. The adaptation strategies used by the goat farmers were use of use of nutrient-dense diets, drinking water, planting of tree as shade and location of house in the farm. Additionally, the effects of goat production to the environment were deforestation, land degradation, climate change, air pollution and rodent menace. In addition, goat Production technologies to curtail environmental pollution were precious feed management, litter management, use of hydrophilic products, use of rat poison and trap, adequate housing and proper manure disposal. The factors influencing farmers’ choice of adaptation methods were level of education, membership of cooperative, farming experience, poor access to extension services and access to credit. The determinant factors to the adoption of goat production related environmental technologies were level of education, extension visit, off farm income, farming experience and membership of organization. The result also showed that the major factors limiting factors to adoption of the technologies were poor access to funds, poor access to improved technology and poor access to heat resistant goat breed. There is need to enhance farmers’ access to credit, extension services and educational programs

Abstract:

Thermal comfort, which used to be a luxury in life has transformed into a necessity in modern lives. Tropical country such as Malaysia has hot and humid climate all year round. Much air conditioning is required in tropical countries to provide thermal comfort for indoor occupants. Fangers model is deterministic as it regards the heat fluxes across the boundary between humans and their thermal environment. Fangers model is adopted by ASRHAE Standard 55 in 1992 but it has over-predicted thermal preferences of those living in tropics. Malaysians who are used to hot and humid climates prefer warmer indoor temperature, as hypothesized in adaptive model. Adaptive model is said to predict thermal comfort more accurately than Fangers model as it relates the indoor comfortable temperature to outdoor air temperature. The objective of this research is to integrate the adaptive theories into Fangers model and to synthesize a new thermal comfort model which is expected to accurately predict thermal comfort in tropical countries. As the adaptive theory says that not all peoples thermal preferences are affected by thermal histories and contextual factors, the new model has proposed a broader operation range of PMV for air conditioner. The increment of PMV range from ±1.0 to ±1.17 for 80% satisfaction requirement is proved to applicable in Malaysia.

Abstract:

The chapter examines the intertwined movement of indigenous letters and bodies in the March to the East. In an array of letters Andeans demanded they take part in colonization in the 1950s and then denounced its shortcomings in the following decade. The chapter follows their petitions as they traveled from highland hamlets and humid settlement zones to the halls of government. Letters produced in the Andes in the 1950s and 1960s painted a provocative portrait of desperate situations in home communities with the promise and allure of the tropical environment of the lowlands. Writers attempted to shame the state by emphasizing their struggles as migrant laborers or braceros in neighboring Argentina and demanded land as part of the state’s commitments to its own revolutionary legacy. Along the lowland frontier, the reality of colonization failed to match the harmonious human experiment depicted in state propaganda. Government officials blamed a high rate of settler abandonment in new colonization zones on the “backwards” cultural practices of Indigenous migrants. Settlers flung this accusation back on the state, claiming that the MNR had abandoned them. Each group would cast failure as the justification for new rounds of intervention or radicalism in the following decades.

Abstract:

As elsewhere, the major cities of Southeast Asia suffer from traffic congestion, air pollution, water supply shortages, garbage disposal inefficiencies, and sewage treatment inadequacies (Barrow 1981). Such problems are not confined to the capital cities and other centres of over a million population. They are prevalent, and often worse, in hundreds of smaller towns of a thousand to a million inhabitants. Most such urban centres have a large proportion of poor, ill-housed people who have difficulty in doing anything to improve their environment. At the same time, the bigger cities will also have some select, well-managed, often walled and gated, suburbs where the quality of housing and water and sanitation services is excellent. However, all social groups may be vulnerable to the air pollution and disease risks associated with a generally poor urban environment. Floods, landslides, and subsidence also do not distinguish the wealth or social status of their victims. These multiple, overlapping urban environmental problems are a response to a complex set of causes or drivers. The character of cities and towns in tropical Southeast Asia is driven in part by the types of human activity within and around them and in part by the environment in which they are situated. The hot and often humid climate has increasingly led to changes in house design from buildings with verandas and arcades designed to be cooled by natural air flows, to more boxlike structures dependent on air conditioning. The exhausts from the air conditioners inevitably add heat to the outside air, warming the immediate urban environment, often making the narrow streets of many cities hotter and more uncomfortable than they otherwise would be. The design and character of buildings are governed by environmental, aesthetic, functional, and cost considerations. In part building styles reflect the type of shelter needed and in part they make statements about their owners and the activities which go on inside them. It is the same with the settlement as a whole. A town or village has features that help it to cope with the natural environment around it, especially heavy rains and strong winds.

Abstract:

Despite its international designation as a hotspot of biodiversity and tropical deforestation (Achard et al. 1988), the micro-scale land-cover mapping of southern Yucatán peninsular region remains surprisingly incomplete, hindering various kinds of research, including that proposed in the SYPR project. This chapter details the methodology for the thematic classification and change detection of land use and cover in the tropical sub-humid environment of the region. A hybrid approach using principal components and texture analyses of Landsat TM data enabled the distinction of land-cover classes at the local scale, including mature and secondary forest, savannas, and cropland/pasture. Results indicate that texture analysis increases the statistical separability of cover class signatures, the magnitude of improvement varying among pairs of land-cover classes. At a local level, the availability of exhaustive training site data over recent history (10–13 years) in a repository of highly detailed land-use sketch maps allows the distinction of greater numbers of land-cover classes, including three successional stages of vegetation. At the regional scale, finely detailed land-cover classes are aggregated for greater ability to generalize in a terrain wherein vegetation exhibits marked regional and seasonal variation in intra-class spectral properties. Post-classification change detection identifies the quantities and spatial pattern of major land-cover changes in a ten-year period in the region. Change analysis results indicate an average annual rate of deforestation of 0.4 per cent, with much regional variation and most change located at three subregional hotspots. Deforestation as well as successional regrowth is highest in a southern hotspot located in the newly colonized southern part of the region, an area where commercial chili production is large. The objectives of this chapter are to describe and evaluate: (1) an experimental methodology that iteratively combines three suites of image-processing techniques (PCA, texture transformation, and NDVI); (2) the statistical separability of distinct land-cover signatures; and (3) a post-classification change detection for the region from 1987 to 1997 in order to derive regional deforestation rates, and identify the spatial pattern of deforestation and secondary forest succession. Specifically, a region encompassing 18,700km2 (those land units completely within the defined region; Fig. 7.1) was mapped using a maximum likelihood supervised classification of lower-order principal components of Landsat TM imagery after tasseled-cap and texture transformations.
