The main aim of this study is to examine the evolving landscape agricultural socialized services and their impact on consistent growth grain production in China. Using panel data from 2007 2020, we employ Entropy Method gauge dynamic changes that have contributed steady increase production. research methods include static panel, mediator, threshold regression models investigate effects mechanisms underpinning improvement growth. empirical findings demonstrate a significantly positive correlation between enhanced services, such as means sci-tech information social public increased This persists even with limited resources. A mediating effect was identified, whereby indirectly stimulate by encouraging large-scale land management. Furthermore, analysis indicates presence single linked level socialization services. plays pivotal role relationship management suggests an enhancement can promote sustained

This study evaluates sweet orange farmers' understanding of climate change impacts on farming in Nigeria. A survey was conducted among 480 farmers across six key orange-producing states, with 418 completed questionnaires analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed that 78% were male, 61% used pesticides for pest control, 34.92% managed between 1 3 acres farms. data underwent rigorous validation the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Bartlett's tests (p < 0.05), confirming its suitability factor analysis. Six factors shaping perceptions identified: production volume, high-temperature effects, prolonged dry seasons, shifting rainfall patterns, flooding incidence, poor seedling performance. To mitigate impacts, three major adaptation strategies highlighted: (i) regular timely dissemination climate-related information to (36.33%), (ii) enhanced government support through access credit, extension services, public lectures, outreach programmes, agrochemical subsidies (23.38%), (iii) promotion heat-resistant seeds seedlings (11.50%). Policy recommendations include establishment a climate-resilient agricultural framework integrates climate-smart techniques into services. should prioritise financial smallholder enhance adaptive capacity. Additionally, investment research develop distribute be intensified. Collaboration meteorological agencies officers strengthened ensure receive accurate, weather forecasts. Lastly, policymakers design region-specific policies sustainable production. Further is recommended assess long-term effectiveness these sustaining under changing climatic conditions.

Consequently, the industry's adverse effects on ecological environment have become increasingly apparent [3].According to latest research by United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) [4], tourism sector contributes 4.9% of global CO 2 emissions, with a substantial 14% contribution greenhouse effect [3][4][5].Furthermore, emissions from world industry are escalating at an annual average rate 2.5%.In 2019, China recorded staggering numbers 1.28 billion inbound tourists and 3.61 domestic [6].Such extensive activities inevitably result

Abstract Forest ecosystems play a crucial role in regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigating climate change. This research aimed to evaluate the GHG of various sources within forested assess their respective contributions global warming potential (GWP), vital for developing more targeted strategies mitigate change, shaping policies, carbon accounting, sustainable forest management, advancing scientific comprehension ecosystem-climate dynamics. The study comprehensively analysed dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 nitrous oxide (N O) EDGAR data deforestation, fires, natural processes such as organic soil decomposition ecosystems. assessment quantified CO equivalent each category from 1990 2022 forecasted till 2030. Our forecast shows that deforestation could reach between 3,990 4,529 metric ton (Mt) by 2030, with fires contributing an additional 750 Mt. Forestland absorption is expected decline -5134.80 Mt There uncertainty surrounding forecasts Organic (829.78 Mt) Other land (-764.53 Mt). In addition, was significant contributor emissions, GWP ranging 4000 4500, highlighting complex interplay human activities atmospheric patterns.

Understanding the cycle of carbon emissions resulting from agricultural practices is critical for evaluating their effect on environmental quality. This study investigates influence corn production quality across six major producing provinces in China: Hebei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hubei, Shandong, and Sichuan, using panel datasets spanning 1990 to 2022. Utilizing a robust methodological framework advanced econometric techniques such as Panel Mean Group Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (PMG-ARDL), Quantile Regressions (PQR), Least Square regression (PLSR), this offers comprehensive analysis both short-term long-term impacts several inputs, GDP, temperature The findings reveal significant contributions use water, credit, fertilizers use, indicating costs associated with intensive practices. shows have negative relationship production. results PMG-ARDL are consistent those obtained PQR, PLSQR analyses, demonstrating strong positive correlations between loans, fertilizer water usage, emissions. Dumitrescu Hurlin show unidirectional causation pesticide temperature, bidirectional causal emissions, production, credit. underscores need policies that balance productivity quality, suggesting directions future research explore diverse systems incorporate more dynamic modeling approaches better understand mitigate agriculture.

Climate change poses significant challenges to smallholder farmers, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where agriculture is highly vulnerable changing climatic conditions. This study examines the socioeconomic determinants influencing adoption of strategies for adapting climate among farmers Mbombela, South Africa. A quantitative research approach was employed, using structured questionnaires collect data from 308 randomly selected farmers. Furthermore, utilised binary logistic regression analyse relationship between factors and adaptation strategies. The results revealed that gender, age, income sources, access information, cooperative membership significantly influenced farmers’ Findings further showed female older those relying solely on farming were less likely adopt strategies, while younger with diversified sources more embrace Moreover, found information negatively associated negative association may be attributed inefficiencies current dissemination, climate-related not tailored specific needs or structures effectively facilitate knowledge sharing collective action. concludes targeted interventions, such as gender-sensitive policies, livelihood diversification, improved extension services, strengthened structures, are essential enhance adaptive capacity.

Climate change is expected to have differential impacts on different zones. In this study, we employed the Ricardian technique, estimated through ordinary least squares (OLS) assess impact of climate farmers’ revenue. We use survey data from two distinct agroecological zones in Cameroon. Our results show that rainfall main climatic variable affecting The are statistically for While dry season affects revenue western highland zone. No seems affect farm bimodal forest These suggest abundance zone maybe be shielding effects change. therefore recommend farmers employ water harvesting and low-cost irrigation methods cope with changes pattern especially extended seasons. Facilitating access information particularly respect onset cessation rains will improve planning operations.
