Climate change is having significant impacts on mountain ecosystems. Average temperatures in mountains worldwide have risen 0.54 degrees Fahrenheit per decade, leading to melting glaciers and changes in river flows. This disrupts plants and wildlife and increases risks of floods and rockslides. As glaciers continue to melt with rising CO2 and greenhouse gas levels, snow accumulation zones will shrink and new lakes will form, altering water availability for agriculture and hydropower. Premature snowmelt in Rocky Mountain National Park has already caused water supply difficulties for species that rely on snowmelt, threatening to disrupt the park's ecosystem.

4A Socio-economic and environmental impacts of climate change.pptx
As far as Nepalese people are concerned, they are very bad in their food habits. Disease like ulcer and diabetes are rampant along Nepalese people. Moreover, there are areas in the country where there is a severe malnutrition.
Factors influencing food habits
•Individual Preferences
Every individual has unique likes and dislikes concerning foods.
•Cultural Influences
A cultural group provides guidelines regarding acceptable foods, food combinations, eating patterns, and eating behaviors.
•Social Influences
Members of asocial group depend on each other, share a common culture, and influence each other's behaviors and values.
Environmental conditions play a key role in defining the function an.pdf
Environmental conditions play a key role in defining the function and distribution of plants, in
combination with other factors. Changes in long term environmental conditions that can be
collectively coined climate change are known to have had enormous impacts on plant diversity
patterns in the future and are seen as having significant current impacts. It is predicted that
climate change will remain one of the major drivers of biodiversity patterns in the future.
The Earth has experienced a constantly changing climate in the time since plants first evolved. In
comparison to the present day, this history has seen Earth as cooler, warmer, drier and wetter,
and CO2 (carbon dioxide) concentrations have been both higher and lower. These changes have
been reflected by constantly shifting vegetation, for example forest communities dominating
most areas in interglacial periods, and herbaceous communities dominating during glacial
periods. It has been shown that past climatic change has been a major driver of the processes of
speciation and extinction. The best known example of this is the Carboniferous Rainforest
Collapse which occurred 350 million years ago. This event decimated amphibian populations
and spurred on the evolution of reptiles
Greenhouse effect - the mechanism
The sun radiates solar energy on earth. The larger part of this energy (45%) is radiated back into
space. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere contribute to global warming by adsorption and
reflection of atmospheric and solar energy. This natural phenomenon is what we call the
greenhouse effect. It is agreed that the greenhouse effect is correlated with global temperature
change. The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are water vapor, carbon
dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone
Mechanism of global warming:
i. The incoming radiation from the Sun is mostly in the form of visible light and nearby
wavelengths, largely in the range 0.2 – 4 1m, corresponding to the Sun’s radioactive temperature
of 6,000 K. Almost half the radiation is in the form of “visible” light, which our eyes are adapted
to use.
ii. About 50% of the Sun’s energy is absorbed at the earth’s surface and the rest is reflected or
absorbed by the atmosphere. The reflection of light back into space – largely by clouds – does
not much affect the basic mechanism; this light, effectively, is lost to the system.
iii (a) Earth absorbs most of the sunlight it receives; The absorbed energy warms the surface; (b)
Earth then emits the absorbed light’s energy as infrared light; (c) greenhouse gases absorb a lot
of the infrared light before it can leave our atmosphere; (d) being absorbed slows the rate at
which energy escapes to space; and (e) the slower passage of energy heats up the atmosphere,
water, and ground. By increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, humans are
increasing the atmosphere’s absorption of infrared light, thereby warming Earth and disrupting
global climate patterns.

Calentamiento global
Global warming is caused by carbon dioxide from human sources like vehicles and factories trapping heat in the atmosphere, similar to the greenhouse effect. This is causing ice caps and glaciers to melt, which raises sea levels and could flood coastal areas. Rising global temperatures are also expected to alter forests and crop yields, spread diseases, and damage ecosystems and national parks. The rapid warming of the past 150 years is unprecedented and is largely due to increased fossil fuel usage. This warming is damaging coral reefs and causing penguin populations to decline. Reducing fossil fuel use would help minimize further global warming impacts.

Presentation On Global Warming
This document discusses global warming and its causes, effects, solutions, and future impacts. It begins by defining global warming as the increasing average air temperature near Earth's surface over the past one to two centuries, caused by increased greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. The document then lists key causes of global warming like emissions from fossil fuel use, deforestation, and industrial activities. Effects mentioned include rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, melting ice, and more frequent extreme weather. Solutions proposed center around transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and making lifestyle changes to reduce emissions and resource use. The conclusion warns that global warming poses major threats and will exacerbate issues like sea level rise, ocean acidification
Global warming test
Global warming is caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. This is warming the earth and melting ice caps and glaciers, which causes sea levels to rise and threatens coastal areas. As temperatures increase, climate changes are altering ecosystems and threatening plants and animals through shifting habitats and increased droughts and fires. The rapid warming seen in recent decades is unprecedented and is primarily due to human emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel usage. Unabated, global warming will continue to have damaging environmental and economic consequences.
Gem ppt-12-climate change
The document discusses the causes, effects, and solutions to climate change. It explains that climate change is caused by both natural factors like volcanic eruptions and continental drift, as well as human factors like the burning of fossil fuels. Some of the effects of climate change discussed include rising sea levels, more extreme weather, loss of habitats, and threats to food and water supplies. The document provides several potential solutions to address climate change such as transitioning away from fossil fuels, improving energy efficiency, reducing consumption, and increasing the use of renewable energy and public transportation.
Global warming
This document discusses the causes and impacts of global warming. It begins by explaining that while Earth's climate has naturally varied in the past due to factors like orbital shifts and solar activity, the dominant influence now is human activity. It then describes the natural greenhouse effect and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the lower atmosphere, making the planet warmer than it would otherwise be. However, the warming seen recently cannot be explained by natural causes alone. Human emissions of greenhouse gases, which far exceed levels from other sources like volcanoes, are the main driver of current warming according to scientists. The impacts of continued warming will include changes to weather patterns, rising sea levels, pressure on ecosystems, and effects on human communities and activities.
Global warming
Global warming is causing changes to Earth's climate that are significantly different than past natural variations. The planet is warming due to increased greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels, which emit over 100 times more carbon dioxide than volcanoes annually. If warming continues unabated and exceeds 3°C, it will have severe consequences including more extreme weather, rising sea levels that threaten coastal regions, disrupted ecosystems, and difficulties for humans from problems like worsening droughts and the spread of diseases. Adapting to these impacts of climate change will become increasingly challenging without efforts to reduce the greenhouse gases causing it.
Forest and climate change a study how world By Mr Allah Dad Khan
Climate change is stressing forests through higher temperatures, altered precipitation, and more extreme weather. Forests play a major role in mitigating climate change by trapping carbon dioxide, but releasing carbon dioxide when destroyed. Different tree species will be impacted differently by climate change, with some benefiting and others declining. Changes in seasonal rhythms may damage plant-pollinator interactions that some insects depend on. Impacts on forests from climate change include altered growth processes and productivity over time due to shifts in carbon dioxide, temperature, and rainfall.

Forests play a major role in mitigating climate change by trapping carbon dioxide, but releasing carbon dioxide when destroyed. Different tree species will be impacted differently by climate change, with some benefiting and others declining. Changes in seasonal rhythms may damage interactions between plants and pollinators. Forest growth and productivity will be impacted by increases in temperature, changes in precipitation, and increases in carbon dioxide levels.
Climate change
Climate change, also known as global warming, refers to the long-term rise in average surface temperatures on Earth due to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. The scientific consensus is that climate change poses risks to natural, social and economic systems and that its impacts are already observable. Major causes of climate change include burning fossil fuels, deforestation, coal mining and fertilizer use, all of which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Effects of climate change include higher temperatures, more droughts, shrinking sea ice and melting glaciers.

The document discusses several effects of climate change in India, including increased temperatures throughout the country, changes in rainfall patterns, more frequent and intense cyclones, sea level rise, variability in water supply from glacial retreat and changes in monsoon patterns, impacts on agriculture and food production, forests and ecosystems, and human health. Climate change poses significant risks and challenges for India's environment, economy and population.
Global Warming And Renewable Energy
The document discusses the effects of global warming. It begins by introducing the members and topic. It then explains that global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Some effects of global warming include more extreme weather, rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities, melting glaciers and sea ice, and disrupted habitats. The document also discusses effects on freshwater availability, oceans, ecosystems, temperatures on land and sea, and impacts on human health, food supply, and economy. It advocates transitioning to renewable clean energy like solar and wind to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate global warming impacts.
climatic impact on freshwater resources of pakistan
The document discusses the impacts of climatic change on Pakistan's freshwater resources. It notes that global warming is causing glaciers in Pakistan to melt faster, initially increasing river flows but eventually leading to a 30-40% reduction. This threatens Pakistan's water security as the population and agriculture sector depend heavily on irrigation. Other issues discussed include more frequent floods from increased glacier melt and monsoon rains, as well as droughts. Glacial lake outburst floods also pose risks. Adaptation is needed like improved water storage and early warning systems.
Changing climate
Changes in the environment due to climate change are negatively impacting biodiversity. As the planet warms due to greenhouse gas emissions, species are becoming extinct or threatened. In the Arctic, loss of sea ice is eliminating habitats for species adapted to live on or under ice. Ocean warming is causing acidification, reducing calcium carbonate needed for shells. Climate change is also projected to cause the extinction of 20% of the world's lizard species by 2080. Monitoring of arthropods can provide early warnings of ecological changes due to impacts like decreased decomposition and increased herbivory.
Unit 3
This document discusses several impacts of climate change, including rising global temperatures, melting ice caps and glaciers, and rising sea levels. It notes that temperatures have increased 0.8 degrees Celsius since 1880, with most warming occurring since the 1970s. Melting ice is causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal communities and habitats. Climate change is also negatively impacting agriculture, forests, ecosystems, water resources and human health through increased droughts, floods and disease. Key industries and societies face vulnerabilities from extreme weather events and limited ability to adapt to rapid climate change.

Globalwarming andrew
Global warming is caused by carbon dioxide emissions from human activities like driving cars and burning fossil fuels for energy. This carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere like glass in a greenhouse, warming the planet. The warming is melting polar ice caps and glaciers, raising sea levels and threatening coastal areas with flooding. It is also bleaching coral reefs and causing shifts in animal populations as climates and habitats change around the world. The rapid warming of the past 150 years corresponds to the industrial era and increased fossil fuel use, indicating human activity is the dominant cause. Addressing global warming will require reducing carbon dioxide emissions to slow its damaging environmental and economic impacts.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Impact of Climate Change on Mountain Ecosystems.pptx
- 1. www.reallygreatsite.com Climate change Impact on Mountain Ecosystem
- 2. An ecosytem is a region with a specific and recognizable landscape such as forest, grassland, desert, wetland or coastal area. The nature of ecosystem is based on its geographical features such as hills, mountains, river etc.
- 3. Climate Change Climate change refers to long term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, bt since the 1800s, human actvities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning of fossil fuels(like coal, oil and gas), which produces heat trapping gases
- 4. The impact of Climate change on Mountain The International panel on climate change (IPCC) has released a report focusing on the present impacts of climate change on the world's mountains. Recently, average temperatures in American, European, and Asian Mountains have been rising by 0.54 degrees Fahrenheit per decade. This is set to continue but at a faster rate. Immediate temperature change leads to melting glaciers and change river flows that disrupt plants and wildlife. This also leads to an increased risk of extreme rockslides and mountain floods which further endagers wildlife and poses threat to people living on mountains.
- 5. Specifically, since the industrial revolution, CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions have raised temperatures, even higher in the poles, and as a result, glaciers are rapidly melting. A 2016 study, predicts that mountain ecosystems will visibly change as glaciers melt as the snow accumulation zone will get smaller. As they melt, new lakes will form. The changed timing of water flow will have a major impact on water availability for agriculture and in some cases hydropower.
- 6. Climate change creats a massive impact on water availability at Rocky Mountain National Park. The premature melting of the snowbanks created water supply difficulties for several species that habitat the park. Animals rely on the snowbank water to surive. Dwindling water supplies in the future will negatively impact them and the disrupt the harmony of the ecosystem of the park.
