Farmers' perceptions of climate change in Lower Mustang, Nepal.

Climate change has become one of the highlighted issues of the world, resulting in vulnerability and adverse effects on livelihoods. It leads to an undeniable challenge for policymakers, the government, and other respective associations to formulate effective strategies; however, before formulating any coping, adaptation, or mitigation strategies, understanding the reality and perception of local people is crucial. This study investigated whether local farmers inhabiting Lower Mustang are aware of climatic change.

Modification of the moving point test method for nighttime eddy CO flux filtering on hilly and complex terrains.

The measurement of carbon dioxide (CO) fluxes using the eddy covariance technique is difficult in forests in complex terrain because of the horizontal advection of CO at night. This results the under- or overestimation of net ecosystem exchanges of CO. We propose a technique for nighttime filtering (and correction) of CO fluxes to eliminate (and replace) those significantly affected by horizontal advection: the modified moving point test method.
