The East Sea and its resources play a crucial role in Vietnam’s 2030 and vision to 2045 development agenda. This new “marine economy” model brings with its enormous opportunities, but also challenges that need to be address for its effective implementation especially under the complex geopolitical situation in the East Sea.

Maintaining and managing trees with different ecological plasticity under climate conditions aggravated by short-term variability are major challenges for foresters. Our aims were to investigate species-specific ecophysiological responses of canopy trees in a mixed Turkey oak forest during their early-phase regeneration. We measured plant carbon and water exchange with portable IRGA equipment under natural field conditions (canopy gap) and in a climate-controlled (standardized) environment.

At the molecular level, evolutionary changes can be explored by studying ratios of nucleotide substitutions. The interplay among molecular evolution, derived phenotypes, and ecological ranges can provide insights into adaptive radiations. Caecilians (order Gymnophiona), probably the least known of the major lineages of vertebrates, are limbless tropical amphibians, with adults of most species burrowing in soils (fossoriality).

The Plants are reservoir of large numbers of microorganisms known as endophytes that resides inside the plants with inconspicuous symptoms. The association of grasses with microorganisms, including fungal endophytes, is abundant and is vital to maintain the grasses' ecological health and the species diversity. The Bamboo is an essential plant, intertwining with native people indicates the opportunity to find new strains of endophytic fungi and as potential sources of novel natural products.

The changing global climatic scenario is a serious threat to the field of plant disease management. Reckless use of traditional agrochemicals is augmenting risks of environmental and ecological hazard with a negative impact on available resources in managing plant diseases. Frequent use of toxic agrochemicals poses threat not only to the abiotic components but also are of serious concern to the biotic factors of our ecosystem. The era demands incessant exploration in the innovative and opportunistic strategies which have greater impact with minimal use in eliminating plant diseases.

Global climate change is a change in long term weather pattern that characterised by the region of the world. Human activities, especially the burning of the coal and oil, have warmed the earth by increasing the concentration of the heat trapping gases. The impact of warming can be observed in changing weather patterns. Climate change is already affecting human health, ecosystem. Agroforestry has been recognized as a means to reduce CO2 emissions as well as enhancing carbon sinks.

Improving agricultural water productivity, under rainfed or irrigated conditions, holds significant scope for addressing climate change vulnerability. It also offers adaptation capacity needs as well as water and food security in the southern African region. In this study, evidence for climate change impacts and adaptation s trategies in rainfed agricultural systems is explored through modeling predictions of crop yield, soil moisture and excess water for potential harvesting.

The unplanned crossbreeding had also threatened the genetic resources base of the country. Although efforts were made at developing breeding program for various livestock species in the country, all did not materialize due to lack of commitment of and consultation with various stakeholders. There is, therefore, a pressing need to develop a breeding strategy that addresses various livestock species and the diverse agro-ecologies that exist in the country.

Daniel Boone, exploring the wild Kentucky landscape, was too uneducated to see much of what was there, supposes Aldo Leopold. 'Daniel Boone's reaction depended not only on the quality of what he saw, but on the quality of the mental eye with which he saw it. Ecological science has wrought a change in our mental eye. . . . We may safely say that, as compared with the competent ecologist of the present day, Boone saw only the surface of things. The incredible intricacies of the plant and animal community . . . were as invisible to Daniel Boone as...

Sewage sludge as an uncalled for product of wastewater treatment poses the challenge to society of disposing of it, but at the same time gives us the opportunity of beneficial use by closing the cycle of nutrients: sludge derived from agricultural activity must return to soil if a sustainable and ecologically sound management of these materials is desirable (SEQUI et al. 2000). At present the major ways of disposing of sewage sludges are deposition, landfill and incineration, only part of the sludges are used in agriculture. ...

These interactions are discussed further in section I.B below. Factors such as rapid population growth, inequitable access to productive assets, especially land, the neglect of agriculture outside high potential areas, and the impact of external shocks, combine in certain areas to produce and reproduce poverty. Limited alternative non-farm income opportunities reinforce this situation. Poor households tend to respond either by migrating or by other options such as an expansion of farming activity to open new lands to cultivation, which may increase the pressure on natural resources.

Over half of the world’s poor live in rural areas. Although urban poverty is rising, the correlation between poverty and remoteness from urban centres is strong in most countries and is expected to remain so in the foreseeable future. As compared with their urban counterparts, rural people are often isolated from economic opportunities and have less access to basic social services. Resource degradation is an acute problem in rural areas, with some 60% of the world’s poorest people living in ecologically vulnerable areas (Angelsen, 1997).
