The shortage of water resources in the Northern territory of China and its mitigative countermeasures
The shortage of water resource and large scale exploitation of groundwater have caused a series of environmental problems. The aims of mitigative countermeasures are mainly at developing water saving agriculture and industries, strenghtening water
Tree growth and microclimatic mitigation in Mahogany-black pepper agro-forestry at Parque Ecológico de Gunma, PA, Brazil
Meteorological parameters were measured in mahogany-black pepper agro-forestry sites in Santa Bárbara do Pará, Brazil, in September 2001, in order to investigate the differences in microclimatic mitigation in relation to forest structure and growth
Are wildfire mitigation and restoration of historic forest structure compatible ? A spatial modeling assessment
This study evaluates where both wildfire mitigation and restoration of historic forest structure are potentially needed in the ponderosa pine-dominated montane forest zone of Boulder Country, Colorado. Two spatial models were overlain : a model
of potential fireline intensity and a model of historic fire frequency. The results indicate that both wildfire mitigation and restoration of historic forest structure are needed in only a small part of the study area, primarily at low elevations.
and jeopardize the future of the society itself. The study provides a detailed overview on the possibilities of mitigation of the natural hazards. - (AM)

implement urgent emission reductions, whereas developing countries are allowed relatively higher future emission quotas. Based on analysis on mitigation strategies, it is recognized that the common but differentiated responsibility principle must be insisted
Assessment of the importance of forests in reducing global climatic change (counteracting and mitigating the impacts of greenhouse gases)
Poland is a small country with forest cover of ca. 28%, which constitutes very small portion of the world total. The potential for Polish forest ecosystems to mitigate the greenhouse effect on a global scale and in relation to a whole Earth
to describe a systematic organizational approach in framing landslide impacts in order to more reliably describe and integrate analysis and mitigation measures.
categories are discussed. It is proposed that process identification include information drawn from various methods in order to minimize identification error, given that correct identification is essential to appropriate hazard assessment and mitigation
Vingt ans d'application de la loi Littoral en Espagne. Un bilan mitigé
On a présenté cette loi de 1988 comme l'instrument juridique capable de réintégrer dans le domaine public les espaces côtiers urbanisés illégalement. Le bilan apparaît mitigé vingt ans après. Cette loi complexe a été difficile à mettre en oeuvre, et
A case study of avoiding the heat-related mortality impacts of climate change under mitigation scenarios
échéance de 2050. Mais à échéance de 2080, une forte recrudescence des décès dus à la chaleur apparaît inévitable, quoique d'ampleur variable selon la date à laquelle auront été prises des mesures efficaces de mitigation. - (JPB)
Source-to-sink sediment transfers, environmental engineering and hazard mitigation in the steep Var River catchment, French Riviera, southeastern France
The examples described come mainly from the Var River valley in its densely populated populated coastal stretch adjacent to the city of Nice, and from its upstream tributaries. The role of geomorphology in appreciating and mitigating hazards
Mitigating conflicts over scarce water resources in the Highland-Lowland system of Mount Kenya
ranches and farms have been replaced with small agropastoralists, export-oriented horticulture, and a network of towns and trading centers. Paper discusses how to mitigate emerging conflicts among these water users via a multilevel strategy. - (SLD)
