This study aims to estimate the effects of raising conservation awareness(RCA),building diversity blocks(BDB), and their combination on crop diversity among 240 randomly selected households surrounding the Rupa Lake Watershed in Nepal. Based on descriptive analysis and multiple regression models, the results indicate that the two single measures had no significant effect on the numbers of crop species and varieties grown by households in 2018. However, the combination of RCA and BDB had a significantly positive effect on the number of crop varieties, especially for grain and vegetable crops. Considering that these crops are essential in the daily lives of local people, the results indicate that a strategy that combines both awareness raising and on-farm conservation measures can generate higher crop diversity and better serve the climate-resilient livelihoods of people in mountainous areas.展开更多

The vaues and relative importance varywith soil water content. The general rule is that water uptake by roots is mainly limited by radial hydraulicconductance of roots in wet soils, the soil-root interfaCe becomes a major limiting factor to water uptake inmoderately dry soils, and the water uptake is limited by the rapidly decreasing soil hydraulic conductance inseriously dry soils. Meanwhile these limiting factors vary with crop variety, and these variations can be usedto evaluate the drought-resistance and water use efficiency of crops.展开更多

文摘Global warming has led to the frequent occurrence of extremely high temperatures,which has severely affected crop grain yield and quality,thereby posing a serious threat to global food security(Kan et al.,2023).Therefore,breeding crop varieties with high yield and quality under high temperatures is of great significance for ensuring global food security.
