“…Source of climate change information is a very important parameter for predicting the strategies to be adopted by relevant agencies for the purpose of policy design and implementation (Di Falco and Sharma-Khushal, 2019;Martínez-Cruz et al, 2017;Vano et al, 2018). As shown in Table 2 below, agricultural extension, radio, politicians, friends and allied sources were considered in this study based on the responses received from the framers targeted.…”

The challenges of climate change are increasingly becoming major issues of concern to many regions in the world. Despite reduction in agricultural outputs, rapid diseases outbreak, shortage of rainfall and desert encroachment are serious negative consequences associated with climate change. In local communities in Nigeria, farmers adapt certain fundamental strategies as an approach toward enhancing farm production despite the menace. The research therefore surveyed the understanding of climate change, its causes and consequences among 500 farmers in Kebbi state located in north-western Nigeria. The results of this study found that many farmers are not aware of the tragedy but experienced its negative impacts. However, among farmers with good understanding of the problems, fundamental steps were been applied to ensure land protection and boost agricultural outputs. The study further explained the measures required to elevate situation awareness among respondents as a key to addressing climate change.

“…The unique location and fragile ecological environment of the source region of Yangtze river faces great challenges under the double influences from global warming and human activities [3,5,20]. Since 1980s, with the rapid development of China western economy and population continuous growth the fragile alpine ecosystem began to suffer more and more pressure from human activities [21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, under the background of the global climate change, What is the effect of atmospheric precipitation in the source region of the Yangtze River on the ecological environment of the region?…”

Ecological environment in the source area of the Yangtze River has also undergone significant changes under the context of global climate warming. Based on the long term observation data (observation data of vegetation, soil moisture and desertification was from 2005 to 2015), desertification degree gradually decreased, vegetation height increased, the change of coverage was weak, above ground biomass significantly decreased and soil moisture significantly decreased after 2009 thorough analysis of correlation and annual change of wind erosion, wind deposition, vegetation situations and soil moisture from 2005 to 2015. So atmospheric precipitation wasn't a directly specially important factor to ecological environment in the source region of Yangtze river in the context of climate warming and wetting and atmospheric precipitation was indirectly affecting the ecological environment in the source region of the Yangtze river. Rain could reduce environmental temperature and temperature was also an important factor for vegetation growth. Atmospheric precipitation didn't play an important role in wind erosion and wind deposition in the study area. Precipitation increase could reduce height and coverage of vegetation in the source region of Yangtze river. And above ground biomass of vegetation might increase with the precipitation increase and climate becoming warm and wet. Atmospheric precipitation only directly affected soil moisture under the context of climate warming and wetting.
