The World

The gaseous composition of our earth's atmosphere has changed drastically in recent years. This has resulted in unprecedented global warming, hydrological variation, and various climate change impacts in different places of the world. Mitigation and adaptive strategies of climate change through soil carbon sequestration technique is emerged as an alternative option. Among the different types of soil, forest soil has the highest potential to sequester atmospheric carbon because of its rich ecology. However, human-induced deforestation activities and traditional methods of cultivation perturb the soil of organic carbon. Therefore, it is essential to understand the various influencing factors and subsequently the improvement of existing ecosystem for the mitigation of global climate change to some extent. Studies and innovative research on agroforestry, including soil carbon sequestration at regional level, will be a better choice for improvement of environment, food security, and climate change.

In recent years, the field of knowledge management has built a large foundational research base concentrating on the identification, acquisition, transfer and storage of knowledge. The majority of this research has been situated in the context of organizations, or corporate knowledge. However, knowledge management can have a significant impact on other non-corporate institutions, including scientific organizations focused on the study of the natural environment and global climate change. Knowledge management has the potential to make a valuable contribution to the work performed by scientists studying the environment and climate change. As technology improves and the importance of their work becomes more widely accepted, scientists are collecting vast amounts of multi-modal data in order to better understand the earth’s natural environment and the changes which are occurring due to natural and man-made forces. Traditionally, these scientists have focused on this data collection process, with the end goal of analysis targeted towards understanding the scientific context of this data. The demand for this analysis normally originated from other scientists.

Global climate change is one of the most pressing crises of the 21st century, with its economic impact anticipated to be in the trillions of dollars, causing major political and social upheaval. While evidenced-based research suggests means through which nations can adapt to climate change, there are tremendous barriers to this information reaching the most vulnerable populations: those who live in developing nations. An investigation of the factors contributing to these barriers identifies three broad phases in the lifecycle of information that have contributed to these unfavorable conditions: the reproduction and dissemination of information, the organization and storage of information, and the diffusion of information/knowledge. Each of these phases is described as well as potential solutions to improve the transfer of information and the effectiveness of developing nations to adapt to climate change conditions.
