READ MOREhe application allows users to view and monitor of Kayar Khola watershed covers an area of 8,002 ha at an elevation of 245 to 1944 m in Chitwan district in the central development region of Nepal. Mainly swiping tools allow visitors to see the changes spatially and social profile of each community forest level.
READ MOREThis application has been developed to help decision makers in rangeland management in Pakistan. The application allows visualization of various layers such as bio-climate, phenology, grazing pattern, and biomass & productivity. In addition, the application allows viewing of suitability ranking map for rangeland based on productivity, area, greening/browning or overall.
READ MOREThe web app on climate change vulnerability of forest ecosystems provides information about the current relationships between climate variables and biophysical variables depicting functioning of forests. The application also provides VDC level information on the projected relationships between climate and forest functioning that gives us a better idea about impacts of future climate change, along with this the app also provides forest areas falling under different degrees of human dependence.
