    Abstract: Global climate change began to affect urban and rural landscape planning decisions. The accurate and efficient use of plants that support urban green infrastructure would play an important role in these decisions. The present study aimed to determine the tolerance of domestic and exotic woody plant species planted in public spaces in Artvin province, Turkey to the effects of climate change. Thus, the tolerance of 59 most prevalent trees and shrubs identified in public spaces and natural fields in 12 sampling areas in Artvin province center, Hopa and Ardanuc district centers were surveyed. Findings of the regression model demonstrated that drought, cold hardiness and precipitation had an impact on the adaptability scores of the plants. The differences between the climate conditions in sample areas had an impact on the future adaptation and tolerance of the plants to climate change. This demonstrated that plant species in urban green areas will be affected not only by the global climate change but also by local climate conditions in the short and long term.

    Abstract: Groundwater management is a potential solution to the global water crisis. This study assessed the groundwater quality at Mettupalayam, Tamil Nadu, India in order to determine its suitability for drinking. Groundwater samples were collected and their physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total hardness (TH), total dissolved solids (TDS), Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42- and Cl- were determined and benchmarked with standard drinking water requirements. The variations of these parameters were presented spatially. The groundwater is generally brackish and hard; and of low alkalinity and high salinity. Consequently, the groundwater in most parts of the study area is unsuitable for drinking without treatment. It is recommended that point and nonpoint sources of groundwater pollution at Mettupalayam should be identified, monitored and managed in order to protect the groundwater resource.

    Mangrove Palms: Sustainable Feed Source for Swine

    Abstract: Approximately 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions are from land use change, most of which is for deforestation to make way for agriculture. Around 75% of agricultural land is used for feeding animals rather than humans directly. One solution is to cultivate trees and perennials for livestock feed. Mangrove palms (Nypa fruticans), endemic in the Philippines and most of Southeast Asia, have the potential to be a game-changer in the swine industry. Their calorific yield per hectare is 400% higher than that of maize – the common energy source in swine. Tapping the sugar- rich sap of the palm and feeding it to pigs is an ancient practice that has been overlooked by researchers in the past in favor of industrial field crops. This paper outlines priority areas for research to help redress that imbalance and realize the full potential of the ‘climate-smart’ nipa palm.
