Climate change presents significant challenges to dryland ecosystems, which are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in temperature and precipitation patterns. These regions face heightened risks such as desertification, declining agricultural productivity, and biodiversity loss. This chapter explores the role of ecosystem-based approaches in strengthening resilience and mitigating climate change impacts in dryland ecosystems. This study identifies vulnerable areas and proposes targeted interventions by integrating advanced methods such as rainfall mapping and soil moisture budget analysis. Key ecosystem-based approaches—including reforestation, wetland restoration, and sustainable land management practices—offer promising strategies for adaptation and mitigation. These approaches enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services and support local communities in building resilience against climate-related stresses. Through case studies and practical examples, this chapter highlights the critical importance of leveraging natural processes and data-driven strategies to foster sustainable development in dryland ecosystems.

摘要

Climate change presents significant challenges to dryland ecosystems, which are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in temperature and precipitation patterns. These regions face heightened risks such as desertification, declining agricultural productivity, and biodiversity loss. This chapter explores the role of ecosystem-based approaches in strengthening resilience and mitigating climate change impacts in dryland ecosystems. This study identifies vulnerable areas and proposes targeted interventions by integrating advanced methods such as rainfall mapping and soil moisture budget analysis. Key ecosystem-based approaches—including reforestation, wetland restoration, and sustainable land management practices—offer promising strategies for adaptation and mitigation. These approaches enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services and support local communities in building resilience against climate-related stresses. Through case studies and practical examples, this chapter highlights the critical importance of leveraging natural processes and data-driven strategies to foster sustainable development in dryland ecosystems.
