Ecological Mangrove Restoration (EMR) of Abandoned Brackishwater Fishponds in the Philippines

Climate Change / By

Through the years, attempts to restore degraded mangroves in different countries were made but very few reported high success rates. Species-site incompatibility, lack of technical know-how and environmental factors contribute to the failure of these efforts. Ecological Mangrove Restoration (EMR) is an approach to restore Abandoned Brackishwater Fishponds (ABF), which are formerly mangrove areas, through …

Smarter Approaches to Reinvigorate Agriculture as an Industry in the Philippines (SARAI)-Enhanced Agriculture Monitoring System (SEAMS)

Climate Change / By

A web-based system that uses GIS, remote sensing and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index or the index of plant “greenness” or photosynthetic activity to monitor the status of agricultural crops. This can be used to determine the following:  crop damage assessment (typhoon, drought, and pests), land use/cover change, vulnerability assessment, identify possible breeding ground of major …

Research for Development – Payment for Ecosystem Services Outcome for Sustainable Water Provision (R4D:PESO SWaP) in Barobbob Watershed, Nueva Vizcaya

Climate Change / By

Implementing payment for ecosystem services (PES) mechanism as an approach towards sustainability is a relatively novel approach in environmental conservation. PES mechanisms create a market for ecosystem services by making users/beneficiaries pay for the services while compensating conservation activities of service providers. These compensations are often based on the estimate of the provider’s foregone income …

Study on Coastal Acidification and How it Affects the Marine Environment and Resources in the Philippines

Climate Change / By

PCAARRD invested in understanding how coastal acidification affects marine environment as basis for scenario building in estimating threats to the marine environment.  The study was conducted in 59 coastal waters and seas in the entire country.  The study generated baseline data on pH and aragonite saturation state Ω (used to track acidification) from 59 coastal …

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory of Industrial Tree Plantation Production Chain in Caraga Region, Mindanao

Climate Change / By

The industrial tree plantation (ITP) sector has great potential to contribute to the country’s economic development. However, the entire business of establishing industrial forest plantations would not only contribute to increased carbon absorption but along the process, carbon is also emitted particularly from the harvesting operation down to the processing of wood products. Greenhouse gas …

Improvement of Garlic and Other Agri-Food Condiments Productivity through Integrated Crop Management (ICM) System

Climate Change / By

The increase in temperature and occurrence of rain showers during the garlic growing season favor pest incidence, which causes a substantial decrease in yield and bulb quality. Hence, the project titled, “Improvement of Garlic and Other Agri-Food Condiments Productivity through Integrated Crop Management (ICM) System” aimed to improve garlic productivity through the development of an …

Decision Support System for Enhancing Climate Change Resiliency of Smallholder Upland Farmers in Selected Communities of CALABARZON, Philippines

Climate Change / By

Climate change impacts on the social and ecological aspects of food production threaten the food security of the farming households and nearby communities. It is high time, therefore, to investigate on the appropriate decision support system that would enhance farmers’ resiliency to climate change impacts. This project was implemented to help upland communities cope with …
