The current study shows the process and the results of a methodology proposed to contribute with the issue of how to evaluate
the adaptation to climate variability and future climate change. The proposed methodology consists of a standard to evaluate
farmer’s adaptation to climate variability, mainly due to drought in watersheds in Central America; and was created with contributions
from experts and professionals around this region. The phases for this process were: (1) literature review about the topic,
(2) development of a preliminary standard, (3) expert interviews for the evaluation of this preliminary standard, (4) construction
of a standard to evaluate the issue of adaptation to climate variability emphasizing drought through contributions from experts
and their preliminary evaluations, (5) applicability test of this standard for the evaluation of climate variability under
real conditions and (6) application of this standard through a case study in the Aguas Calientes river sub-watershed in Nicaragua,
which permanently undergoes drought problems and climate variability. This standard has five main principles that go from
the general, considering regional and national policies and institutionalism, to the specifics at the level of watersheds.
In addition to those principles, the standard contains ten criteria, 26 indicators and 51 verifiers distributed among the
main five principles. In the process for testing this standard in the Aguas Calientes river watershed in Nicaragua, the score
for the general applicability to this standard was middle-level (score of 3 in a scale of 1 to 5), although, for the main
principles of this standard, the score was four (high). 相似文献

As part of a wider study examining the impacts of corn pesticides on lacertid lizards in north-western Portugal, we examined various physiological, biochemical, and histological biomarkers of exposure and effect among field populations of Podarcis bocagei. Biomarkers included body condition index, standard metabolic rate, locomotor performance, parasitization, glutathione oxidative pathways and related enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation and liver and testis histology. Few of the various biomarkers investigated provided statistically significant evidence of toxic effect. However, using a weight of evidence approach, we conclude that pesticides are affecting lizards living in the vicinity of pesticide exposed corn agriculture sites. Lizards from these locations present a profile of animals under metabolic stress with reduced condition indices, increased standard metabolic rate, lower incidence of hepatocyte vacuolation, altered iron metabolism, increased activation of GSH oxidation pathways, and even increased prevalence of hemoparasites. 相似文献
