Global environmental change: local perceptions, understandings, and explanations Ecology and Society
Byg, Anja; Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences Group, James Hutton Institute, UK; anja.byg@hutton.ac.uk; Thornton, Thomas F; Oxford University, School of Geography and the Environment; thomas.thornton@ouce.ox.ac.uk.
Global environmental change (GEC) is an increasingly discussed phenomenon in the scientific literature as evidence of its presence and impacts continues to grow. Yet, while the documentation of GEC is becoming more readily available, local perceptions of GEC— particularly in small-scale societies—and preferences about how to deal with it, are still largely overlooked. Local knowledge and perceptions of GEC are important in that agents make decisions (including on natural resource management) based on individual perceptions. We carried out a systematic literature review that aims to provide an exhaustive state-of-the-art of the degree to and manner in which the study of local perceptions of change are being addressed in GEC research. We...

Adapting to Climate Change: Social-Ecological Resilience in a Canadian Western Arctic Community Ecology and Society
Berkes, Fikret; University of Manitoba; berkes@cc.umanitoba.ca; Jolly, Dyanna; University of Manitoba; dyjolly@ihug.co.nz.
Human adaptation remains an insufficiently studied part of the subject of climate change. This paper examines the questions of adaptation and change in terms of social-ecological resilience using lessons from a place-specific case study. The Inuvialuit people of the small community of Sachs Harbour in Canada's western Arctic have been tracking climate change throughout the 1990s. We analyze the adaptive capacity of this community to deal with climate change. Short-term responses to changes in land-based activities, which are identified as coping mechanisms, are one component of this adaptive capacity. The second component is related to cultural and ecological adaptations of the Inuvialuit for life in a highly variable and uncertain environment; these...

Leaf Anatomy of Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart. (Annonaceae) occurring in a rocky savannah in the Brazilian Amazonian Biological Sciences
Simioni, Priscila Fernanda; Pessoa, Marcos José Gomes; Cardoso, Maialu Antunes; Cabral, Fabiana Ferreira; Teixeira, Soraia Oliveira; Silva, Ivone Viera da.
 Savannas of the Amazon Region of Mato Grosso State have an unique  ecological identity due to the complexity of the Cerrado-Amazon transition region, their geographical isolation and the physical-chemical properties of the soil. This study aimed to characterize the leaf anatomy of Xylopia aromatica, and to identify potential adaptive traits to the xeric environment. We collected adult leaves from X. aromatica from a Amazonian savannah located in the Nova Canãa do Norte city, Mato Grosso. The leaves were fixed and stored in 70% ethanol. Cross sections were obtained by free hand with the aid of a razor blade, stained with astra blue and basic fuchsin, and mounted on histological slides. Characters considered adaptive: thick cuticle, epidermal cells with...
