N2  - This book presents the current state of research at the University of Dar es Salaam linking climate change and ecosystems' integrity in the tropics with particular focus on Tanzania. The focus of the book is on the implications of climate change on various aspects of economic endeavour - from agropastoralism, wetland management to weather forecasting. The analyses concentrate on the potential impacts of climate change, focusing on changes in temperature and precipitation, as well as alternative adaptation strategies, such as changing crop types and cropping patterns, adopted by the local communities. Particular attention is placed on the vulnerability and resilience of ecosystems and communities to climate change outcomes with special reference to the impacts of extreme events such as droughts and flooding. The book has 14 chapters and a subject index
