Climate change can also alter the mix of land-related ecosystem services, such as groundwater recharge, purification of water, and flood protection. Climate change will result in range shifts and, in some cases, extinction of species. Disruptions of ecosystem services can occur where climate change causes transitions from one biome to another, for example, forest to grassland as a result of changes in water balance or natural disturbance regimes.

The direct impacts range from subtle reductions or enhancements of specific services, such as biological productivity, resulting from changes in temperature, temperature variability or rainfall, to complete disruption and elimination of services. Avoiding, reducing and reversing land degradation has a large potential to mitigate climate change and help communities to adapt to climate change.Ĭlimate change will affect land-related ecosystem services (e.g., pollination, resilience to extreme climate events, water yield, soil conservation, carbon storage, etc.) and biodiversity, both directly and indirectly. Many SLM practices (e.g., agroforestry, perennial crops, organic amendments, etc.) increase carbon content of soil and vegetation cover and hence provide both local and immediate adaptation benefits, combined with global mitigation benefits in the long term, while providing many social and economic co-benefits. Land-use change in the form of clearing of forest for rangeland and cropland (e.g., for provision of bio-fuels), and cultivation of peat soils, is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from both biomass and soils. This means that sustainable land management (SLM) becomes even more important with climate change.

One important impact of climate change on land degradation is that increasing global temperatures intensify the hydrological cycle, resulting in more intense rainfall, which is an important driver of soil erosion. Others include the Southern Ponca, Ioway, Otoe, Missouri, and the Sauk and Fox tribes.Climate change, land degradation and land use are linked in a complex web of causality. Though we acknowledge the Omaha tribe in recognizing the origin name of our organization and festival, it is important to also note that they were not the only area tribe displaced. They continued to adapt to life on the reservation, and by the 20th century, many had moved back to the city of Omaha. government’s founding of Omaha did not mean that the Tribe disappeared, however. In 1854, the Omaha tribe was forced to cede their land and move to a reservation that is present-day Macy, Nebraska.

The Tribe originally settled near the Missouri River, and in the early 1700s were mapped as “the Maha, a wandering nation.”īeginning in the 1800s, contact with European settlers resulted in waves of devastating smallpox epidemics, and a series of treaties were signed between the Tribe and the federal government, all of which reduced the Tribe’s sovereignty or land, or both. The Omaha tribe, for which our city is named, was also known as U-Mo’n-Ho’n (“upstream” or “against the current”). The city of Omaha exists on land that has been home to culture and community long before our organization was ever conceived.
