Extreme Events -Losses

2. Agroforestry for DRR Water / Watershed Management (Flood)
AF for Sloping land management
Soil erosion / runoff /
Land slides / avalanche control
High flows due to glacial melt
Slope stabilization / Contour planting of trees / etc.
Living fences / hedges (rotational grazing)
Awareness raising, ie potential role for AF, intersectoral / prevention
Use excessive water in the uplands (seasonal)
Sloping land management research
Which landuse types, where ?
Which AF systems, which trees, where ?
Impact on water / nutrient cycles ?
Upland / lowland interactions – linkages

3. Water / Watershed Management (Drought)
AF for increased drought resilience
Biophysical
Water /nutrient cycle / microclimate
Soil management
Dry season / winter fodder
Planting for combating desertification
Shade (soil moisture /
Windbreaks)
Productivity / socio-ecological resilience
Fodder management / dry season fodder
Fodder / seed banks
Drought resistant varieties ?
Integrated livestock systems using fodder trees
Food security
Research topics
Which landuse types, where ?
Which AF systems, which trees, where ?
Drought resistant varieties
Impact on water / nutrient cycles ?
Upland / lowland interactions – linkages

4. Riparian zone management (Flood / Biodiversity)
AF for Riparian zone management
Flood protection
Nutrient barrier
River bank erosion
Health of river / stream ecosystem
Which AF systems, which trees, where ?
Impact on water / nutrient cycles ?
Policy dimensions / RZM

5. Wind damage / dust storms / salt deposition
Windbreaks
Soil erosion
Aral dust storms
Which AF systems, which trees, where ?
Impact on water / nutrient cycles / productivity

6. AF for Conservation of Globally Significant Biodiversity
CA is Center of Diversity for Prunus / Mallus / etc
Loss of these genetic resources also a disaster
How can AF systems help to conserve these genetic resources
In Situ Conservation
Which AF systems, which trees, where ?
Target Small Farms / Small holders
Economic viability / value chains / niche marketing

7. CONCEPT NOTE INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
PHASE ONE
COUNTRY LEVEL ASSESSEMENT
IDENTIFICATION OF RISKS, DRIVERS, PRIORITY AREAS
IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS / TARGET GROUPS
IDENTIFY APPROPRIATE AF SYSTEMS FOR ADDRESSING DRR
PILOT PROJECTS (5 COUNTRIES)
CUSTOMIZE AND LOCALIZE RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE
E.G. WOCAT
IDENTIFY AND TEST VIABILITY OF AF SYSTEMS / TREE SPECIES
