The Dynamics Mechanism of Vulnerability for Resource-based Enterprise Communities in China DOI:  https://doi.org/10.30564/jgr.v2i4.1871 Abstract This paper has analyzed the dynamics mechanism of resource enterprisescommunity vulnerability, selected the key factor of resources to establisha nonlinear dynamical model. The model reveals the constrained relationship between the number of vulnerable enterprises and resource shortagerate, and the same relationship between t vulnerable enterprise numbersand the owning rate of resource market by the biggest enterprise in resource-type enterprises community of China. The results showed that, theshortage rate of resources take up more percentage than the occupancy ofresource rate of the strongest enterprises in Enterprise community whenD>q. the characteristics and patterns of the Chinese enterprise evolutionare as follows, (1) The strongest enterprises n1 will decline or transformin the enterprise community. (2) The enterprises which surv...

Agroforestry for Climate Change Adaptation, Resilience Enhancement and Vulnerability Attenuation in Smallholder Farming Systems in Cameroon

Agroforestry for Climate Change Adaptation, Resilience Enhancement and Vulnerability Attenuation in Smallholder Farming Systems in Cameroon Abstract The adverse impacts of climate variability and change are felt mostly by smallholder farmers and smallholder farming systems where rainfed agriculture is predominant. Continuous dependence on rain-fed agriculture has led to declining crop productivity and crop failure in most cases as weather patterns shift which is very problematic for crop growth. Agroforestry which is one of the climate-smart, environmentally benign and agroecological practices has been found to mitigate climate change adversities while fostering adaptation, enhancing resilience and attenuating vulnerability especially in smallholder farming systems. However, in Cameroon, limited empirical research has been done to ascertain the role played by agroforestry in climate change adaptation, resilience enhancement and vulnerability attenuation. This paper which is based on an...
