Relationship between Land Use and Climatic Change: A case study of 24 PGS (S), West Bengal.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Climate change is a common word since the twentieth century. After the industrial revolution emission of Green House Gas (GHG) increase the atmospheric temperature and global warming occurred. There is not only the GHG responsible for this incident but also some others few reasons are also responsible. Land use change is related in a huge amount to change in climate and vice versa. As it is a large-scale disaster so every part of the world feels change in climate impact. Here in this paper, the researchers have tried to find out the causes, relationship and effects of climatic change on land usage on a small area of the world i.e., 24 PGS(S), a district of West Bengal, India. By use of some secondary data and satellite images, it has been shown that change in land usage is related to change in climate and impacts crop production in this district.
