Abstract
Climate change is worldwide but its impacts are feeling local. Dindori district is uniquely known for rich forest wealth and tribal communities in Madhya Pradesh India. People derive their livelihood and nutrition security from forest resources. Climate change is likely to impact the distribution of these natural resources by altering their phenology and production. In the present study, long-term rainfall (1901-2018) time series has been applied for rainfall analysis using parametric (Regression) and non-parametric (Mann-Kendal and Sen’s slope estimator) tests. The negative trends have been found in Dindori district, Madhya Pradesh, India. A detailed study has been carried out for rainfall behavior identification of the district. The present study is used for forest, agricultural, water resources development, planning, and mitigation.
