Abstract

Climate parameters variability affects significantly on water resources, and therefore on the livelihood of the common people, especially in water scarce countries. The aim of this study was to explore changes in the maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures using the monthly data of Leh taking last 15 years from 2000 to 2014, which is situated in the western Indian Himalaya. Trends analyses were performed with nonparametric statistics proposed by Mann-Kendall at different time scales in arid environments of Leh. On monthly basis, a significant falling trend in maximum temperature and minimum temperature has been observed at 5% significance level in the month of July at the rate of 1.7 °C per decade and in the month of August at the rate of 1.3 °C per decade, respectively. However, no trend has been observed in other time scales at 5% level of significance. The observed change in temperature will affect all biochemical reactions of photosynthesis thus in turn will have negative impact on plant growth.
