Effect of age, gender, and place of residence on daily mobility patterns in a Catalan mountain area
It explores the role of key sociodemographic variables, such as age and gender, in mobility patterns in mountain areas. It also seeks to explore the role of the municipality of residence.
Evaluating RS-GIS Models Against Field-Measured Taxus Distribution in the Western Himalaya
Mountain-top bird species face extreme conditions, shaping breeding site selection. We monitored alpine nests in temperate Andes. Rock cavities buffer temperatures, potentially enhancing breeding success and adaptation to harsh weather
Seasonal Ground Temperature Variability Governs Stress Regimes and Rock Anchor Loads in Permafrost-affected Rock-Faces
Seasonal and long-term stress variations in a permafrost rock slope were analyzed using a five-year rock anchor load dataset, revealing progressive load decline under warming conditions.
Towards better governance of quality of life on the local level
The governance framework for quality of life on the local level is presented and evaluated. The results are based on the interviews with the local communities in five Alpine countries.
Biodiversity of Ecological Restoration in a Temperate Mountain System of the Central Himalayas, Uttarakhand, India
This research highlights the importance and value of private forest protection and conservation in achieving long–term biodiversity conservation goals in the Central Himalayas
Climate impact from two decades of forest change in the Himalayas.
Himalayan forests sequestered 129.9 MtCO₂eq (2000-2021). Nepal’s forests achieved net sequestration of 73.4 MtCO₂eq. Eastern Himalayas are a long-term and high-density carbon sink.
