Using a global meta-analysis of species-specific physiological responses environmental manipulations in mountain areas, we assess the resilience of mountain species to climate change.
Does native diversity prevent plant invasions in mountains?
Does biotic resistance limit the spread of non-native plant species in mountains? At high elevations, native diversity doesn’t limit invasions, while at low elevations, natural habitats resist better.
Measuring Resilience in Mountain Regions: The RABIT Approach in Mount Elgon, Uganda
RABIT offers a novel, ICT-enhanced method for benchmarking resilience in mountain regions, integrating participatory assessments to inform climate adaptation and development strategies
Mapping Socioeconomic Variables in Mountain Areas: A GIS-Based Approach

Mountain Huts as Climate Sentinels: Perceptions of Water Scarcity Through Interviews with Hut Managers and Decision-Makers
Located in fragile environments with limited resources, mountain huts are sentinels to changing climate and water scarcity. We conducted interviews with hut managers to explore resilience strategies.
Climatic and Topographic Controls on Precipitation in the Langtang Valley, Nepal
This study focuses on drivers of high altitude precipitation patterns in the Langtang Valley, Nepal
Sustainable Development of Mountain Heritage through Tourism in Muree Pakistan
The study concludes with recommendations for stakeholders and investors to adopt general approaches that ensure the preservation of mountain heritage while empowering sustainable tourism development
Mountaineering in times of climate change: well-known routes are gone; popular paths are becoming more hazardous!
Popular and well-known routes are becoming more hazardous. The various aspects of terrain, conditions, equipment and personal attention must be re-examined and evaluated for mountaineering.
Could LiDAR data enhance the identification of alpine-treeline ecotones? A case study in the Mont Blanc massif
Ecotones are dynamic habitats with high species richness. This study aims to map treeline ecotones in the Mont Blanc massif using LiDAR data and field surveys to monitor habitat changes.
Orographic rain shadows in the Andes: are they weakening with climate change?
We assess how orographic rain shadows respond to climate change across the different climate zones of the Andes, using a set of convection-permitting (4km) WRF simulations over the entire Andes.
