We found that Japanese boreal conifers did not differ the stomatal behavior after transplanted at warm region, and their growth was influenced by vapor pressure difference at the grown sites
Effects of Climate Change on Himalayan Vegetation
Permanent alpine plots in the eastern Himalayan region show a marked increase in plant species richness over the last decade, but this increase may mask threats to vulnerable endemic species.
Recreational use and conservation: Assessing the effectiveness of trail restoration in Patagonian alpine ecosystems
Trail restoration at Frey Hut in Patagonia successfully reduced visitor impact on alpine meadows, demonstrating how strategic trail management can contribute to balance conservation and recreation.
Use of timber forest resources within Bemanevika Protected Area, Northern Highlands of Madagascar
This study is conducting in order to address the lack of knowledge on forest resources use at this remote area, in northern highland of Madagascar in order to elaborate a management plan its resources
Winners and losers in a warming climate: insights from seed longevity
Seed longevity shapes alpine plant responses to climate change. Our study links longer-lived seeds to winner species, highlighting seed traits as predictors for vegetation shifts in warming ecosystems
Opening Remarks: Mountain Festivals – The Representation, Marketing, and Consumption of Mountaineering Cultures
Harald Höbusch will introduce the phenomenon of mountain festivals – their history, their most prominent types and manifestations, and their scholarly treatment and research potential.
In Calmer Waters: The Influence of Source Water on Alpine River Systems in Tongait KakKasuangita SilakKijapvinga (Torngat Mountains National Park), Nunatsiavut, Labrador
Understanding how changes in the cryosphere and hydrosphere impact downstream ecosystems and human livelihoods to support future climate-change monitoring and adaptation in Canada’s North.
Modeling invasion risks: The importance of near-surface temperature and human activities in protected areas of the Andes
Nonnative plants are expanding in the Andes due to climate and human impact, threatening biodiversity. Microclimatic and anthropogenic data enhance models, identifying high risk areas in the Andes.
Integrating Remote Sensing and Participatory Scenario Planning to Model Agroforestry Futures in Ethiopia
Agroforestry’s viability in Ethiopia relies on socio-environmental, political, and cultural factors, requiring local knowledge and remote sensing for effective land-use planning and climate adaptation
Geomorphological impact of tourism in the high-mountain environment: a case study of recreational trails in Vinicunca Area, Andes, Peru.
We mapped and documented geomorphological impacts resulting from the initial development of trails and the subsequent intensive tourist activity in the high-mountain environment in the Andes, Peru.
