The Quaternary’s climate shifts influenced species’ ranges, with cold-air pooling refugia supporting persistence and speciation. This study investigates these areas as key biodiversity hotspots.
Future Conflicts on the Horizon: Anthropogenic Pressure May Drive Himalayan Bears into Human Habitation in the Greater Himalayas
Present study provided the intricate ecology of Himalayan bears which may came into the intensive conflict with humans because of the increasing anthropogenic stress in their habitat.
Five years of a multi-taxon biodiversity monitoring in an Alpine region: lessons learned, and results obtained
Since 2019, Biodiversity Monitoring South Tyrol has been surveying species groups sensitive to climate and land-use change. The results and technological innovations in monitoring are discussed.
Climate Change and Increasing Anthropogenic Pressure: Impact on Biodiversity and Stability of the Western Ghats Mountain Ecosystem
This study focuses on the impact of climate change and environmental degradation on the stability and biodiversity of the Western Ghats Mountain and its forests and analyses the related policies.
Evaluating Community Structure and function in the Himalayan Moist Temperate Forest for Long-Term Ecological Monitoring Using a Permanent Plot
A ten hectare permanent enables long-term monitoring of woody individuals, providing insights into species distribution, adaptation strategies, and sustainable forest management under climate change.
Prospects and limitations of church forest conservation in Northern Ethiopia
Remote-sensing analysis, field surveys and interviews provide a comprehensive assessment of the ecological status, management approaches and conservation needs of a church forest in Northern Ethiopia.
Traditional Mud Hives of Mandakini Valley, Garhwal Himalayas: A Sustainable Apicultural Practice for Conservation of Biodiversity and Rural Livelihood
The traditional mud hives of Mandakini Valley sustain native Himalayan honeybees, promote pollination, and support rural livelihoods. Help in biodiversity conservation and climate resilience.
Addressing the twin crisis of biodiversity loss and climate change through large mountainscape conservation
This talk presents approaches to tackling the ‘twin crisis’ of biodiversity loss and climate change from North America’s Yellowstone to Yukon region.
Treeline Dynamics and Its Impact on Carbon Storage
Minimal treeline shift, decreasing carbon with elevation, and forest restoration as the most effective measure for carbon enhancement emerged as the key findings of the study.
Local or certified? Plant phenotypic variability and plasticity for mountain ecosystems restoration.
Using an experimental approach, we sought to understand the effect of human selection and lowland cultivation on plants’ ecological strategies and their ability to respond to a new environment.
