Climatechange to impact mountains on a global scale witsuniversity thePeerJ
) but these have not been widely applied to mountains, especially at a smaller scale. The role of direct human activities on mountain ecosystems through agriculture, urbanization and invasive species has not been considered in these models.
This overview of mountain system sensitivity highlights several key points: The different physical elements that are present within mountains exhibit different sensitivities to climate as well as likely to other environmental and anthropogenic forcings, although this is not fully understood; ‘sensitivity’ of these different elements is interpreted and quantified in different ways, meaning that deriving an overview of the sensitivity of any mountain system in totality is problematic; it is not...
Various lines of evidence, described below, from mountain blocks worldwide reveal the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on mountain processes, properties and communities. This study presents a Warning to Humanity on the negative and likely irreversible impacts of anthropogenic climate change on mountain environments worldwide.
This study identifies and discusses the impacts of climate change on four key properties of mountain systems , which provides an interpretive framework for a better understanding of mountain system evolution in the Anthropocene. The specific terms used in this study focusing on hazards, risk and resilience follow IPCC Assessment Report 5 definitions .
