Forest cover has been increasing since the 19th century in a number of mountain areas in Europe. We present results of several case studies from the northern Carpathians - forest cover change and possible factors of the forest increase and its consequences to mountain landscapes. Different source data were used to map forest areas. Map overlays and statistical analysis were used to estimates...
Today, climate change is no longer a matter of scientific debate as statistics indicate that earth is warming up by approximately 0.750C in the last 100 years. As a result of this global warming, the mountainous regions are experiencing more rapid warming compared to other areas. The warming in the Himalayas in the last three decades has been between 0.150 C to – 0.60 C per decade. Studies...
This presentation is a modified version of presentation made at the GI-Forum organized jointly by University of Salzburg and Z-GIS Salzburg Austria in 3-6 July 2007. This presentation has been made for the mapping of land use land cover over the topographically complex terrain of southern part of Nepal. Objective of the study was to map the land use land cover in the complex mountain terrain....

The area from the Australian Alps in Victoria to Atherton in Queensland (A2A) is essentially natural and unfragmented for 2800 north-south kilometres along sections of both the Great Dividing Range and the Great Escarpment of Eastern Australia (the great eastern ranges). In human terms, this natural connectedness has always been there. However, there are national scale threats to A2A from...
