On the use of Constructed Wetlands in mountain regions: innovative tools and configurations
… the application of these systems in mountain areas is faced with some issues related to the specific characteristics of these areas, namely: the complex morphology with steep slopes and limited extensions of flat land, low temperatures and, in tourist contexts, population variations …

Hydrological modeling of mountain catchments in Central Asia
Water resources from Central Asia’s mountain regions have a high relevance for the water supply of the water scarce lowlands. A good understanding of the water cycle in these mountain regions is therefore needed to develop water management strategies. Hydrological modeling helps to improve our …

Variations in Water Storage Capacity of a Mountain Peatland with Complex Stratigraphy
Peatlands in the Rocky Mountains most commonly occur in valley bottoms and are classified as fens. Understanding how fens influence water storage and water release is essential for better predicting water availability as the climate changes. Peatlands located in mountain regions tend to have a …

Evaluating and correcting sensor change artifacts in the SNOTEL temperature records, southern Rocky Mountains, Colorado
In many high elevation mountain regions, documented warming rates have been greater than the global surface average. These warming rates directly affect the snowpack, runoff, ecosystems, agriculture and species that rely on a high elevation snowpack. Temperature records from the snow telemetry …

Modelling Palaeohydrological Controls in Postglacial Mountain Drainage Basins
… formation of the landscape of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Modelling of basin scale hydrology in glaciated mountain regions, including the associated morphology and sedimentology, has not previously been undertaken. The present study investigates drainage basin hydrology for the Kananaskis Valley …

Regionally dissected temperature and rainfall models for the South Island of New Zealand
… South Island of New Zealand, segmented into nine regions, broadly based on NIWA’s South Island climate zones (West Coast, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury and Southland). The Canterbury climate zone was split into Coastal, Foothills and Mountain regions for both North and South Canterbury. The …

Diversity patterns and conservation priorities in the "Mountains of Central Asia" biodiversity hotspot
The biodiversity hotspot concept prioritises regions where exceptional concentrations of endemic vascular plant species coincide with high vulnerability, thereby guiding global conservation efforts. Within this framework, the biodiversity hotspot “Mountains of Central Asia” (MoCA) represents a …

Interpretation of tectonics from digital elevation data in the San Gabriel Mountains, CA : evaluation of methods and data sources
… analysis of 28 tributaries in the San Gabriel Mountains were used to estimate relative rock uplift rates. The results suggest that the eastern region of the San Gabriel Mountain is controlled by a high rock uplift rate while the western region is controlled by a low rock uplift rate. …

Fate of Current-use Pesticides in the Canadian Atmosphere
… in the atmosphere, at high levels near regions of use and at lower, but still significant levels in remote regions. Some of the most persistent pesticides have been banned, but others continue to be used despite their persistence and potential for long-range transport (LRT). We have …

Assessing Natural Hazards and Climate Change in a Mountain Region with a Hydrological Digital Twin
… losses from natural hazards, particularly in mountain regions, driven by increasing exposure, climate change-driven extremes, and improved impact reporting, highlight the need for a multi-hazard approach in their study. Multi-hazard risk assessment requires clear methodologies (hazard, …

Remote sensing-based analysis of land cover detrimental for ecosystem services in fragile lands of Ethiopia
Fragile lands such as mountainous regions and drylands are highly vulnerable for land degradation and subsequent decline in productivity resulting from anthropogenic and natural causes. In developing countries of the tropics like Ethiopia, the human-induced impact is aggravated by the increasing …
