Abstract:
Alpine landscapes capture our imaginations. Envisioning these forbidding regions occupied by humans in prehistory has drawn academic and public audiences alike. The history of these alpine regions is being rewritten the world over, due in part to recent archaeological discoveries made in the alpine regions of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). These discoveries, some in the wilderness areas of Montana, have revealed a complex tapestry of prehistoric lifeways.

Abstract:
The fires of summer 2003 in south-eastern Australia burnt tens of thousands of hectares of treeless alpine landscape. Here, we examine the environmental impact of these fires, using data from the Bogong High Plains area of Victoria, and the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales. Historical and biophysical evidence suggests that in Australian alpine environments, extensive fires occur only in periods of extended regional drought, and when severe local fire weather coincides with multiple ignitions in the surrounding montane forests. Dendrochronological evidence indicates that large fires ha

Abstract:
Alpine farming and pasturing at high altitudes in the Alps has created one of the most species-rich and diverse landscapes in Europe. In order to fully understand, appreciate and protect these habitats it is essential to learn about their history and origin. Until the present day, alpine farming provides essential additional food sources for livestock of farmers in the alpine valleys. Based on written sources, historians are able to track alpine farming back to the Middle Ages. Other approaches from different fields in science, however, can look back even further in search of evidence for alpi

Mountain landscapes are the areas characteristic for a great spatial variability of precipitation amounts. On the windward sides of orographic barriers there is intense rising of air, and on the lee sides air descends. The intensity of the two processes is manifested in great differences in precipitation amounts at short distances. Although the network of precipitation stations is the densest in the Alps of all mountain regions in the world, precipitation regime at the micro level continues to be poorly known at many a place.

Abstract. In the northeastern slope of the Lesser Caucasus, particularly within the mountain-forest and mountain-meadow landscapes, the intensification of human settlement poses serious ecological risks in terms of the transformation of natural landscapes. High population density in steep mountainous areas further exacerbates these risks. This issue represents a significant threat, especially for mid- and high-mountain zones, and is particularly critical in areas characterized by steep cliffs and mountain peaks.

As a product of rural alpine farming, larch pastures are widespread in the traditional use systems on both siliceous and carbonate subsoils in the high montane-subalpine altitudinal zone of the Alps (cf.

The examples from Europe are contrasted with those from North America, and most notably with those drawn from high-altitude mountain areas with a long history of land use such as the mountains emerging from the extensive plateau of the central Andes.

Abstract Radiation and thermal energy in alpine environments is as important for life conditions as in any other life zone, and in addition, mountain environments are characterized by a high kinetic potential, or relief energy. The complex alpine landscape results in a distribution pattern in direct incident solar irradiance that creates a broad range of thermal conditions within the alpine zone. Relief energy manifests in high-energy al-pine mass movement events.

Ecosystems are the products of regional biotic history, shaped by environmental changes that have occurred over thousands of years. Accordingly, ecological changes take place at many timescales, but perhaps none is more significant than the truly long-term scale of centuries and millennia, for it is at these timescales that ecosystems form, break apart, and reform in new configurations. This is certainly true in the alpine regions, where glaciations have dominated the landscape for perhaps 90% of the last 2.5 million years (Elias 1996a).

Abstract There are striking changes in vegetation from lowlands to high mountain-tops, similarly to that from the Equator towards the poles. These changes entail a reduction in the structural and floristic diversity of ecosystems and a reduction in biomass from the tall lowland forests to low stature alpine heaths, or arctic tundra. The simplification in structure and the trends in species richness and biomass have been related primarily to a reduction in temperature alone, or in combination with other climatic and physiographic factors in alpine environments (e.g. Theurillat et al. 2003).
