Public Citation Titre : Global change and mountain regions : an overview of current knowledge Type de document : Électronique Auteurs : Uli M. Huber ; Mel A. Reasoner Mention d'édition : 1st ed. 2005. Editeur : Dordrecht : Springer Netherlands Année de publication : 2005 Collection : Advances in global change research (Online), ISSN 2215-1621 num. 23 Importance : 652 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4020-3508-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Mountain regions occupy about a quarter of the global terrestrial land surface and provide goods and services to more than half the humanity. Global environmental change threatens the integrity of these systems and their ability to provide the goods and services upon which humanity has come to depend. This book gives an overview of the state of research in fields pertaining to the detection, understanding and prediction of global change impacts in mountain regions. More than 60 contributions from paleoclimatology, cryospheric research, hydrology, ecology, and development studies are compiled in this volume, each with an outlook on future research directions.

In particular, those lakes that are situated above or beyond the tree-line are rarely disturbed by agricultural or forestry practices and few if any people inhabit their catchments. However, recent research indicates that even the most remote lakes are impacted by atmospherically transported pollutants, and that greenhouse-gas forced climate change is beginning to have a significant influence on ecosystem functioning. UV-B radiation is also increasing and, in interaction with global warming, may already be changing biogeochemical cycles in many mountain lakes (Vinebrooke and Leavitt, this volume). All sites are subject to multiple stresses, and studies of the ecological response of mountain lakes to such combined stress need to consider interactions between all factors, both natural and anthropogenic. In this chapter, we consider acid deposition, toxic substances and climate change as the three main drivers of ecosystem change in high mountain lakes.
