The AA. studied four villages in Dhading district (Nepal) to assess the attitudes of local people toward Hattisunde forest. The key to collective management is seen as mutual trust. Women have played an important role in forest protection. - (DWG)
The AA. examine the hypothesis that soil chemical properties other than nitrogen supply partly explain the altitudinal changes in the rain forest. They also compare the soils on Volcan Barva with those on several other tropical mountains to see
if differences in soil chemistry are likely to be the cause of differences in forest structure between mountains.
Gray Forest soils, Alluvial Sod-Podzolic and Alluvial Gray Forest residual-sod soils, Alluvial Pseudopodzolic (Pseudogley) soils, Alluvial Sod-Podzolic soils, and Alluvial Gray Forest soils. Classification and nomenclature of these soils should take
This study presents an analysis of the distribution regarding the two main types of the novel forest decline in Norway Spruce stands. The investigated area is the Western part of the Harz mountains. Besides terrestrial methods color infrared
photography is mainly used to inspect the extent of novel forest decline in Lower Saxony. This method idnetifies different decline symptoms and small spatial patterns of decline. In addition, the sample density allows to investigate the spatial distribution
The data of forest community change, from sites lying within the postulated glacial rain forest Napo refugium, provide the strongest paleoecological refutation of the refugial hypothesis yet obtained. The large temperature depression at 30,000 yr B
Conceptualizations relating to the alpine geosystem, forests, hydrology, arctic tundra and the so-called Obergurgl model are analyzed for their usefulness in study processes of significance to mountain environments. - (DWG)
The topoclimatological mapping of the Gdańsk agglomeration has been accomplished in two stages. Firstly, the mesoclimatic analysis was made on the basis of standard meteorological data. Secondly, the topoclimatological mapping of forest areas
