Long description:

This contributed volume focuses on the sustainability of mountain ecosystems in the face of a changing climate. Its chapters highlight climate change impacts on the livelihoods of the people and communities that live in mountains and ways that these effects can be mitigated through adaptive measures. The chapters herein address a gamut of topics from use of remote sensing tools to assess changing ecosystems, disaster management in mountains, policymaking between institutions, and more. This book is suitable for students (undergraduate and postgraduates) of ecology and environmental studies/sciences, mountainous agriculture, mountain forestry, teachers, researchers, climate change scientists in academic and research institutions. It will also be useful to environmental management agencies particularly working towards sustainable development in mountainous regions, disaster management authorities, government agencies and policy makers.
