“…Mountainous environments are considered to be sensitive indicators of climate change (Liu and Chen 2000;Pepin and Losleben 2002;Nogués-Bravo et al 2007), leading to great interest in the climate change of mountainous regions. Recent concerns about regional climate change have focused attention on the dependence of climate variables on elevation (Beniston and Rebetez 1996;Aizen et al 1997;Shrestha et al 1999;Liu and Chen 2000;Marchenko 1999;Giese and Moβig 2004;Bolch 2007).…”

“…Globally, it is estimated that about 40% of the global population lives in watersheds of rivers originating in the planet's different mountainous regions (Beniston 2003). Mountains modify local climates, control river flow regimes, and determine soil types Nogués-Bravo et al 2007;Griffiths et al 2009). Mountains fulfill important ecological and economic functions for the surrounding lowlands, including the sustenance of ecological minimum flows, water resource for agriculture, food production and hydropower generation ).…”

“…rock weathering and associated slope stability; soil chemistry; carbon cycle, water supply, and hazards associated with snow accumulation/melt, etc.). Bioclimate models used in complex mountainous terrain are sometimes considered too course to accommodate projected geographic shifts in species, as in most instances they are unable to account for topographically induced trends in temperature, and thus a call has been made for employing statistical downscaling techniques to better understand local patterns of climate and biosystem changes (Nogués-Bravo et al, 2007;Holden et al, 2011). Further, given that several of the world's major escarpments consist of basalt, which weathers faster than other silicates, it has been argued that they significantly influence the atmospheric CO 2 budget over long temporal scales (Das et al, 2005).…”

“…The effect of climate change seems to be even stronger in montane taxa, which could face extreme increases in temperature (NoguŽs-Bravo et al 2007;Wilson et al 2007). …”
