| Sommario/riassunto: | This second volume on Himalayan forests provides critical insights into Himalayan forests' response to the dual pressures of anthropogenic and natural stressors during the unprecedented environmental change. It examines forest reactions to physical disturbances, climatic shifts and the extreme temperature regimes that characterize treelines, thus predicting ecosystem responses under changing conditions. Through detailed analyses of treeline dynamics, fire ecology and wildlife distributions, this volume demonstrates forest ecosystem resilience and vulnerability to environmental stressors and provides insights into the interaction of biotic and abiotic factors. A distinctive focus on human-forest relationships examines both direct benefits and ecosystem service flows that sustain Himalayan communities. From livelihood transitions and shifting cultivation practices to silvicultural approaches, this volume bridges ecological science with practical applications. Coverage of chronic disturbance patterns and forest recovery trajectories provides frameworks for understanding long-term ecosystem dynamics. This volume is a reference for conservation practitioners, climate researchers and forest managers. It addresses contemporary challenges in mountain ecosystems. |
