The handbook includes a full range of descriptive, methodological, theoretical, and applied research on the most important plants for each region.

The impact of transient mountain waves on a large-scale flow is examined through idealized numerical simulations of the passage of a time-evolving synoptic-scale jet over an isolated 3D mountain. Both the global momentum budget and the spatial flow response are examined to illustrate the impact of transient mountain waves on the large-scale flow. Additionally, aspects of the spatial response ar...

Available observations suggest that some mountain regions are experiencing seasonal warming rates that are greater than the global land average. There is also evidence from observational and modeling studies for an elevation-dependent climate response within some mountain regions. Our understanding of climate change in mountains, however, remains challenging owing to inadequacies in observation...

Abstract Mountain landscapes that are managed to provide several ecosystem services (ES) have the potential sustain high levels of biodiversity while also meeting multiple human needs. The promotion multifunctional has become an important policy target in land management and gained research traction under definition ES‐multifunctionality. However, scale dynamics patterns ES‐multifunctionality r...
