Abstract

WWF Initiatives to Study the Impact of Climate Change on Himalayan High-altitude Wetlands (HAWs)

Highlights

  • BioOne Complete is a full-text database of 200 subscribed and open-access titles in the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences published by nonprofit societies, associations, museums, institutions, and presses

  • Based on the above results, it can be concluded that no general pattern of climate change on the Qinghai– Tibetan plateau can be established due to temporal and spatial variations

  • Modeling studies on selected highaltitude wetlands to determine their hydrologic response to climate change have begun and are expected to yield important trends that could help put high-altitude wetlands (HAWs) and the services they provide on the agenda of policymakers

Summary

Introduction

BioOne Complete (complete.BioOne.org) is a full-text database of 200 subscribed and open-access titles in the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences published by nonprofit societies, associations, museums, institutions, and presses. Since climate controls many ecosystem attributes and functions, changes in temperature and precipitation in future will alter the hydrological processes of wetlands with potentially significant consequences for downstream water resources.
