The paper deals with the study of a structure and formation peculiarities of spatial connections of birds in two different biotopic natural complexes in one of Dagestan high mountain districts – Charodinsky (at the altitude interval of 2000-2300 m). Biotopic heterogeneity of the ornithological popul...

We have been witnessing rapid climate change in recent decades, with heatwaves now more frequent and winters less distinct. One notable consequence is the increasing frequency of dust storms in many areas of Spain. This raises concerns about the extent of atmospheric pollution compared to the past...

Adventure tourism is a specific type of tourism that has been increasingly popular in Serbia in recent years. In this regard, the paper identifies the basic characteristics of adventure tourism, its development in Serbia, with a great emphasis placed on high mountain areas that, owing to their physi...

In high mountain ecosystems, glaciers, lakes and wetlands play an important role in local water resources, where a variation in glacier dynamics can affect the rest of the ecosystem components due to their hydrological connections. The objective of the study was to analyze the relationship of glacie...

Abstract Rapid atmospheric warming has transformed cryospheric landscapes, affecting sediment transport processes. However, our understanding of hillslope and riverine connectivity in large headwaters remains limited. Here, we apply the Index of Connectivity (IC) to model structural connectivity for...

Ice thickness is a key parameter for glacier mass estimations and glacier dynamics simulations. Multiple physical models have been developed by glaciologists to estimate glacier ice thickness. However, obtaining internal and basal glacier parameters required by physical models is challenging, often...

High mountain environments, characterized by extreme climates, complex terrain, and socio-environmental challenges, are increasingly vulnerable to global change. Anthropogenic climate change accelerates glacier retreat, snowline shifts, and cryospheric hazards, impacting ecosystems and downstream c...

The aim of the work was to study interaction of Yersinia pestis with soil nematodes isolated on the territory of the Gorno-Altai high-mountain plague focus. Materials and methods. We used the fluorescent Y. pestis strain KM2083, a derivative of the natural strain of the 4.ANT phylogenetic line, the...

High Mountain Asia (HMA) holds the highest concentration of frozen water outside the polar regions, serving as a crucial water source for more than 1.9 billion people. Precipitation represents the largest source of uncertainty for future hydrological modelling in this area. In this study, we propose...

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) is the headwater area for major Asian rivers, providing a vast amount of freshwater to billions of people in Asia. These rivers also make their surrounding areas highly vulnerable to destructive water‐related disasters. However, the complex spatiotemporal variabilit...

Abstract Seasonal forecasting of precipitation variability over High Mountain Asia (HMA) remains a big challenge, as current dynamical models struggle to accurately capture its seasonal evolution. In this study, we identify key spatiotemporal patterns of rainy‐season precipitation anomalies across H...

The aim of the study was to characterize and carry out molecular-genetic identification of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strains isolated in the Sarydzhaz high-mountain focus of the Tien-Shan.Materials and methods. The Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis cultures were differentiated according to their...

Rock glaciers are debris landforms formed by long-term creep of ice-rich permafrost. Their kinematics provide critical insights for climate change and permafrost studies, mountain hydrology, and hazard assessment. Previous studies have measured rock glacier velocities using field-based terrestrial g...

One of the ways to solve the problem of obtaining ecologically safe agricultural products is introduction of a special crop rotation based on organic farming in clean phytosanitary zone of the highlands of the republic. Spatial isolation of the mountain zone will allow growing high-quality ecologica...

The review is devoted to discussing the results of survey in the Hissar high-mountain natural plague focus on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan in 2015–2023. Regular examination of the focus was carried out in 1970–1991. According to its results, the main carrier of the plague pathogen was...

Abstract High Mountain Asia (HMA) is among the most vulnerable water towers globally and yet future projections of water availability in and from its high‐mountain catchments remain uncertain, as their hydrologic response to ongoing environmental changes is complex. Mechanistic modeling approaches i...

Unique automated meteorological observations were carried out on the southern slope of Elbrus, near Pastukhov Rocks, at 4700 m a.s.l., during the 2021–2022 accumulation season. Data were obtained on air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, snowdrift and radiation fluxes with a temporal r...
