Abstract Shifts in plant species and biome distribution response to warming have been described past climate changes. However, reported evidence of such shifts under current change is still scarce. By comparing 1945 vegetation the Montseny mountains (Catalonia, NE Spain), we report here a progressive replacement cold‐temperate ecosystems by Mediterranean ecosystems. Beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) forest has shifted altitudinally upwards ca. 70 m at highest altitudes (1600–1700 m). Both beech...
Altitudinal upward shifts of species’ ranges have occurred across a wide range taxonomic groups and geographical locations during the twentieth century in response to current climate warming. However, actual data plant altitudinal are still scarce not always clear. Here we provide more detailed investigation previously reported European beech Fagus sylvatica forest shift Montseny Mountains (Catalonia, NE Spain) now based on field photographic survey population age structure recruitment...

This paper explores how medicinal plant knowledge of the Waorani (Ecuador) varies with socio-economic and demographic factors. Medicinal was compared at individual community levels. Semi-structured interviews were performed 56 informants (men N= 29, women 27) between 15 70 years old in five communities located within Yasuní National Park Ethnic Reserve. We found a positive correlation an informant’s age, negative schooling. Reasons behind these findings are thought to be rapid socio-cultural...
Abstract The increase of tourism to the Antarctic continent may entail not only local but also global environmental impacts. These latter impacts, which are mainly caused by transport, have been generally ignored. As a result, there is lack data on impacts in terms energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. This paper presents applies methodology for quantifying CO 2 emissions, both vessel fleet as whole per passenger (both trip day). results indicate that average tourist Antarctica...
Local knowledge and land use practices, along with the multiple visions of landscapes local actors, can provide information complementary to that conventional scientific appraisals. The goal this study is understand how people actually recognize different landscape units environmental goods services provided by units. For purpose we created a Landscape Perception Unit Type Importance Value Index (LPTIVI) responds need evaluate from cultural standpoint. Our contribution provides...
This article evaluates, from an industrial ecology (IE) perspective, the energy performance of services inside urban system and determines their global environmental impact. Additionally, this study which are most demanding efficiency use per visitor surface area unit. The under is Montjuïc park in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, can be considered a system. In case we distinguished different patterns consumption among service fields and, by studying each field individually, found efficient...

Este artículo describe experiencia más diez años aplicación del IAP al Área Natural Cinquera (ANC) en El Salvador, cual es gestionada por comunidades campesinas locales con una historia organización y arraigo territorio viene desde conflicto armado década 1980. expone círculo...
Numerous studies show the benefits that contact with natural environment have for human health, but there are few on role of Protected Natural Areas (PNAs), either from preventive point view or their potential benefits, individuals health problems. A study was made relationship between visitation Montseny Park and Biosphere Reserve perspective a population group different diseases. total 250 patients resident in areas near park were surveyed, recording beliefs about nature, as well reasons...
This paper explores how the medicinal plant knowledge of Waorani indigenous society in Ecuador varies accordance with both socio-economic and demographic factors. Medicinal was compared at individual community levels. Fifty-nine semi-structured interviews (men n = 30, women 29) were performed people between fifteen seventy years old five communities located within Yasuní Biosphere Reserve. Results show a positive correlation an individual’s age, negative schooling,...
