Forest disturbance and degradation in western Himalayan moist temperate forest of Pakistan

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This research aims to investigate forest disturbances and the underlying factors driving forest degradation in the past several decades in the western Himalaya, Pakistan. The results revealed four major disturbance sources (geological, climatic, biotic, and anthropogenic). Data (frequency of events) were recorded using point and fixed area methods (0,1 ha). The analysis shows average frequency (0,045 or 27% of disturbance) through climatic sources (natural fire, wind, snow and floods, which shows the impact of climate change on these mountains, Landslides damaged large areas (11%-16 %) through a geological source. Humans also have a great impact on land clearing for agriculture and infrastructure (35%) from logging, shifting cultivation and counter fire. Most of the disturbances occurred on higher altitudes (more than 2,800 m a.s.l.), whereas the mid-range elevation (1,900-2,700 m a.s.l.) were only influenced by snow. The landslide was recorded on low elevation (more than 1,900 m a.s.l.), but there a
