The changing climate, the warming of the world and acid rain are
among the greatest problems facing us at the end of the twentieth
century. This book describes, for the first time, the effects of
these phenomena on the high mountains and the forests of Europe.
Mountains and the frozen regions (the cryosphere) not only play a
major part in our climatic system, but are also central to our
water supplies. Yet our glaciers are shrinking, our lakes and soils
are becoming acidified, our forests are damaged and the whole
fragile ecosystem of ranges like the Alps and the Caucasus is
threatened. Nilsson and Pitt present the evidence and assess the
probable effects of these changes on mountain society, tourism,
water, flora and fauna. They also examine the uncertainties. Above
all they look, too, at the best possible strategies in response to
What is happening and at what the next steps should be. Originally
published in 1991
