Mountain surface processes and regulation

Abstract Mountains cover about a quarter of the world’s land surface, and directly support a significant proportion of the world’s population living within mountainous regions. Mountains provide water, timber and non-timber forest products, mineral resources, and many other food, fiber, and fuel pro...

description Abstract Mountains cover about a quarter of the world’s land surface, and directly support a significant proportion of the world’s population living within mountainous regions.
