Abstract Rural abandonment is a significant process in the Mediterranean region, posing sustainability challenges for rural and urban areas. Although there is an increase in studies focusing on the ecological implications and impacts of land abandonment and the role of rewilding, there is a knowledge gap in the study of the socio-cultural dimension of abandonment from the local perspective, even though it is crucial for land management decision. This study focuses on a case study in Western Spain, where a social survey was used to assess the perceptions of local communities regarding land abandonment and their implication on nature’s contributions to people and quality of life. A survey campaign was administered in the case study region during the summer of 2020, collecting 205 face-to-face surveys. The results show that local communities overall have a negative reaction toward rural abandonment. In addition, local respondents recognize how traditional agriculture is the main source for maintaining nature’s contributions to human well-being. Additionally, four groups of narratives toward rural abandonment were identified representing clusters of respondents with different motivations and interpretations of rural abandonment. This paper calls for understanding better the perceptions, values, and motivations toward rural abandonment and how their outcomes can be used as input for landscape management. Our results indicate that the local population perceives that the loss of rural livelihoods may entail serious environmental and societal problems, as locals are forced to abandon their rural-associated ways of life and migrate to urban areas.

Abstract Nepal, a Himalayan country, is often chosen by global scientists to study climate change and its impact on the Himalayan environment. The changes in temperature, precipitation, glaciers, and glacial lakes over Nepal are comprehensively reviewed based on published literature and compared with regional studies. Furthermore, the published glacier datasets were used to calculate and analyze the changes in area, equilibrium line of altitude (ELA) and ice reserves to show the response of glaciers to climate change. We find that the warming trend (0.02 to 0.16 °C yr −1 ) is being more pronounced over Nepal, and heterogeneous changes in precipitation amount, pattern, and frequency are observed with no significant trend. Concurrently, the glaciers are found to be responding with heterogeneous shrinkage in area (− 1 to − 5 km 2 yr −1 ), possessing negative mass balance (− 0.3 to − 0.8 m w.e. yr −1 ), decrease in ice volume (− 4.29 km 3 yr −1 ) and upward shift of the ELA (~ 20.66 m decade −1 ). The total decrease in ice reserve (− 128.84 km 3 ) of Nepal has resulted in ~ 0.32 mm of sea level rise in past 30 years. Moreover, the formation and surface area expansion (0.83 % yr −1 ) of glacial lakes over Nepal have been accelerated. Additionally, we note that Nepal is highly susceptible to glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) events and document a total of 45 reliable reported and unreported historical GLOF events from 39 glacial lakes across Nepal. This review will facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the current state of climate change and the identification of existing knowledge gaps in Nepal.
尼泊尔是一个喜马拉雅国家,经常被全球科学家选择研究气候变化及其对喜马拉雅环境的影响。根据已发表的文献,并与区域研究进行了比较,全面回顾了尼泊尔的温度、降水、冰川和冰川湖的变化。利用已公布的冰川资料,计算分析了冰川面积、海拔平衡线(ELA)和冰储量的变化,揭示了冰川对气候变化的响应。研究发现,尼泊尔地区的变暖趋势(0.02 ~ 0.16°C /年)更为明显,降水数量、模式和频率的异质性变化无显著趋势。同时,发现冰川具有非均匀的面积收缩(−1 ~−5 km 2 yr−1)、负质量平衡(−0.3 ~−0.8 m w.e. yr−1)、冰量减少(−4.29 km 3 yr−1)和ELA上移(~ 20.66 m 10年−1)的响应。在过去的30年里,尼泊尔的总冰储量(- 128.84 km 3)的减少导致海平面上升了~ 0.32 mm。此外,尼泊尔冰川湖的形成和表面积的扩大(0.83% yr - 1)也加快了。此外,我们注意到尼泊尔非常容易受到冰湖溃决洪水(GLOF)事件的影响,并记录了来自尼泊尔39个冰湖的45个可靠的报告和未报告的历史GLOF事件。这一审查将有助于全面了解气候变化的现状,并确定尼泊尔现有的知识差距。
