The general phenomenon of ecosystem process are well-studied. However, in reference to the Himalayan region most of the process like nutrient cycling, water conservation, plant growth are still exploring. What are the certain changes/ modification pathways exist in Himalayan region and how it is distinct with general phenomenon. What are the circumstances leading to these changes?. How this can be linked with climate change, global warming and water conservation.
A completely unique ecosystem with its own identity in high altitude, although the foot prints of Climate Change is felt through recession of glaciers
I don't see any major changes in Himalayan region from similar region in other parts of globe
Himalaya is unique ecosystem in term of heterogonity.
In eastern region ( estern himalaya) it influenced by Bay of Bengal and in western side by Midterranian sea. Eastern himalaya dominated by tropical forest on the western side by tempreate.
Height affects the temperature.
Slopes affects the flow of water.
Soil profile and texture also shows large variation.
One more thing direction of slopes affect the rate of ice melting.
Southern slope shows faster ice melting than northern.
