Zusammenfassung
In the Himalayas of Nepal, the altitude belt which is put to agricultural use reaches approximately twice the height of that of the Alps, due to the favourable climate of its monsoon tropical location. Arable farming is carried out from the foreland up to an altiude of over 4000 m. High altitude pasture land can even be found at over 5000 m. Comparing vegetation, climate and land-use at different altitude levels shows that traditional agriculture in the Nepalese Himalayas has been closely adapted to the climatic conditions.Verknüpfung zu Publikationen oder weiteren Datensätzen
