Abstract
  • At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century freshwater has moved to the top of the international agenda as an issue for global concern and action. Future climate change will have direct and indirect consequences on water resources in mountain regions through impacts on water quantity, water quality and the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems. Although the primary impacts will occur at high elevation in headwater systems, many of the consequences will be transmitted downstream to lowland regions changing conditions both for natural ecosystems and for human use. In this direction this module tries to answer to the following key questions: •How will changes affect the physical features of the water cycle and in consequence the chemical transport processes of mountain watershed? •How will changes affect biogeochemical processes (nutrients, solutes and metals) from glaciers, through soils and streams to glacial lakes? •How will climate change affect the water cycle of pollutants as trace metals, POPs and black carbon in mountain lakes and their watersheds? •How will climate change affect the biodiversity and functioning of mountain lakes?
