From repairing the damaged landscape to restoration project by Céline Granjou, Stéphanie Gaucherand, Elaine Chanteloup

“…At first, revegetation techniques were developed to fight soil erosion, but soon also became associated with the idea of “turning the mountain green again”. Now, 40 years later, revegetation is aimed at restoring both a natural ecosystem and a cultural landscape. …”

The Wool-Processing Industry in an Era of Social Innovation. How Has the Situation Changed in the Massif Central (France)? by Jean-Baptiste Grison, Pierre-Antoine Landel

“…Consequently, there is evidence that social innovation in the wool-processing industry is a response to the crisis within this weakened sector of the economy; it also serves to boost regional dynamism in struggling and land-locked mountainous areas. Lastly, we found that these three initiatives have resulted in a diversification that is not limited to the woollen industry alone; sectoral innovation has thus resulted in the emergence of full-blown regional projects.…”

Postfire Burnt-Wood Management Affects Plant Damage by Ungulate Herbivores by Jorge Castro

“…Two experimental plots of ca. 20 hectares were established at two elevations in a burnt area in a Mediterranean mountain (Sierra Nevada, Spain). Three replicates of three treatments differing in post-fire burnt wood management were established per plot: “no intervention” (NI, all trees remained standing), “partial cut plus lopping” (PCL, felling the trees, cutting the main branches, and leaving all the biomass in situ), and “salvage logging” (SL; removal of logs and elimination of woody debris). …”

Application of HEC-HMS Model in Flood Simulation of Qingshan River Basin by PENG Chujie

“…It is more and more important to realize the fast simulation of flood process in the early warning of mountain flood disaster in small and medium river basins.This paper builds a distributed hydrological model for Qingshan River Basin by combining HEC-HMS model with GIS technology,extracts the characteristics of river system and conducts gridding on small basin based on DEM data,calculates the surface runoff by initial and constant loss method and Snyder unit hydrograph method,simulates the process of base flow recession through nonlinear boussinesq method,conducts the channel routing by Muskingum method,calibrates the parameters with the past 5 measured flood data,as well as verifies the prediction results by 13 floods.The simulation results show that during the verification period,the errors of peak discharge are all within 20%,the time difference for peaks is less than 3 h,the certainty coefficient is less than 0.7 for only 2 floods,and above 0.7 for others.The results show that with high accuracy and stability,the HEC-HMS model for flood simulation in this river basin conforms to the requirements of the flood forecast,which is of great application value for the exploration of small basin flood simulation and analysis.…”
