Description: Das Projekt "Climate Change Impacts (2001-2008) in nature resources of European mountains - a GLORIA project" wird/wurde gefördert durch: MAVA Stiftung für Naturschutz. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Universität Wien, Department für Naturschutzbiologie, Vegetations- und Landschaftsökologie.The GLORIA programme (Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments) focuses an changes in high mountain biodiversity caused by climate warming. Recent models predict up to 60 percent loss of mountain biodiversity whose contribution to overall diversity is essential (e.g., 20 percent of the total European flora); for more details see Appendix 1. GLORIA is designed to observe the mountain biota (predominantly those above treeline and those which are part of protected sites) to detect early changes, therefore providing the scientific background for a warning System and for conservation actions. GLORIA monitoring is based on a standardised procedure applied globally which allows comparative analysis. GLORIA was established by Prof. Grabherr and co-workers (Dept. of Conservation Biology, Vegetation and Landscape Ecology; University of Vienna) at the turn of the millennium as a Europe-wide long-term observation network in 18 mountain regions across the continent from the Mediterranean to the sub-arctic (see www.gloria.ac.at). Until 2007, it has expanded to 47 regions distributed over 5 continents. For the very start in 2001, seed money came from the European Commission through its 5th Framework Programme, the Austrian government, the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IGBP and MAB programmes) and the UNESCO. The setup of GLORIA sites in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and China was funded via various private, national and international grants. For the next important step, i.e. the complete re-recording of the 2001-monitored sites to assess climate warming impacts, the coming year would be the perfect date as the years between 2001 and 2008 have been particularly warm.
