In large part, this is because of its extremes of physiographical structure- plains, hill ranges, mountainous massifs - and wide range of altitudinal terrains, which represent and replicate South Asian and East Asian continental conditions differing as markedly as humid tropical lowlands, sub-tropical hill ranges and temperate to sub-arctic mountainous environments. Associated forest regimes, in which deforestation and reforestation patterns have evolved in recent times, and differing densities of settlement and cleared agricultural landscapes in each of these altitudinal zones, add to the environmental diversity of Nepal. Associated fauna and exotic species are in various states of endangerment especially Bengal tigers, one horned rhinos, wild elephants, crocodile, musk deer, and peasants, to name a few- so that their forested and mountainous habitats as 'Wild Life Reserves' also deserve our attention, and are featured in this monograph's remit. 001433197 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 8, 2021). 001433197 650_0 $$aEnvironmental geography$$zNepal. 001433197 650_0 $$aEnvironmental protection$$zNepal. 001433197 650_0 $$aSustainable development$$zNepal. 001433197 650_0 $$aGeographic information systems. 001433197 650_0 $$aNature conservation. 001433197 650_0 $$aHuman geography. 001433197 650_0 $$aGeophysics. 001433197 650_6 $$aGéographie de l'environnement$$zNépal. 001433197 650_6 $$aEnvironnement$$xProtection$$zNépal. 001433197 650_6 $$aDéveloppement durable$$zNépal. 001433197 650_6 $$aSystèmes d'information géographique. 001433197 650_6 $$aNature$$xConservation. 001433197 650_6 $$aGéophysique. 001433197 651_0 $$aNepal$$xEnvironmental conditions. 001433197 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001433197 7001_ $$aConway, Dennis$$c(Professor of geography),$$eauthor. 001433197 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030501662 001433197 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030501679 001433197 830_0 $$aAdvances in Asian human-environmental research,$$x1879-7180 001433197 852__ $$bebk 001433197 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-50168-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001433197 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1433197$$pGLOBAL_SET 001433197 980__ $$aBIB 001433197 980__ $$aEBOOK 001433197 982__ $$aEbook 001433197 983__ $$aOnline 001433197 994__ $$a92$$bISE
