This article draws from the expanding field of climate mobilities, which explores nexus between change, environmental conditions and (im)mobility based on ‘mobilities paradigm’. Environmental hazards collide with transportation infrastructures, for instance through adverse effects floods, heat waves, ice thawing roads, may disrupt or hamper everyday mobility. Frequent disaster-induced mobility ...

We edited, redrew, and evaluated four unpublished historical vegetation maps of the Western Pamirs (Tajikistan) by the Soviet geobotanist Okmir E. Agakhanjanz. These maps cover an area of 5,188 km2 and date from 1958 to 1960. The purpose of this article is to make the historic vegetation data available to the scientific community and thus preserve a hitherto non available and up to now neglecte...

Greening and browning trends in vegetation have been observed many regions of the world recent decades. However, few studies focused on dry mountains. Here, we analyze land cover change Western Pamirs, Tajikistan. We aim to gain a deeper understanding these changes thus improve remote sensing mountainous areas. The study area is characterized by complex set attributes, making it prime example f...
