Journal Title：Journal Of Mountain Science

The Journal of Mountain Science (JMS) is devoted to mountains and their surrounding lowlands - ecoregions of particular global importance, with a particular emphasis on the important highlands/ mountains in the world, such as the Tibetan Plateau, the Himalayas, the Alps, the Andes, the Rockies and many other mountain ranges of our planet.

JMS mainly publishes academic and technical papers concerning environmental changes and sustainable development in mountain areas under natural conditions or / and with the influence of human activities.

It also accepts book reviews and reports on mountain research and introductions to mountain research organizations.

This journal pays particular attention to the relationships between mountain environment changes and human activities, including the processes, characteristics and restoration of mountain ecosystem degradation; dynamic processes, and the theory and methods of controlling mountain hazards, such as debris, landslides and soil erosion; the protection and development of special mountain resources; culture diversity and local economic development in mountain regions; and ethnic issues and social welfare in mountain areas.

Academic papers should display universal, strategic and innovative characteristics in both theory and practice. Technical papers should report on development programmes, project planning and community actions.

We especially welcome papers which emphasize the application of new technologies, such as GIS and remote sensing, in mountain research and development, and the papers on new concepts and new methods deriving from disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research in mountains.

《山地科學雜志》（JMS）致力于研究山地及其周圍的低地——具有全球重要性的生態區域，特別強調世界上重要的高地/山地，例如青藏高原、喜馬拉雅山、阿爾卑斯山、安第斯山脈、落基山脈和地球上的許多其他山脈。

《山地科學雜志》主要發表有關自然條件下或/和受人類活動影響的山區環境變化與可持續發展的學術和技術論文。

它還接受有關山地研究的書評和報告以及山地研究組織的介紹。

本刊特別關注山地環境變化與人類活動的關系，包括山地生態系統退化的過程、特征與恢復；山地災害的動態過程和控制理論與方法，例如泥石流、滑坡和水土流失；山地特色資源的保護與開發；山區文化多樣性與地方經濟發展；以及山區民族問題和社會福利。

學術論文應在理論和實踐上具有普遍性、戰略性和創新性。技術論文應報告發展計劃、項目規劃和社區行動。

我們特別歡迎強調GIS和遙感等新技術在山地研究和發展中的應用的論文，以及從山地學科、跨學科和跨學科研究中得出的新概念和新方法的論文。
