大雪山など北日本の山では、高山帯のお花畑の消失に象徴される急激な環境変化が進んでいます。長年の現場観測や衛星観測から明らかになったこれらの変化を紹介します。さらに、北方山岳における生態系サービスの持続性を評価するため、そして昨年の高齢登山者遭難事故のような気象災害を未然に防ぐためには、どのような「環境観測・監視ネットワーク」が必要なのか議論します。

Environmental change is rapidly taking place in the mountains of northern Japan, such as the Daisetsuzan National Park, as represented by the decreasing diversity of alpine plants. This event will outline such changes found through field and satellite observation efforts implemented over a period of many years. The session will also include discussion of the environmental observation and monitoring network needed to assess the sustainability of ecosystem services in northern mountain areas and to prevent weather disasters such as last year’s fatal accident that killed a number of elderly hikers. We look forward to the participation of members of the general public, students and experts who are interested in mountain ecosystems and biodiversity.
