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.

《山地科学杂志》(JMS) 专门研究山脉及其周围的低地 - 具有全球重要性的生态区，特别强调世界上重要的高地/山脉，例如青藏高原、喜马拉雅山、阿尔卑斯山、安第斯山脉、落基山脉和我们星球上的许多其他山脉。

JMS主要发表关于自然条件下或/和人类活动影响下山区环境变化和可持续发展的学术和技术论文。

它还接受关于山区研究的书评和报告以及对山区研究组织的介绍。

本刊特别关注山地环境变化与人类活动的关系，包括山地生态系统退化的过程、特征和恢复；动态过程，以及控制山体灾害（如碎石、滑坡和水土流失）的理论和方法；特殊山地资源的保护和开发；山区文化多样性和地方经济发展；以及山区的民族问题和社会福利。

学术论文在理论和实践上都应具有普遍性、战略性和创新性。技术文件应报告发展计划、项目规划和社区行动。

我们特别欢迎强调GIS、遥感等新技术在山地研发中的应用的论文，以及从山地学科、跨学科、跨学科研究中衍生出的新概念、新方法的论文。
