Engaging Transformation
Seasonal rounds are deliberative articulations of a community’s sociocultural relations with their ecological system. The process of visualizing seasonal rounds informs transdisciplinary research. We present a methodological approach for communities of enquiry to engage communities of practice through context-specific sociocultural and ecological relations driven by seasonal change. We first discuss historical précis of the concept of seasonal ro…

Wind and Solar Power as Possible Energy Alternatives in Peripheral High Mountains? Insights From the Eastern Pamirs of Tajikistan
Scenarios of Solar Energy Use on the “Roof of the World”
Peripheral mountain areas in developing countries are often characterized by energy poverty but also by high solar energy potential. The Eastern Pamirs of Tajikistan are a prime example of this situation, with their lack of energy infrastructure, remoteness, pressure on local natural resources, and high incident radiation amounts. An integrative assessment of the potential for photovoltaic power generation is lacking for this region, as well as f…
Factors Influencing Households' Firewood Consumption in the Western Pamirs, Tajikistan
Firewood is a major energy source, especially in many high mountainous regions in developing countries where other energy sources are limited. In the mountainous regions of Tajikistan, current energy consumption is limited owing to geographic isolation and numerous challenges—including in the energy sector—that emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Tajikistan's independence. The sudden disruption of external supplies of energy forced…
Grazing Practices and Pasture Tenure in the Eastern Pamirs
This paper deals with the relations between grazing practices, pasture potential, and property rights in the Eastern Pamirs of Tajikistan 10 years after the privatization of 1999. It provides an overview of the spatiotemporal variability of current pasture use and livestock numbers. Assumptions about pasture potential are reconsidered in relation to animals' forage needs in order to draw field-based conclusions regarding over- or underuse in part…
Analysis of costs and people's willingness to enroll in forest rehabilitation in Gorno Badakhshan, Tajikistan
Woody vegetation cover in Namibian savannahs
Die Geholzdichte in den Savannen Namibias: eine fernerkundungsgestiitzte Modellierung Savannen sind durch eine Koexistenz von Grasern und Geholzen gekennzeichnet.

In den Trockenund Dorn savannen des siidlichen Afrikas, die vorwiegend weidewirtschaftlich genutzt werden, haben unangepasste Bestockungsraten vielerorts eine st…
