Glacier Shrinkage and Environmental Impacts in the Tropical High Mountains of Africa
Mountain glaciers around the world have been retreating since the beginning of the 20th century. Glaciers in the tropical alpine zones of Africa are shrinking at a particularly fast rate. In the early 1900s, research in the tropical high mountains was exploratory, with observations of landforms, vegetation, and ecosystems, and the discovery of glaciers. During the 1950s to 1980s, the main research trend was to elucidate changes in the masses of g…
Glacial Fluctuation and Vegetation Succession on Tyndall Glacier, Mt Kenya
Dramatic changes are taking place in the glacier-covered high mountains of Africa. The glacial area on Mt Kilimanjaro is now only half as large as it was in the 1970s. The Tyndall Glacier on Mt Kenya, which retreated at approxi-retreated at approximately 3 m/yr from 1958 to 1997, retreated at about 10 m/yr from 1997 to 2002. Pioneer species such as Senecio keniophytum, Arabis alpina, mosses, lichen, and Agrostis trachyphylla have advanced over ar…
