摘要

南部非洲马洛蒂-德拉肯斯堡的南温带高山系统是乞力马扎罗山以南唯一的高山系统,使其在非洲大陆上独一无二。高差仅为300-600 m,海拔2865-3500 m左右为起伏的冈瓦南成熟侵蚀陆面高原,受到不可持续土地利用和气候变化的威胁。为了更好地了解这些挑战,南非自由州大学的非洲山地研究小组正在建立一个1200平方公里的“月源”长期社会生态研究平台。这是在Maloti-Drakensberg实施的第一个以高山为重点的长期监测协议。它横跨南非和莱索托之间的边界,也是非洲唯一的高山和跨界LTSER地区。

Africa's First Alpine and Transboundary Long-Term Socioecological Research Platform
The austrotemperate alpine system of southern Africa's Maloti–Drakensberg is the only alpine system south of Mount Kilimanjaro, making it unique on the continent. With a difference in elevation of only 300–600 m and characterized by an undulating Gondwanan mature erosional land surface plateau around 2865–3500 masl, it is threatened by unsustainable land uses and climate change. To better understand these challenges, the Afromontane Research Unit of the University of the Free State, South Africa, is setting up the 1200 km2 Mont-Aux-Sources Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research (LTSER) platform. It is the first alpine-focused, long-term monitoring protocol implemented in the Maloti–Drakensberg. Straddling the border between South Africa and Lesotho, it is also the only alpine and transboundary LTSER area in Africa.
