Abstract

This chapter lays down the foundations for some of the important questions that will be raised about hydrological (Chap. 9) and geomorphological (Chap. 10) functioning of the mountains, as well as various aspects of landscape transformation in mountain areas and its use by human societies (Chaps. 11 and 12).
