文摘

An Alpine community participated in a study on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). We calculated trends of Land Use Change (LUC) in an Alpine region for 150 years. We mixed TEK questionnaires, statistics, historical data, GIS, and future scenarios. We found that a clear trend of forest cover expansion and open areas loss is in place. LUC, in particular open areas loss is a suitable proxy for TEK loss in the Alps.
