Changes in the water retention of mountainous landscapes since the 1820s in the Austrian Alps
Interactions of humans with the environment are strongly related to land use and land cover changes (LULCCs). In the last decades, these changes have led to a degradation of ecosystem services, including water regulation and flood control. In the Alpine areas of Austria, land cover changes have incr...
