Paper Abstract
The aim of the paper is mountain forest landuse/cover changes analysis due to anthropogenic and climatic stressors. Our
analysis indicates a potentially application of threshold techniques to land-cover classification and changes analysis due
to climatic effects for Romanian Carpathian mountain forest ecosystem. The climate of the Carpathians is moderately
cool and humid, with both temperature and precipitation strongly correlated with elevation. Extreme climatic events and
anthropogenic effects have a strong impact on forest ecosystem. Specific aim of this paper is to assess, forecast, and
mitigate the risks of air pollution and climatic changes and extreme events on mountain forest ecosystem in Prahova
Valley, Romanian Carpathians test area and to provide early warning strategies on the basis of spectral information
derived from Landsat TM, ETM and MODIS satellite data over 1987- 2007 period. The paper aims to describe observed
trends and potential impacts based on scenarios from simulations with regional climate models and other downscaling
procedures.
