“…This has been identified in several mountain areas of Ethiopia (Mekonen, 2020), China (Hao et al, 2018), Greece (Fetzel et al, 2018) and Central Asia (Nowak et al, 2020), to mention some. For instance, overgrazing reduces the grassland capacity to store carbon (e.g., Zhou et al, 2020), grassland biodiversity (e.g., Nowak et al, 2020), increases soil and nutrient loss (e.g., Zheng et al, 2017;Li et al, 2019b) and reduce pollinators abundance (Naeem et al, 2019). Mountain Forest overexploitation (e.g., timber production) is also a reality in several environments (e.g., Payne et al, 2020), imposing a degradation in the capacity of these ecosystems to regulate global and local climate, air quality (Rawat et al, 2021), water purification, flow, erosion and nutrient regulation (e.g., Negash et al, 2021), natural hazards and pollination.…”
