well represented relative to the size of
their mountainous areas. There has
been relatively little research in Oceania,
South and Central America, and
Africa. Meanwhile, the distributions
of elevations for their study areas (except
for the national- or global-scale
studies) as presented in the literature
and global mountainous areas are
also depicted in Figure 4. The results
indicated that the average elevation
of the study sites (1,298 m) is slightly
lower than that of the global mountains
(1,467 m). Most studies were conducted
at low elevations, ranging
from 0 to 1,000 m.
Similarly, research output and
research focus were not evenly distributed
(see Figure 5). The research
