Abstract
In changing climatic conditions with rising surface air temperatures mountain regions with their characteristic environment and accumulated snow deserve special attention and sustainable management. To investigate the sensitivity of mountain catchments to global warming, this study explores potential trends for hydro-climatic variables between 1957 and 2016 (60 years). Based on the Mann-Kendall test results, upward trends in air temperature were found from April to August; they are accompanied by less frequent but significant trends in precipitation, with increases in precipitation for January and May, but a decrease for December. For river flow, significant upward trends were identified only for January, in line with precipitation trends. In addition, comparative analyzes of changes for two 30-year periods (1987–2016 versus 1957–1986) corroborate the main change directions and provide detailed information for more realistic future land and water management in the mountain catchments studied.
