Ecological Calendars of the Pamir Mountains: Illustrating the Importance of Context-Specificity for Food Security.

Communities in the Pamir Mountains of Central Asia are among the most vulnerable to climate change due to their geographic location and subsistence-based livelihoods. Historically, ecological calendars supported their agropastoral lifestyles which provided anticipatory capacity to seasonal changes. Due to decades of Soviet colonization and socioecological transformations, knowledge of these ecological calendars fell into disuse.

Engaging Transformation: Using Seasonal Rounds to Anticipate Climate Change.

Unlabelled: Seasonal rounds are deliberative articulations of a community's sociocultural relations with their ecological system. The process of visualizing seasonal rounds informs transdisciplinary research. We present a methodological approach for to engage through context-specific sociocultural and ecological relations driven by seasonal change.
