This contribution presents a methodology based on stakeholder involvement to explore adaptation strategies for mountain regions and their resorts through social and technological innovation.
Validation of ICON-LES from HEFEXII field campaign observations
Mountain-top bird species face extreme conditions, shaping breeding site selection. We monitored alpine nests in temperate Andes. Rock cavities buffer temperatures, potentially enhancing breeding success and adaptation to harsh weather
Bridging the Adaptation Gap: Assessing GLOF Risks and Response Strategies in the Hindu Kush Himalaya.
This study examines GLOF risks alongside response strategies adopted by HKH countries and the available international assistance supporting their implementation to identify critical adaptation gaps.
Living in Mountain Areas in Protohistory: New Approaches to Territorial Analysis in Central Italy.
This study examines Late Bronze Age upland settlements in Central Italy using LiDAR and archaeological data to analyze settlement patterns, defense strategies, and new methodological approaches.
Changing Mountain Groundwater
Groundwater plays is crucial for mountain hydrologic systems. We present research on long-term groundwater trends in mountain regions using data from groundwater observation wells..
Interplays between nature’s contributions to people, values of nature, and emotions expressed by smallholder farmers: insights for inclusive conservation
Smallholder farmers reveal three interplays between NCP, values, and emotions, urging inclusive conservation via expanded benefit-sharing, recognizing plural connections, and rethinking restrictions.
Unravelling the fish communities and associated habitat parameters in Tissa river system of Arunachal Pradesh, eastern Himalaya, India.
This study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of species-environment interactions, conservation of endemic fish species providing implementable insights into habitat management & conservation.
Bridging Digital and Sustainability Transitions for Smart, Sustainable Uplands
Explores the twin transition: digital and sustainability transformations to create smart, sustainable mountain regions that address governance challenges, stakeholder inclusion, and change pathways.
Ecology, floristic-vegetational features and future perspectives of spruce forests affected by Ips typographus: insights from the Southern Alps
We model current and future severe bark beetle outbreaks in the Southern Alps, examine disturbance-driven plant succession, and address the ecological implications of the extensive presence of snags.
Microclimate gradients after natural forest expansion have the potential to contribute to climate buffering in mountain ecosystems
Natural forest expansion after agro-pastoral abandonment shapes mountain microclimates. Our framework highlights microclimate gradients in forest succession, emphasizing replicability across mountain.
