This study examines ecological restoration projects in the Colombian Andes to analyze the efforts of various actors based on their objectives and actions, evaluating possible ways of working together.
Distribution and diversity of Mortierellaceae fungi in calcareous glacier forefields – An isolation-based approach
This study gives an insight into the diversity of Mortierellaceae in calcareous glacier forefields, a fungal family considered to be important for soil formation and pioneer plant establishment.
Visualizing variations in Cold Deserts.
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
Discussion on the Influence of Intermediate Principal Stress in Rock Deformation Analysis and State-of-the-Art Knowledge
The role of intermediate principal stress in the tendency for preferential propagation of cracks that affect domain stability as well as a tool to characterize them will be discussed.
Rockfalls in the Mont-Blanc massif (France) since the Little Ice Age. Quantification of volumes, frequency, and erosion rates by Terrestrial Laser Scanning and cosmogenic nuclides
Our study quantifies erosion rates in the Mont-Blanc massif, revealing accelerated rockfall activity due to the climate crisis, with significant implications for alpine hazard assessment.
Modeling social-ecological interactions in the Pyrenees and beyond: a systems approach to support sustainable decision-making
Mountains face climatic and socioeconomic changes. We model social-ecological interactions in the Pyrenees using multidisciplinary data to diagnose sustainability issues and to inform decision-making.
The impact of drought on carbonyl sulfide and CO2 fluxes in P. sylvestris and J. communis
A drought experiment measuring COS and CO2 fluxes of P. sylvestris and J. communis showed mechanical and biochemical plant limitations improving our understanding of GPP dynamics under drought
Assessing the wind hazard of mountain forests through high-resolution remote sensed and climate future projections: a pilot study in the Italian Alps
The study uses high resolution LiDAR data and climate scenarios to assess the hazard of forest wind disturbances in the Cordevole catchment, Italy. Scenarios are performed for past and future climate.
Improved characterisation of rain on snow using integrated multidisciplinary datasets
A lack of integration of rain-on-snow data sources across disciplines hinders a more comprehensive understanding of their characteristics and associated impacts on terrestrial ecosystems.
Enhancing water resilient in HKH: Climate resilient technologies for climate adaptation
The HKH region faces Climate change induced water crisis in rain-fed agriculture. This study highlights climate-resilient solutions emphasizing policy support and integrated resource management.
