A quantification of ecosystem services of glacier forelands, in terms of carbon dioxide exchanges, will be presented, together with the main drivers and temporal trends.
Indigenous environmental relationality and new cosmopolitical arenas in Andean Argentina
We contrast indigenous and non-indigenous practices of relation between humans and other-than-humans, at the same time highlighting the emergence of a new “cosmopolitical” arena in Andean Argentina.
Metabolic state of native microbiome influences soil respiration and Q10 in alpine and subalpine grasslands
We examine the relationship between soil respiration and microbial gene copies in (sub)alpine grassland soils, providing new insights into microbial metabolic states and climate change impacts.
Assessment of ecosystem services for climate change adaptation in the Alps under the European Nature Restoration Law scenario
We evaluated the ecosystem services that the implementation of Nature-based Solutions would provide in the Alps if the targets of the Nature Restoration Law are met.
Ecosystem CO2 exchange in complex terrain
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
Leveraging social-ecological system networks: Co-developing Theory of Change for desirable mountain futures
This action research explores how change agents drive transformations in mountain communities in Italy and Peru applying social-ecological system network analysis and Theory of Change co-development.
Estimating complex topographic changes in mountain regions from 3D point clouds
We regard the topographic evolution change as the deformation of Riemann manifold surfaces to estimate rigid and non-rigid changes from point clouds for mountain monitoring applications.
Impact of Ecological Dynamics on the Macrozoobenthic Communities in the Spring-fed Havel River, Garhwal Himalaya, India.
Impact of ecological factors on the Havel River’s macrozoobenthic diversity, highlighting the decline in EPT taxa and need for habitat conservation.
Heat and drought in the Australian subalpine: testing for plasticity and co-ordination among above and below ground traits
This study investigates trait plasticity, and trait coordination, in above and below ground traits in 5 Australian subalpine species in response to simulated climate stress.
Evaluating community patterns of Geometridae moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) in the North Western Himalayan region: insights, trends and future research directions
Geometridae moth communities exhibited seasonal variations and a hump-shaped elevational pattern in the North Western Himalayan mountain range, influenced by environmental factors and species turnover
