Understory eddy covariance helps partition forest CO2 exchange among its components. Results using refined data processing from a Tyrolean mountain forest are presented.
Strategies for post disturbance forest regeneration in mixed species mountain forests
In the study we analyse the performance of artificially regenerated trees at four disturbed sites in the mixed spruce-beech-fir vegetation belt of the Northern Calcareous Alps over 14 years.
Predictive Analysis of Debris Flow Impact on Pipelines in Mountainous Regions: An Experimental and Machine Learning Approach
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
Protection and Conservation of Forest Resources as a Prerequisite for Preventing Soil Erosion and Flash Floods in the Mountainous Regions of the Republic of Serbia
Soil erosion poses serious challenges for the future. Aligning the development of mountain regions with nature conservation and risk mitigation for people and property is of utmost importance.
Assessing the Pressure on Fuel Biomass Extraction on Communal Forest Land in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia: Patterns of Demand, Consumption, and Sustainability Challenges
A big mismatch exists between fuel biomass availability and energy demand, impaired by deforestation. Managing sustainably is crucial for restoring communal forests and meeting future energy needs.
Socio-environmental risks at stakes when reproducing an urban development model in an Alpine Resort: The Case of Milan-Cortina Winter Games
The case of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics represents an interesting phenomenon to be analyzed through an approach that integrates both sociological and environmental dimensions.
Long-term trends in mountain forest spring vegetation exposed to acidification and drought
Here, we present results from long-term surveys of springs in the Frankonian Forest and Fichtel Mountains, highlighting their importance as an integrative monitoring system for environmental changes.
Seed germination and seedling establishment in Alpine conifers following a prescribed fire
Fire and post-fire conditions affected seed germination and seedling establishment. Stone pine exhibited greater resistance while Norway spruce and European larch showed reduced seedling establishment
Combined change detection analysis to investigate the impact of extreme meteorological events on natural instability in high mountains
A methodology is proposed to analyse the post-event conditions of an extreme meteorological event, using a combined change detection approach based on Sentinel-2 imagery and freely available data
Spatiotemporal assessment of multi-hazard exposure for buildings in Austria
We assess exposure to individual mountain hazards and multi-hazards in Austria, highlighting regional differences in building stock development and emphasising the need for tailored risk management.
