Rural mountain regions face increasing farm abandonment. New succession models offer sustainable solutions. “Perspektive Landwirtschaft” shares insights about non familial farm succession in Austria.
Co-design of climate change adaptation and sustainable development pathways in la Cerdanya mountain community. A case study of collaborative network governance and stakeholders of La Molina Mountain and Ski resort
A case study was conducted to identify future sustainable development pathways for Cerdanya community where recreational economy of skiing, tourism and sport are a key sector of economic development
Urbanization, verticality, and networks in mountain cities
This study examines how planetary urbanization redefines the categories of “wild,” “rural,” and “urban” in mountainous regions, exploring rural-urban interconnections across altitudinal gradients.
New forms of commoning contribute to Living Well in the mountains: examples from the Swiss Alps
In the Swiss Alps, self-organised initiatives forming “new mountain commons” foster local resources management, revitalising villages and enhancing resident’s quality of life.
Developing a sustainability certification scheme for a green and good governance of outdoor sport events
The Green Trail Concept (GTC) project is an ERASMUS+ initiative that enhances trail running event management through sustainable practices, addressing environmental, social, and economic impacts.
Wildfire risk in mountain areas: focusing on the vulnerability in the wildland-urban interface (WUI)
Wildfire risk in central and northern Europe is growing. Vulnerability assessments of buildings and infrastructure located in the WUI are key for DRR and effective resource allocation.
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
From Mountains to Data: Low-Cost Weather Stations in Kyrgyzstan’s Challenging Terrain
2nd-tier weather stations and IoT sensors along with the LoRaWAN technology provide opportunity to monitor vast areas in the mountainous areas of the world and forecast natural disasters
Data-Driven Model Transferability for Streamflow Simulation in Southern Tibetan Plateau Catchments
This study develops a data-driven model using ERA5 precipitation and observed streamflow data to simulate streamflow in data-scarce regions, enhancing water resource management and hydrological .
Upward migration of snowline in the Alps and impact on Elevation-Dependent Warming in MAR simulations over 1961-2100
In three MAR simulations under different climate scenarios, the snow-albedo feedback and energy used to melt snow are found to be drivers of Elevation-Dependent-Warming in the Alps.
