The study compares three scenarios in two communities of the Peruvian Andes. It uses GIS, interviews, and a workshop, revealing climate vulnerability but with different effects depending on geography.
Optimization of protected areas on the Tibetan plateau under climate change
Conservation efforts are facing climate risks. This study identifies conservation gaps and proposes adjustments to improve resilience and integrity of ecosystems.
To what extent do forest floor litter layer retention & evaporation affect Alpine water budgets?
Forest floor litter layers retain significant amounts of annual precipitation, thereby influencing the magnitudes of soil recharge and evaporation in Alpine environments.

The personal sphere of transformative change in researchers and stakeholders working on nature and mountains
This paper explores the inner world of a group of Western scientists and stakeholders, in relation to theories of transformative change.
LiDAR-based modeling of the interaction between natural disturbances and wildfire behaviour: new outcomes for Italian Alpine forests
This research explores the combined effects of windstorms and bark beetle outbreak on wildfire behaviour in Italian forests, using ALS data and FlamMap modeling to assess changes in wildfire dynamics.
Geographic patterns in the global predictability of treeline elevation
Treeline elevation is highly predictable based on climate, but we detected and discuss global geographic patterns in this apparent predictability, encouraging further research.
Dynamics of natural regeneration following the 2006 windstorm in the mountain forests of the Slovenian Alps
A severe 2006 windstorm in the Julian Alps reshaped forest dynamics. Long-term monitoring revealed shifts in tree regeneration, with declining spruce and rising broadleaved species, influenced by site
