Sustainable trail management fosters nature protection and longliviety of hiking- and mountain trails. ERA and EUMA are the mayor facilitating NGOs for sustainable trail management in Europe.
How do mountain huts, mountain trails and rock-climbing areas contribute to sustainable livelihood of cities and villages in rural mountain areas, in the alps.
Mountaineering infrastructure like huts, trails, and rock-climbing areas foster sustainable livelihoods for mountain settlements addressing social-, economic-, and social sustainability.
Culture matter! The change of the sustainable development systems in the mountain regions, the threats and challenges. A case study of the Polish Tatra and Zakopane region
The paper answers the questions: how is the system of sustainable development in the mountains changing? What role does culture play in this process? How does new approach influences the tourism?
Reasons for the Summer Precipitation Variability in the Central-Eastern Himalayas
The abnormal circulation in Indian subcontinent due to the summer North Atlantic Oscillation (SNAO) has driven a positive summer precipitation in the the Central-Eastern Himalayas
Vulnerability of Mountain Infrastructures to Climate Change: Assessing Their Adaptive Capacity Through Governance in the French-Swiss Alps
Mountain infrastructures face growing climate risks. This study examines impacts on trails, huts, and routes, assessing vulnerability based on fieldwork in the French-Swiss Alps
Risks and vulnerabilities to and from Africa’s major mountain ranges
Africa’s mountains are unique, poorly studied in all disciplines, and hardly feature at continental scale in global data initiatives.
Tiger beetles as bioindicators for habitat management and conservation along the Ramganga river Western Himalaya
Study provides baseline data on tiger beetle diversity, habitat preferences in the Ramganga catchment in western Himalaya. As bioindicators emphasising their use in forest management.
Tiger beetles as bioindicators for habitat management and conservation along the Ramganga river Western Himalaya
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
Co-producing future scenarios for nature restoration and socio-ecological connectivity in mountain landscapes
We co-developed with 15 stakeholders landscape reconnection scenarios to assess how restoration actions impact socio-ecological connectivity across protected area borders.
Global mountain water yield dominated by rainfall runoff and the lower mountain reaches
Mountains cover only a small portion of earth’s river basins, but they provide one-third of the total runoff. Most of this runoff comes from rainfall at the lower mountain reaches.
