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
The living spaces in the mountains: between climate migrations, youth return practices, and new communities.
After decades of depopulation, mountain areas are seeing a return of young inhabitants. This research explores housing challenges and architectural solutions to support sustainable repopulation.
The Reality of Citizen Participation in the Development of Moroccan Mountain Regions
This paper examines citizen participation in Moroccan mountain development, analyzing governance challenges and the role of the “Civil Coalition for the Mountain.”
Subnational reporting on mountain biodiversity protection
We compare mountain biodiversity protection at subnational scale using a site-based and an area-based approach compatible with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework targets.
Long-term monitoring of a landslide
Experiences in measuring and evaluating the long-term monitoring of a slope. Interpretation of the results and how do I recognize critical movement patterns?
Geographically distant alpine snowbeds feature distinct soil microbial communities but a common response to climate change
Soil microbial communities in snowbed habitats at two geographically distant alpine sites differ but exhibit a common pattern of change related to vegetation dynamics associated with global warming.
Sensor-based structural monitoring of rockfall protection fences
Pilot project in Germany: Use of a system for alerting in the event of dynamic impacts. Contribution to structural maintenance and monitoring, including documentation of environmental data.
Reopening of the Marienschlucht by Lake Constance
To allow the approach to the Marienschlucht a monitoring concept was developed.
Drought, snowmelt, and vegetation stress in the Pyrenees: insights from ecohydrological modeling
An ecohydrological modeling approach to assess drought-driven changes in snow dynamics and vegetation stress in the Pyrenees, with implications for mountain ecosystems and downstream water resources.
Tracing the Past, Managing the Future: Ecosystem Functions across natural and anthropogenic gradients in Darjeeling Himalayas
Examining biodiversity and ecosystem functions in Neora Valley National Park to optimize forest management strategies and enhance conservation efforts in the Darjeeling Himalayas.
