This study investigates the multi-faceted relationships between carbon and water fluxes and vegetation in alpine ecosystems under the influence of climate change.
The impact of past droughts in the Central Apennines
We investigate the effects of droughts on the hydrological cycle and vegetation of the italian Apennines using the ecohydrological model Tethys-Chloris.
Post-disturbance forest recovery varies with climate and disturbance gradients in the European Alps
We investigate how post-disturbance recovery in the Alps varies across environmental gradients and how vapor pressure deficit influence recovery, using multi-decadal Earth observation data
When Biodiversity Speaks to Us: Temporal Changes in Macrophytes of Pyrenean High-Mountain Lakes
The study of macrophyte communities in Pyrenean high-mountain lakes reveals shifts related to environmental changes, especially pronounced when a critical threshold has been exceeded.
Transhumance in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania between tradition and modernity
Through various methods, the study analyses the dynamics of Carpathian transhumance in time and space, highlighting both traditional elements and those related to modernity.
Exploring Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions in Mountainous Regions Using Integrated In-Situ and Remote Sensing Approaches
Integrating sensors and drone thermal imagery, this study characterizes river water surface-groundwater interactions in mountainous regions, enhancing drought management
Assessing car dependency in mountain regions. The case study of a Catalan mid mountain area
Empirical analysis of the determinants of modal choices in mountain areas using a multilevel model.
Women’s Empowerment for Agroecology: Evidence from Mixed and Agropastoral Farming Systems in the Ethiopian Highlands
The study revealed that empowering women is associated with a lower pesticide use, but also a lower animal diversity index, and a higher diversity of natural vegetation and pollinators in their farm.
