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
Effects of habitat fragmentation on quality of silver fir seed sources in Austria
Silver fir reforestation is hindered by low quality of silver fir seed. Habitat fragmentation negatively affects seed quality, highlighting the need for seeds from large, continuous populations.
Insights from a multi-approach analysis of Vieux Marinet rock glacier (French Alps) to better understand the context and characteristics of climate impacts on periglacial landforms.
Through Vieux Marinet rock glacier, our study aims to describe its historical activity evolution in order to identify the nature and chronology of external forcing using TCN dating, RS and ERT.
Asexual reproduction by the fungus-breeding ant Lasius fuliginosus in the eastern Alps
The asexual reproduction of Lasius fuliginosus provides new insights into the mode of reproduction and the social structure of ants living in mountain ecosystems.
Stem wood density variability and compression wood proportions in European treeline seedlings of Picea abies.
This study quantifies stem WD variations in Norway spruce treeline seedlings, revealing potential compression wood’s role in stem structure and ecological performance
Hidden Carbon Hotspots: The Role of Alpine Springs in the Global CO₂ budget
Our study reveals high CO₂ concentrations in alpine springs with significant spatial and temporal variability, highlighting thier important yet overlooked role in carbon cycling.
Snow detection: A test of the capture capabilities of near ground temperature time series
Exploration of snow effects on microclimate in mild cold ecosystems
Review of acoustic recording units deployment techniques for acoustic monitoring in mountains: Proposing the APRISM-D guideline
Mountains are challenging to study, especially when you unstandardized approaches
Mountaineering as a driver of environmental and social changes: case of Tirich Glacier (Hindukush) and Baltoto Glacier (Karakorum)
Torism in high mountain areas represents a high danger for environment but has a positive effect on well being of local communities.
Impact of extreme weather events on mass and energy balance of a polar glacier: examples from Svalbard
We use field measurements and energy-balance modeling to show how extreme weather events drive unprecedented mass loss, contributing to Aldegondabreen’s record-breaking negative mass balance.
