Irrigation changes local temperatures and precipitation patterns, which impacts glacier evolution in High Mountain Asia. It favors glacier growth and partially offsets climate change-induced retreat..
Development of a Precipitation Proxy for High Mountain Asia
Glacier mass balance is used as a proxy measurement for precipitation at high altitude in High Mountain Asia.
Up to the future – unravelling effects of warming and competition on range-expanding plant species through phenological insights
An upslope transplantation field experiment reveals that competition outweighs warming in shaping the reproductive success of upwards shifting lowland plant species.
High-resolution hydrometeorological and snow data for the Dischma catchment in Switzerland
Presentation of an hourly hydrometeorological and snow dataset from the alpine Dischma watershed and its surroundings in eastern Switzerland, including station measurements of runoff and snow data
Global sublimation estimates at ecosystem monitoring sites across the Northern Hemisphere
We provide the first Northern Hemisphere-scale sublimation estimates, revealing that sublimation-driven water loss can reach up to 15% of annual precipitation at flux tower sites.
Glacier Extents in Mountain Biosphere Reserves: A first assessment
This study presents the first global inventory of glaciated areas within UNESCO-designated (mountain) biosphere reserves, highlighting its associated challenges and opportunities.
Mapping governance for Alpine biodiversity: enhancing coordination and cooperation through a novel visual tool
A novel Alpine biodiversity governance map that visualises multi-level governance structures and relationships, fostering transparency and strengthening cooperation for biodiversity protection.
