This study presents an integrated based approach to evaluate hiking trails in protected areas, integrating GPS tracking and risk assessment to optimise management, sustainability, and visitor safety.
Hydrological Impacts of a Warm, Low-Snow Winter in the Sainte-Marthe Experimental Watershed, QC
Extreme winters are likely to happen more frequently with climate change. We observe the impact of snow accumulation and rain events on recharge and runoff in a watershed.
Mountain toponymy as heritage, The example of the summit of the Lebanon
How did the Black Corner, an apparently banal oronym, become the Martyrs’ Peak and a cornerstone in the Maronite holy landscape of Lebanon?
The Role of Snow in Soil Freeze and Thaw dynamics Across an Elevational Gradient in the Snake Range, Nevada, USA
We need to improve modeling of shallow snowpacks, particularly during dry years, to enhance predictions of soil temperature and moisture dynamics critical for hydrological and ecological applications.
Social relevance of glaciers water supply in the Central Andes (~33ºS)
Quantification and social perception analysis of water supply from glaciers in one of the few examples in the Andes Cordillera where the inhabitants almost entirely rely on that water source.
Effects of Climate Change on Himalayan Vegetation
Permanent alpine plots in the eastern Himalayan region show a marked increase in plant species richness over the last decade, but this increase may mask threats to vulnerable endemic species.
Recreational use and conservation: Assessing the effectiveness of trail restoration in Patagonian alpine ecosystems
Trail restoration at Frey Hut in Patagonia successfully reduced visitor impact on alpine meadows, demonstrating how strategic trail management can contribute to balance conservation and recreation.
Co-producing Climate Resilience in the Lesser Himalayan Regions of India: Darjeeling and Kalimpong
This study explores collaborative strategies for climate resilience in Darjeeling and Kalimpong, integrating traditional knowledge to enhance ecosystem sustainability and community livelihoods.
Scaling species redistributions in mountain ecosystems: insights from global and local long-term monitoring networks
Mountains exhibit high biodiversity turnover at fine scales. Capturing these dynamics is crucial for understanding species redistributions and informing conservation efforts.
Cascading impacts of climate change in the Andes attributed to anthropogenic influence
Anthropogenic climate change drives cascading impacts on the Andes’ water, biodiversity, and livelihoods, while social and economic factors further shape these vulnerabilities.
