The citizen science project “Adopt a Plant” led by the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (CSIC), aims to maintain a collaborative system where participants monitor plant population’s dynamics and threats.
Enhancing the Effectiveness of Protected Areas through Spatial Prioritization
This research explores how spatial prioritization with the metric climate change velocity can strengthen the resilience of protected areas, ensuring they effectively conserve biodiversity
Dispersal limitation and competition explain lags in plant elevational range shifts
Even in mountains where dispersal distances are very small, range shift lags can still be caused by dispersal limitation.
STRATEGIES AND PROJECTS FOR THE RURAL ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE: The Tower Houses in the Reggio Apennines
The tower house faces abandonment challenges. Adaptive reuse can foster sustainable practices and resilience through collaborative conservation, blending tradition with modern needs.
Microclimate Matters: Soil Temperature and Plant Community Dynamics in High-Mountain Ecosystems
The study shows how soil microclimate (snow cover duration and growing degree days), influences alpine plant community dynamics, revealing key patterns of biodiversity change in high-mountains
Climate Change Velocity and Spatial Prioritization for Mountain Biodiversity Conservation
Emerging Spatial Prioritization for Mountain Biodiversity Conservation: Identifying Hotspots, Coldspots, and Climate Refugia With Climate Change Velocity
Rock glacier springs as potential climate refugia for aquatic biodiversity in alpine headwaters
A first attempt of drawing parallels and comparisons between alpine spring habitats and the potential of rock glacier springs as climate refugia for cold adapted aquatic species.
Decline and restoration of a mountain heritage landscape in the Italian Apennines. The case of Moscheta in Tuscany
The contribution wants to highlight the land use changes that affected a heritage mountain landscape of central Italy but also the Landscape Restoration Project implemented in the last years.
Assessment of insect pollinators and risks associated with the loss of pollinators and ecosystem services in Indian Trans Himalaya Region
Documentation of insect pollinators is necessary to maintain the pollination services in fragile ecosystems of mountains
