Bird diversity components are positively correlated. Diversity shifts with the treeline, with higher species turnover above it. Highlights comprehensive approaches to mountain bird conservation.
Lags and non-linearities in climate change impacts on alpine plants and vegetation, as revealed by whole-community transplant experiments
Whole-community transplant experiments reveal processes underlying lagged plant and community responses to climate change.
Walk of Water – Water Towers
The Alps, Europe’s Water Towers, face rapid glacier loss. This session explores conservation efforts, protective sheets, and community action through visual storytelling, fostering dialogue on policy.
Reviving Mountain Ecology through Water Resource Management: Integrating Local Knowledge and Geospatial Tools for Resilience in the Himalayas.
This study integrates local knowledge and geospatial tools to address Himalayan water degradation, using watershed management and community-driven revival of Gad Ganga to propose a scalable framework.
Mapping and quantifying Soil Organic Carbon stocks from the treeline to permafrost regions in the Swiss Alps
Cold regions hold vast soil carbon pools, but their stability under climate change remains uncertain. We mapped SOC stocks across the Swiss Alps, highlighting alpine grasslands’ role in carbon budgets
Hills and mountain ranges in Mexico Basin, an opportunity to conservation.
The mountains and ranges of the Basin of Mexico fulfill important functions for its more than 20 million inhabitants. They are a refuge for biodiversity and historical and cultural landmarks.
Adapted spatial planning instruments and nature based solutions to protect against natural hazards in mountainous areas – solutions for civil society in selected catchments in the LTSER Eisenwurzen
Mountain regions are vulnerable due to climate,natural hazards and settlement expansion. Solutions for civil society against natural hazards & natural resources management are analysed in catchments
Livelihood Resilience Measurement and Group Differences of Ecological Migrants at Extremely High Altitude: A Case Study at Senburi Resettlement in Xizang, China
Revealling variations in livelihood resilience among Xizang’s high-altitude ecological migrants, emphasizing targeted interventions to enhance economic capacity, skills, and governance.
A vanishing human-wildlife relationship in the Eastern Carpathians, Romania
A significantly simplifying relationship between local farmers and wild animals was documented in a European rural community with far-reaching consequences for the everyday life and nature conservatio
The effect of forest structure and natural dynamics on species richness a functional biodiversity of saproxylic beetles in the mixed beech dominated primary forests of the Western Carpathians.
Saproxylic beetles are, therefore, an ideal group for understanding the relationships between the dynamics, structure and biodiversity of natural forests.
