Bat activity in Western Alps peaks at 1,600m, probably due to prey abundance, but is primarily driven by nighttime temperature and elevation. Bat passages also occur at 3,100m
Collaborative Pathways to Sustainable SES Management: Lessons from Participatory Scenario Planning in Kilimanjaro
Using participatory approach, we synthesized stakeholders’ perceived future scenarios in Kilimanjaro and management actions that enhance NCP, improve quality of life, and support sustainable SES.
Current conditions impose a large climatic debt on mountain plants
Vital rates measurements demonstrate a pronounced disequilibrium between climate and high mountain plant species distribution even at fine spatial resolution.
Mountain tourism and climat change in Cévennes National Park : trend, challenges and adaptation in fresh areas
Fresh recreational activities are changing in mountain due to climate change, increasing pressure on aquatic ecosystem. We analysed fresh areas in PNC to optimize their management and conservation
