The Alpine Resilience Multisensory Lab will explore inner resilience and urban-alpine transitions. Participants will experience how they shape flexibility to adapt to global challenges.
Fires in Bohemian Switzerland as one of the consequences of climate change and procedures for protecting the unique natural environment
Huge forest fire affected 1060 hectars of the Bohemian-Saxon Switzerland National Park in July 2022. Presentation describing impact of fire to nature and our cooperation with the National Park.
Glacier Retreat Reshapes Aquatic Food Webs and Nutritional Resources in Alpine Catchments
Glacier retreat alters alpine stream food webs by enhancing periphyton growth and shifting invertebrate biomass and fatty acid composition, with potential consequences for energy transfer and ecosyste
Can Microbes Inform about Vulnerability of Spring Waters — Assessment of Microbial Communities and Water Quality in Austrian Springs
Climate change threatens alpine springs, vital freshwater sources. ECOSPRING explores impacts on water quality and microbial life, guiding conservation in Austria’s changing landscapes.
Thermal benefits of breeding inside rock cavities for high elevation songbirds
Mountain-top bird species face extreme conditions, shaping breeding site selection. We monitored alpine nests in temperate Andes. Rock cavities buffer temperatures, potentially enhancing breeding success and adaptation to harsh weather
Bird taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic distributions across elevational gradients in the temperate Andes.
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.
Challenging Alpine Borders: The Case of Larix Decidua
Interventions redefine ecotones by actively shaping new ecological assemblages. Thriving on the remains of extraction, European Larches show possibilities of life in anthropological ruins.
Monitoring Shrub Disturbances in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 1990 to 2022 Using the LandTrendr Algorithm
Using the LandTrendr algorithm, this study analyzed shrub disturbance occurrences and affected areas across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau over a 32-year period.
Experiences on the assessment of the protective role of forest against natural hazards in the Pyrenees
By performing different dynamic and static impact tests, we provide baseline data to describe how effectively a protective forest resists natural hazards and how wood-based structures can enhance that
