We analyzed tree cover change during 40 years (10m resolution) in Switzerland and hence can specify hotspots of woody encroachment, which is relevant for carbon biodiversity change and carbon storage
Academic networks as boundary organizations: pollinators for transformative change in mountain regions
The talk introduces the concept of boundary organizations as pollinators for transformative change in mountain regions through a concrete example of the Himalayan University Consortium.
The Mountain Legacy Voices Project: Past and present mountain voices speak to the future
Introducing the Mountain Voices project, a tribute to the mountains of western Canada connecting extensive mountain archival imagery with a diverse range of personal mountain interactions.
Pattern in alpine summit vegetation in the Northern Alps (Nationalpark Berchtesgaden, Germany) explained by variation in microclimate, soil temp and soil moisture
First time comparison of GeoPrecision versus TOMST data logging for assessing GLORIA summit microclimate.
Mountain invasion research on oceanic islands
On an oceanic island alien species richness peaks at mid-elevation and is best explained by microclimate offset between disturbed and undisturbed habitat.
Forest spatial structure dynamics after bark beetle outbreak
This study investigates the regeneration of mountain spruce forest following a bark beetle outbreak, with a focus on the spatial structure dynamics after disturbance.
Application of remote sensing data for assessing high mountain vegetation condition along tourist trails.
Tourism threatens alpine vegetation. This study used multi-platform remote sensing to assess trampling impact. Key indices and spectral data identified degraded areas, aiding conservation efforts.
Drought, snowmelt, and vegetation stress in the Pyrenees: insights from ecohydrological modeling
An ecohydrological modeling approach to assess drought-driven changes in snow dynamics and vegetation stress in the Pyrenees, with implications for mountain ecosystems and downstream water resources.
Tracing the Past, Managing the Future: Ecosystem Functions across natural and anthropogenic gradients in Darjeeling Himalayas
Examining biodiversity and ecosystem functions in Neora Valley National Park to optimize forest management strategies and enhance conservation efforts in the Darjeeling Himalayas.
Status of Deforestation and Forest Degradation and Drivers thereof in Indo-Himalayan region
This study examines deforestation and forest degradation in the Indo-Himalayan region, estimating carbon stock, assessing forest status, identifying D&FD drivers, and proposing strategic solutions.
