This research highlights the importance and value of private forest protection and conservation in achieving long–term biodiversity conservation goals in the Central Himalayas
Climate impact from two decades of forest change in the Himalayas.
Himalayan forests sequestered 129.9 MtCO₂eq (2000-2021). Nepal’s forests achieved net sequestration of 73.4 MtCO₂eq. Eastern Himalayas are a long-term and high-density carbon sink.
Post-fire regeneration patterns in the European Alps
Post-fire regeneration in conifer and mixed forests of the Alps reveals patterns and dynamics in the short- and medium-term driven by fire severity, species composition, and environmental conditions.
Tree base and standing snag: the other forest microhabitat contributor to consider in the dead wood management strategy
Does the tree wells microclimate cluster forest regenerations?
Historical forest fires in the high Catalan-Andorran-Occitan Pyrenees: the Desbosiguem! dataset
This contribution presents the Desbosiguem! dataset, a cross-border compilation of the historical forest fires in the high Catalan-Andorran-Occitan Pyrenees.
Multifunctional Forestry in Transition: Challenges and Opportunities for Small Enterprises in LAG MontagnAppennino.
The LAG MontagnAppennino, within the RUSTIK Living Lab framework, explores the role of SMEs in fostering sustainable forest management in the Garfagnana and Media Valle del Serchio regions.
Effects of habitat fragmentation on quality of silver fir seed sources in Austria
Silver fir reforestation is hindered by low quality of silver fir seed. Habitat fragmentation negatively affects seed quality, highlighting the need for seeds from large, continuous populations.
Mapping the impacts of multiple disturbances on protection forests in the Italian Alps
We mapped recent forest disturbances in South Tyrol, analyzing patterns, rates, and correlations. Then, we assessed the impacts on protection forests, offering helpful information to decision-makers.
Impacts of drought events on Mountain Forests: from individual tree responses to satellite-based assessment
We aim to assess the impact of drought on forests by linking and calibrating Remote Sensing observations to a unique intra-annual time-series of carbon fixation.
A vegetation survey on woody species encroachment of abandoned pastures in the Alps
The research focuses on how climatic and socio-economic shifts drive woody species encroachment into mountain grassland abandoned pastures, altering carbon sequestration patterns.
