Global warming in the Sudetes has caused different growth responses of spruce depending on water availability: from optimum to growth reduction of up to -40% on the southern slopes of the massif.
Grazing reduced vegetation biomass and root nutrition related to plateau zokor creating mounds in summer on the Tibetan Plateau
Before assessing the impact of plateau zokors, it is important to consider grazing regimes, as they create mounds during the summer in summer pastures due to the reduced crude protein content in roots
Local Adaptation Readiness for effective Climate Risk Management
Adaptation readiness at the local level is crucial for effective climate risk management, particularly in the context of natural hazards, due to their spatially explicit and localised nature.
Transdisciplinary Mountain Research for Resilient Mountain Communities against Natural Hazards
A transdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between natural and social sciences and strengthens partnerships between stakeholders to ensure effective disaster and climate risk management.
First inventory of the paraglacial activity in the Venosta Valley (Italy) in relation to the recent glacial recession
Study of the Venosta Valley (South Tyrol) glaciers to reconstruct their recent evolution and to create an inventory of the paraglacial events on these glaciers.
Enabling and limiting factors for the effectiveness of protective forests – Evidences from a qualitative survey in four alpine areas in Austria
Qualitative analysis on enabling and limiting factors for an effective and adequate provision of forest protection against natural hazards in affected case study regions in Austria
Sediment flux and path-length validation in a large Alpine River: the Tagliamento
We combine field morphological measurements with numerical simulations to validate sediment movements in the Tagliamento River.
Participatory Workshop towards recognizing Heritage in the Hazard-Risk-Resilience Nexus in Val Resia
This study explores cultural heritage’s role in community resilience to natural hazards in Val Resia, part of the Julian Alps BR, highlighting local identity, knowledge, and practices in DRM measures.
Changing strategies in debris flow mitigation in the European Alps
Development of strategies in debris flow management over the last 150 years: from the first large-scale structural protection measures to the diversification of strategies and the latest trends.
Analysing multi-hazard risk in the Alps by integrating Forensic Analysis and Impact Chains
This contribution integrates forensic analysis and impact chains to enhance multi-hazard risk understanding in the Alps, learning from historical events and offering a structured understanding of risk
