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.
Biodiversity monitoring in Obergurgl: Tradition and future perspective
Since 2000, a monitoring programme of abiotic factors and species composition of fauna and flora along an altitudinal gradient is one of the central duties of the Alpine Research Centre in Obergurgl.
Application of Climate-Smart Forestry in long-term experimental plots to analyze the management effects for forest resilience and climate adaptation
Long-term experimental plots provide a robust data foundation for evaluating the effects of forest management practices on climate-smart forestry over time, supporting informed forest managers’ choice
Understanding community assemblage using species and functional diversity across elevational gradients from the tropics to the arctic
Insights into the responses of plant species and communities and their function to climate change.
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.
Biotic-interactions of ericaceous shrubs: A global review and the mountain perspective
We synthesize the diverse biotic interactions associated with ericaceous shrubs globally, including mountainous regions. Additionally, we explore the vulnerabilities and/or resilience of these interac
The role of abundance in community modelling: Predicting plant communities in the Andean super-páramo
Community models could be improved by considering the strength and consistency of co-occurrence patterns. Our study incorporated an abundance criterion to enhance the ecological relevance of models.
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
