This study integrates multi-scale global datasets to reveal the pattern alpine treeline elevations and taxon, refining predictions of forest dynamics and biodiversity responses to climate change.
Rock glacier springs as potential climate refugia for aquatic biodiversity in alpine headwaters
A first attempt of drawing parallels and comparisons between alpine spring habitats and the potential of rock glacier springs as climate refugia for cold adapted aquatic species.
Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Slovenia Over the Last 30 Years: Patterns, Drivers, and Management Strategies
This study analyzes 30 years of bark beetle outbreaks in Slovenia, presenting results of studies on spatial-temporal patterns, environmental drivers, and management strategies in a changing climate.
What will alpine grassland look like at the end of the 21st century?
Root growth responses in alpine grassland to summer drought depend on its duration. The long winters contribute to root losses in combination with severe drought in the preceding growing season.
GLOBALP: A Global Database of Alpine Vegetation
GLOBALP, part of sPlot, is a global alpine vegetation database with 2,796 georeferenced plots, representing vegetation formations above the treeline in both temperate and tropical regions.
Biotic and abiotic constraints of Scots pine and mountain birch seedlings on the treeline ecotone of subarctic Finnish Lapland
The study explores biotic and abiotic factors affecting Scots pine and mountain birch seedling growth and abundance in Finnish subarctic.
Unravelling the fish communities and associated habitat parameters in Tissa river system of Arunachal Pradesh, eastern Himalaya, India.
This study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of species-environment interactions, conservation of endemic fish species providing implementable insights into habitat management & conservation.
Three decades of vegetation change in the high-elevation zone of the Tyrolean Alps
Based on 30-year vegetation monitoring data in the alpine to nival zone of the Central Alps, we show changes in species abundances in relation to their thermal niches.
Key emerging and escalating issues raised by rural depopulation in the Himalaya
We then took a systems thinking approach to illustrate interlinkages among the issues identified in the horizon scan in a causal network, depicting their multi-directional and non-linear interactions.
