Despite growing interest in NbS and their benefits in various societal domains, there is still a lack of precise understanding of their role in tourism and climate change.
Water quality assessment of springs originating from rock glaciers: results from a multi-year survey in the Western Alps, Italy
Springs originating from rock glaciers are important water resources. Their water quality needs to be addressed through both chemical and biological indicators
Sustainable livestock grazing in Mediterranean mountains for insect conservation
Sustainable livestock grazing is challenging in Mediterranean arid mountains: maintaining 15–20 cm vegetation height and 25–50% cover through mild grazing supports butterfly and Orthoptera diversity.
Nature-based Solutions in mountain areas to meet EU Nature Restoration Targets: First insights from the project EVESNAT
The project EVESNAT evaluates the role of Nature-based Solutions in supporting biodiversity and human well-being under the new EU Nature Restoration Law.
Back to the communities: sustainable approach to forest fire management in High-Altitude Regions of Nepal
This study explores community perceptions, challenges, and opportunities for strengthening community-led forest fire management in Nepal’s Himalayan districts.
Mapping of Landscape Changes in Hohe Tauern National Park using the CC-HABITALP Method
This project addresses the gap in studying landscape changes in alpine habitats by using the CC-HABITALP method to identify key ecological processes in Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria.
Mountains Through Time: Genetic Shifts in Alpine Flora Under Climate Change
This study uses herbarium genomics to assess climate change-driven genetic diversity loss in alpine plants, revealing adaptation patterns and informing conservation strategies for vulnerable species.
Towards automated vision-based monitoring of insects in high temporal resolution – a pilot project in the Swiss Alps.
We present a novel method using automatic insect cameras to monitor abundance, biomass, and taxonomic composition of insects and their temporal dynamics along elevational gradients in the Swiss Alps.
Effectiveness of Nature-based Solutions in Biodiversity Conservation in Mountain Areas
Through a systematic review, we assess whether NbS addressing global change pressures such as climate change are an effective way to simultaneously maintain biodiversity in mountain areas.
Hohe Tauern National Park: A Model for Conservation and Long-Term Ecological Research in the Austrian Alps
Hohe Tauern National Park, a key LTER-Austria site, advances long-term ecological research and monitoring while collaborating on the development of a joint LTSER platform in the Austrian Alps.
